PSP Gamepad For PC v1.0

Racer_S from our forums has released a new application that works both on your PSP and PC. It allows you to use your PSP as a gamepad on your PC using your WiFi router. This is Racer_S's first PSP application, titled PSP Gamepad for PC, and judging by the comments in our forums, it works perfectly! It requires a bit of knowledge to get to work, especially if you know a bit about Lua coding or have previous experience working with Youresam's amazing Netlib. However, if you follow the instructions correctly, you should be fine.

The only slight hitch at the moment is that the Analog nub cannot be used. The video above shows Racer_S using the PSP gamepad on his PC. Here's how to install this nifty piece of homebrew:

1. Download and install Netlib 2.0.
2. Extract pspgamepad folder from this archive to PSPGAMEluaplayerApplications folder.
3. Edit PSPGAMEluaplayerApplicationspspgamepadindex.lua with notepad or similar program and change [pc_ip = "XXX.XXX.X.X"] to your target computer ip and save the file.
4. Start LUAPlayer on your PSP Game list and then select pspgamepad from the list and press circle.
5. Run the receiver.exe on the target computer.
6. After the socket is opened, press some buttons on the psp and you should see the activity light blink on the receiver program, if not the connection is not working.
7. Start a game and configure the keys as you normally would, play and enjoy!

The avid homebrewers amongst you may know that there have been applications in the past that do this, but this small VB6 application requires no installation; however you will need the VB6 runtime files.

time to get some wifi router

A novelty certainly, but wouldn't it be better to use a regular gamepad that doesn't require batteries?

[KanedA]

well... yeah, but why make things easier usually when I play (and todays it's like - WOW KanedA does play PC games sometime ) I use my USB to PSX adapter and one of my Dualshock/Dualshock 2 pads but using PSP would be good oportunity if I'd like to play while sitting in bed

You would until the batteries die in the middle of a game +)

I see no difference between this and a normal wireless controller.

[Celine]

Point is, most people don't own wireless controllers. I refer to the buy-it-and-play crowd, not you geeks with your custom setups

[KanedA]

gee.. what?

remember everything that's custom is better than stocks

[Celine]

The standard controllers work just fine, and I have a very negative view against batteries since they are a major pollution problem - unless perhaps your wireless controllers can be recharged by plugging them in?

So......lame. Who would honestly use this? It's awkward enough using those controls for ACTUAL PSP games...

don't like it? don't use it and don't post here and it ain't awkward... but since you play with your xbox pad it's easy to understand, that psp controlls are too small for you
