It took a while, but developer JJS has released a new version of PSPdisp, an app that lets you use your PlayStation Portable as an extra PC monitor. This latest release adds sound streaming, a new WLAN mode, and more. Here's a video demonstrating some of the new features.



New features:
  • SideShow driver for Vista and Windows 7
  • speed improvements / CPU load reduction
  • CPU load reduction (down to 0 % without screen changes) when using the PSPdisp display driver
  • rotation is now performed on the PSP, no increase in CPU load on the PC
  • quality and delay settings now customizable through the UI
  • completely revamped Wlan mode (switched server to the PC, can now recover from a lost connection etc.)
  • added option to disable display streaming (only transmitting controls)
  • new option to always switch the PSP display to the screen containing the mouse cursor
  • new control file command to display an onscreen keyboard for entering text on the PSP
  • new control file command to display the PSPdisp menu at the current mouse position
  • added support for the assignment of key combinations to PSP buttons (e.g. ALT+F4 can be mapped to one button)
  • various settings regarding PSP power saving in USB mode (turning off screen, reducing clock speed, etc. after a user defined idle timeout)
  • PSP clockspeed can be configured for Wireless LAN mode (default, 111, 222, 333 Mhz)
  • all user defined files (configuration data and control files) now stored in the application data path
  • experimental audio streaming
Bug fixes:
  • case of analog stick movements not being registered
  • the two longest delay settings are now clickable
  • "grab transparent windows" now actually works (only for 480x272 viewport)
Known issues:
  • there are cases where the PSP waits for a Wlan timeout infinitly, making it seem to hang without any message (always fixed by restarting the PSP game, often fixed by turning the Wlan switch off and on again)
  • audio will stutter if data cannot be transmitted fast enough either because of the network conditions or low PC specs
  • some applications issue drawing commands without apparent screen changes, in that case there is no CPU load reduction available when using the PSPdisp display driver

* Start the PSPdisp PC application.
* Rightclick the tray icon and select "Options" -> "Use Wireless Lan".
* You may have to allow PSPisp.exe access to the safe zone in your firewall (e.g. ZoneAlarm would ask now).
* Remember the IP address give in the balloon help.
* Start the "PSPdisp v0.3" game on your PSP.
* Press triangle to enter the IP address shown by the PC tray application.
* Back on the welcome screen, press circle to connect to the PC.

but for the 4th step the pc program doesnt show me the ip address

and i have my fire wall set up to ask me if anything try's to connect to the internet and its not saying anything could anyone help me? thanks

if yu need your IP, click "start" and "run". type "cmd" in the small box. the black box shows up and you type "ipconfig" and Enter.
No balloon help came up for me, so thats what i did.

I can't get the wlan part to work, usb works great.

* Start the PSPdisp PC application.
* Rightclick the tray icon and select "Options" -> "Use Wireless Lan".
* You may have to allow PSPisp.exe access to the safe zone in your firewall (e.g. ZoneAlarm would ask now).
* Remember the IP address give in the balloon help.
* Start the "PSPdisp v0.3" game on your PSP.
* Press triangle to enter the IP address shown by the PC tray application.
* Back on the welcome screen, press circle to connect to the PC.

I followed the above but the PSP just keeps on displaying "Connecting to '192.168.61.4'"
