Homebrew coder JJS is back in the scene to release a new version of PSPdisp, a nifty app that enables your homebrew-capable Playstation Portable to act as an extra monitor for your Windows PC. What's new in version 0.5.1?
Changelog:
- New features on the PSP:
- support for Half Byte Loader, but with these limitations
- only WLAN mode usable, no USB mode
- image streaming is about 30-50 % slower than on Custom Firmware
- audio sample rates other than 44 kHz not available on all firmwares
- screen brightness cannot be changed through the menu
- HOME button must be pressed twice for the menu to appear
- support for Half Byte Loader, but with these limitations
- New features on the PC:
- libusb driver updated to the latest version, it now works on 64 bit systems with active driver signature enforcement
Developer's note:
This program package enables the use of a Playstation Portable as an additional monitor in Windows. You can also remotely send keyboard and mouse commands to the PC. The newest version implements sound streaming, too.
PSPdisp is compromised of four components, on Windows a display driver, an usb driver and the interface application which captures the screen, compresses it and sends it over USB or WLAN to the PSP. On the PSP side there is an application that decompresses the frames and displays them.
System Requirements:
PSP
You need a Custom Firmware, Homebrew Enabler or Half Byte Loader to run PSPdisp. It should be compatible with any version from at least 3.40 OE on. If you are looking for a Custom Firmware to convert your PSP to, you might want either 5.50 GEN D3 or 5.00 M33-6. If your PSP 2000/3000 got 5.03 official firmware, get ChickHEN.
Half Byte Loader note:
PSPdisp is not compatible with Hot Shots Golf: Open Tee, Everybody's Golf or Minna No Golf due to lack of network support.
Installation:
Download the installer package below and execute it. The installer works for all supported platforms and will install the correct 32 bit or 64 bit drivers. If you want to manually install the drivers, you can extract the setup files with an unzip tool (like 7zip). This will leave some files in the wrong folder, so this is only recommended if you know what you are doing.
Important! If you uninstall a previous version you have to restart the computer before starting the new setup. Otherwise the new display driver will be uninstalled on the next restart and you have to install it again!
Note that the usb, the display and the SideShow driver are not WHQL certified. Windows will present you with a security warning because of that.
