New PSP Controller Program Unveiled

Posted Jul 29, 2006 at 6:08AM EST by QJ Staff

Listed in: Homebrew Applications, Wi-Fi Tags: Custom Firmware, David Rudie, joysticks, Mikko Monone, PPJoy, psp homebrews, WiFi Controller

Inspired by the work of Mikko Monone, who wrote the original controller program, David Rudie decided to give this program his own mark. The WiFi Controller program basically turns your PSP into a controller for your PC. A few of the things he noticed that's a little amiss with the original was that the start button exited the program and select didn't work plus he wanted some more details on the display.

He borrowed a tiny bit of the original codes as a starting point and the rest was all his. Also, we have to give it up for PPJoy for helping out. Rudie writes a detailed how-to in the Read Me file included in the downloaded, which I'm going to put here for everyone's convenience.

Open the PSP directory and edit the proper wifi.cfg for your PSP version and set the IP of the computer you are going to use this on.
Copy the correct director(y|ies) to your PSP depending on whether you have a 1.0 or 1.5 PSP. If you use a custom firmware mod that allows the use of single EBOOT.PBP files on a 1.5 PSP then you can use the 1.0 directory.
Download and install PPJoy. http://www.geocities.com/deonvdw/Docs/PPJoyMain.htm
After it is installed open up your Control Panel and run Parallel Port Joysticks.
When the window comes up click Add... at the bottom and then Add on the next screen.
It will want to install some drivers so either have it scan automatically or point it to the directory you install PPJoy to.
After it is done installing, click the PPJoy Virtual joystick 1 in the menu and click Mapping...
Choose "Set a custom mapping for this controller" and click Next.

Axes = 2 (X Axis and Y Axis)

Buttons = 8
POV hats = 1

X Axis = Analog 0

Y Axis = Analog 1

These buttons are up to you to set. I left them all default but changed Button 7 and Button 8 to be correct because they ARE WRONG default.

    Button 1 = Digital 0
    Button 2 = Digital 1
    Button 3 = Digital 2
    Button 4 = Digital 3
    Button 5 = Digital 4
    Button 6 = Digital 5
    Button 7 = Digital 11
    Button 8 = Digital 10

Directional button POV

    North = Digital 6
    East = Digital 7
    West = Digital 9
    South = Digital 8

Run the SocketText.exe program. It will open a Command Prompt window. Just minimize it and forget about it. If it just opens and closes, something went wrong. Good luck.
Now start the program no your PSP and it should connect to your computer and basically be working. You'll find out in the next step.
Go back to your control panel and go to Game Controllers. Click on the PPJoy Virtual joystick 1 and choose Properties. On the screen that comes up you should be able to press buttons on the PSP and have them show as working on the screen. I recommend calibrating the Analog Stick too.
Enjoy!

Thanks imk for this one. Hopefully this won't be the last.

"He borrowed a tiny bit of the original codes "

Here, let me help you a bit. 'Code' is already plural. 'Line of code' is the singular. There is no 'codes' in a single project.

If you don't want to look like a dork to anyone that actually knows what they are talking about, either learn the real lingo or don't use it at all.

# **** Devhook .046 — lllegal Machine 2006-07-29 09:00

Ive been reading the results and I have to say Im thouroughly displeased with Booster on this one..

He's been advertising this feature for a long time in the to do list and now that it's out I get the feeling that it's more of a POS than any kind of upgrade. I'll just stick with .45 untill the 2.80 emulation comes out just like everyone else on here that has the sense to do so. (and that's most from what I read)

as far as I'm concerned He's been wasting his time even working on this, and SHOULD have been doing something about the memory issues the web browser has. (not enough memory)

otherwise I percieve this as a totally useless release, and if its giving corrupted settings loops then ONLY the POC mods can help you.

and that's just no good

# worth upgrading? — Guest 2006-07-29 09:03

does this support use of the analog nub? because i have the original psp pc gamepad program, and im wondering if its worth the upgrade. its seems like a more complicated install than the original.

# Fixed it. — DiabloTerrorGF 2006-07-29 09:09

the instructions fail to say to change the port type.

"5) When the window comes up click Add... at the bottom and then Add on the

next screen."

should be:

"5) When the window comes up click Add...A new window will pop up then change Parallel Port to virtual joysticks and then click Add again."

# replies — imk 2006-07-29 09:31

@4: I doubt it would work on a 2.6.

@6: 0.2 is newer than 0.1 :)

@8: Lingo? It was a typo.

@10: Yes, Analog is supported.

@11&13: I couldn't remember the steps exactly. I wrote all those out of memory. I'll fix that in the readme for next time.

# this works pretty well — Guest 2006-07-29 09:53

its worth using this over the gamepad. its harder to install but being able to use the analog stick is worth it.

# @15 — imk 2006-07-29 09:53

Try what DiabloTerrorGF said to fix it.

# more replies — imk 2006-07-29 10:19

@18) If you press buttons and move the analog stick and it shows it working in the Game Controller properties then it should be ready to use in any game. You just have to go to the game preferences and map the buttons to do what you want. It should act like a regular controller now.

@19) That's your choice.

@20) I'm not really interesting in making a USB version since that would require a lot more work and I already have a USB joystick. I wanted WiFi. :) Sorry.

@21) I have many linux boxes as well as osx and freebsd. I personally dislike Ubuntu. I prefer Gentoo or LFS. Anyway, I might work on a linux version some time. The server source code is there so it can be ported to Linux.

@22) See post by 13.

@23) DOOM!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!

# Maybe I missed something... — Guest 2006-07-29 10:30

Is there something new here or is this the exact same programs that came out back in November of 2005 on pspdev? I don't see any difference in the version numbers or functions.

I would really have would like to see a USB version as well, but it would be hard after seeing the problems they had with keyboard emulation and everything (no driver support). Maybe if someone wrote an interface that would read from changes in a txt file for button presses. Dunno.

# To #9 — Guest 2006-07-29 10:39

Jesus Christ mate, it's his program to do with as he sees fit. He has no obligation to do as you, or any one else, wants, as you are not paying customers or shareholders.

Would you rather he just not release anything at all?

HAHAHA, i always thought about doing something like this for the PSP, i didint think it could be done, up until a few days ago when i saw the first release, now im wondering if it is possible to use USB

I already read that you wouldnt be making it, which sux, but maybe some1 else will be able to make it happen

I only know the crap ass prgm languages (JAVA, VB and PHP)

so I don't think I will be able to program something like this

:( oh well

# Nice — RuthlessOne 2006-07-29 11:37

Hey great work! The thought of using your PSP as a universal controller is awsome. Now i can play my emulators without having to buy a USB controller.

Linux is for hack kiddies that think they can hack and/or dont wanna pay for a REAL OS. Just give it up and acknowledge that windows is the only OS to support 99.99% of the programs on the market.

# gah — solidus4prez 2006-07-29 12:08

i changed the IP, still cant get past 2

# replies — imk 2006-07-29 12:15

@30) Odd... It tries to use your first WiFi connection in the list. Maybe something is wrong with that end. :)

@33) Maybe you mapped it wrong? Triangle works here.

@37) Try reading some of the earlier comments. I missed something when writing the steps. It might help you.

@38) You should leave the port setting untouched unless you changed the server port (which I don't think you did). As for the IP address. It should be the IP address of the computer that you want to use the controller on (and the one that will be running the SocketTest).

@39) Not sure why it wouldn't get past 2. It's basically the same connect code everyone uses. I've started it before without the server running and it goes through all the states just fine.

@41) Trolling sucks and so do you. :)

# Wow — Guest 2006-07-29 12:30

For some reason my analog nub seems to be moving all the time. It won't let me map out any other buttons. In the Windows controller config it doesn't let me move it, and when I click a button to map it out in ppjoy it akways hits analog0. Help please?

Triangle also doesn't work here, anyone confirm there's does?

# Triangle doesn't workf or me either — DiabloTerrorGF 2006-07-29 14:05

But I fixed it as well

On the first map screen, change the number of buttons to 9.

follow as normal till you get to the buttons, skip the first button map, set it to nothing, then set the others like he has it but one more slot down.

" Button 1 = Digital 0

Button 2 = Digital 1

Button 3 = Digital 2

Button 4 = Digital 3

Button 5 = Digital 4

Button 6 = Digital 5

Button 7 = Digital 11

Button 8 = Digital 10"

Becomes

" Button 1 = nothing

Button 2 = Digital 0

Button 3 = Digital 1

Button 4 = Digital 2

Button 5 = Digital 3

Button 6 = Digital 4

Button 7 = Digital 5

Button 8 = Digital 11

Button 9 = Digital 10"

I cannot get this to work...my wifi.cfg looks like this..

(those xxx aren't actualy there)

Anyways, my cfg looks like that NOW because i couldn't figure out y it doesnt want to connect.. can someone just show what they have for there cfg?? and i have 2 cfg's should i edit them both? ones located in my src folder at the root of my card and the others in the game> the folder WITHOUT the % on it.

# humm — Guest 2006-07-29 14:50

"Run the SocketText.exe program. It will open a Command Prompt window. Just minimize it and forget about it. If it just opens and closes, something went wrong."

Then will you please tell me, what the Hell went wrong?

I did everything the Readme says and "something went wrong."

# interesting — imk 2006-07-29 15:18

@56) That's pretty weird. The way I listed the button mapping was the same exact way I have it set up here. I wonder what makes it different for some people.

@59) Wrong area?

@60) Ignore the src directory unless you're going to change the code and make it how you want. You should only need to modify the wifi.cfg in the directory for your PSP version. All you need to do is put in the IP of the computer you want to use this on. You don't need to change the port.

@61) What firmware version are you trying this from? I only tested it on a modified 1.5 firmware.

@62) I wish I could but I can't. I guess maybe try what other people here have said about getting things to work.

I'll be cleaning up the readme some and directions some with the next release so people might be able to get it working better. It's not the easiest to explain all these steps in terms that everyone can understand. :)

# @61 — Guest 2006-07-29 15:18

Same with mine. It won't even light up the WLAN light at all. Just dies and gives that error. Everything's set up correctly, the .exe runs fine, joystick is set up right. Wonder why it chooses not to connect.

(Also, every other program such as PSP FTP, web browsers, etc. all connect fine? So it's not my network settings... weird)

# @61 and 53 -- Forgot — Guest 2006-07-29 15:20

# Found the error. — CarXCrashXHearts 2006-07-29 15:32

"CreateFile failed with error code 2 trying to open \\.\PPJoyIOCTL1 device." That's what it says when it pops-up/closes. I have no idea what that means. Oh and by the way, fix it so it doesn't close when there's an error so people could tell you what errors they have. You should know what the errors are since you've built this from scratch.

# But nevermind anyway. — CarXCrashXHearts 2006-07-29 15:35

Screw this anyway. I'm not breaking my back right now for analog support. I'm just going to keep using the other controller. I don't understand why you guys are saying the Start button closes and the Select button doesn't work in the other PSPGamepad. They both work completely fine for me.

# Copy paste plz — Guest 2006-07-29 15:35

Can someone that has this app actualy working, can they plz just copy and paste what they have in the wifi.wfg file? plz help me out in this way, u dont have to show your full ip just use "xxx" in it instead but I just need the basic setup style.

# WERKING SETTUP — soopergooman 2006-07-29 16:01

okay this is what I had to do. I had X-Flashed alot of things on my psp, including dark_alex cfw. So I un-X-flashed(too many hiphens) everything, erased all my network connections, rebooted and then set up a new network connection. It then started up no problems. try it, and i bet it'll werk. even trangle werks.

# @CarXCrashXHear ts — imk 2006-07-29 16:11

CarXCrashXHeart s, You're a moron. :)

If you had read ANYTHING, you would see that I did not write the server. I simply wrote the client on the PSP. You would also notice that I never referred to the Lua Gamepad put out. But hey, not everyone can be smart, right? Maybe you shouldn't answer that.

Now granted, not everyone has the same setup. Not everyone is running the same version of windows. Not everyone has the same PSP version or mods and so on. I can't predict all the possibilities out there. I have two 1.50 PSP's that I test with. It works for me. If it's not working for you, I did include the source code so you could try to fix it yourself. Other people here are saying they got it to work and that it worked great for them. Others can't figure it out. Those that can get it to work... that's cool. Congratulations to you. Those that can't, I'm sorry. :)

# Excellent!! Very responsive!! — Guest 2006-07-29 16:49

I must say, using PPJoy is amazing

I have never heard of this app before, who would have thought that a program dealing with parallel port joypads would have use for a over-the-WLAN controller! I had something very similar to this working, but I used a program called AutoHotkey on the PC and a Python program I wrote to be a socket listener and send AutoHotkey commands. Only problem was, I can only send keystrokes and mouse commands using AutoHotkey. For the life of me I couldn't figure out what PC application I could use to get it to map to a game controller in the Control Panel. This answers my question. I shall peek at the source and incorporate this in program I am writing that is like a PSP command center for the PC. Currently, the client is coded in LUA for the PSP, and supports config customizable keyboard presses and mouse movements using analog, etc. I also have a complete file browser with the ability to remotely launch the files on the PC along with winamp controls. I am going to work on a complete re-write using C languge for PSP incorporating this joystick support along with aditional things I have planned for it. I will release it when its ready

Btw, is there any reason why the PSP spams packets even if no keys are being pressed? In my LUA version (which is just as responsive as this application) it only sends keyup and keydown notifications if they are pressed. I think this may preserve the battery a bit more.

Anyway, nice application

I might want to get in contact with you later.

How do I find out my IP adress?

# great — Guest 2006-07-29 17:05

if running windows go to command prompt and type in "ipconfig", that should give u your ip

This application is fanastic, the only bug for me is triangle button, but its no big deal, analog is fantastic, it works a charm on a n64 emulator too.

Really great stuff, keep up the good work!!!!

# Mine connects but... — Guest 2006-07-29 17:13

I dont get any respocne from the calibration section in the game controlers control panel. It responds on the PSP side lighting up the button pressed but it doesnt move the calibration. the activity light lights up and the pc's internet activity light is continously on (constant activity)... the firewall is letting it run. So I dont know what else to do...

# replies — imk 2006-07-29 18:02

@76) I don't know if the Datel HD would get in the way. I don't have one to test it with.

@77) I don't know. I don't have a 2.60 PSP to test it with. It doesn't write to flash or anything so why don't you just give it a try instead of asking?

@80) It's basically sending a packet on every vblank, which is 60Hz. You can figure it out. I had originally coded mine in the same method as yours in that it only sends a packet when a key is pressed or released. The problem with that is that you couldn't do something similar with the analog stick really. I was going to try to re-implement that code again but instead compare the previous analog position to the new analog position and only send a packet if that changes. I will still sync it to vblank though so that it doesn't just spam away when the analog stick is in the position where it is constantly changing numbers. I don't know how much extra sending the packets that often would hurt the battery time. I played a game for at least 2 hours using the PSP the entire time and the battery still showed 3 bars. Feel free to contact me any time.

@87) Weird. How many connections do you have set up? I only have one item in my network config so that's the only one I test with. I'll look into this problem some more.

Thanks for all the feedback.

# hmmm — Guest 2006-07-29 18:14

I can get this to work on my crappy computer but not my good one. Does anyone know anything that can mess with inbound connections besides a router or firewall because they both have identical setting between them.Also on a side note which is relevant my good pc also cant use bittorrent though my crappy one can.Also they use the same network card dont remeber the name.

what does it mean when u run the eboot on the psp and it says "WifiController: sceNetApctlCone ct returns 80110601

# same problem as 84 and 85 — Guest 2006-07-29 18:42

how do you fix this!

# A — Guest 2006-07-29 18:42

check to make sure u have a connection opn ur psp

# @MXACE — Guest 2006-07-29 18:45

it says tehres a wireless connection, the wifi signal flashes, it just wont calibrate and the buttons wont show a signal

# @Adam — Guest 2006-07-29 18:50

u have socket test running?

# @mxace — Guest 2006-07-29 18:54

yes, but the socket test doesnt seem to do anything, even when I load up the wifi controller. It just says:

"psp controller test pc host

# @adam — Guest 2006-07-29 18:56

# @mxace — Guest 2006-07-29 19:00

yes just tried that, no difference

# HOW DO YOU SET — Guest 2006-07-29 19:04

Open the PSP directory and edit the proper wifi.cfg for your PSP version and set the IP of the computer you are going to use this on.

# YAY i got it to work — Guest 2006-07-29 19:07

2 things you need to make sure of:

- make sure you have a infrastructure connection on your psp

- check your ip address using cmd by typing ipconfig.

thats what i screwed up but after i fixed it, the controller is aweseom..to the max!!!

# @Adam & PSPMANIAC — Guest 2006-07-29 19:11

Adam im sorry i cant think of anyhting else that would help...

PSPMANIAC get rid of everything b4 the "square" in front of "address"

# @ mxace — Guest 2006-07-29 19:18

do I need to have a specific folder for the sockettest.exe?

# if your get the wifi connect error — drew4237 2006-07-29 19:21

if you get this error WifiController: sceNetpctlConne ct returns 80110601

i made a second wifi connection and it worked but i made it a static connection it might just work by makeing a second dynamic connection but idk. i ended up getting it to work but then i realised that i dont have a game installed so i cant try it. i wil install a game tommorrow cause it is late.

# WifiController: sceNetpctlConne ct returns 80110601 — Guest 2006-07-29 19:58

I believe ppl get this error because the connection there trying to reach is not allowing them.... if your using a 1.5 psp, it only has WEP if your wirelss has WP2 or w/e thats called...as an encryption.. then ya you wont get on, maybe try removing your encryption, set it to NONE on your router then try it worked for me.

# socket test problems too. — Guest 2006-07-29 19:59

@ 88. » sockettest ?

If you want to do it the easy way then run Search-> SocketTest OR go to the file you originally downloaded which has the psp's eboot. There should be a folder called PC and src. Go to the PC one.

anyways, does anyone know how to fix the socket error? Mine just opens and closes. I did everything right but i don't know why it doesnt work.

If i try doing it manually with the cmd, it would say

CreateFile failed with error code 2 trying to open \\.\PPJoyIOCTL1 Device

Maybe i entered the wrong values? i doubt it though. The psp can connect, even though nothing happens.

# Woo! — Guest 2006-07-29 19:59

107 - Yep, confirmed as working. Just made another connection (only had one) and it works fine. Tested it with static and dynamic, both worked. Thanks for the great idea!

# Possible solution/theory — Guest 2006-07-29 20:08

I had the same problem connecting the psp to the server . At first I was stuck at the "attempt 2 of 4" screen . then I tried deleting the first connection in the infrastructure option since I notice the program doesn't give you a choice of selecting the wifi connection ( and the first entry wasn't the connection at my place). After deleting the first connection and making sure the first was my default connection the program started to give me the "WifiController: sceNetpctlConne ct returns 80110601 " error.

Determined to find out more about this problem I tried out other wifi related programs and some of them worked ok, and others didn't.. usually the ones that don't give you the choice of selecting the wifi connection failed to connect at all. The interesting thing is that when I tried pspradio, at the select connection screen I noticed that the first two options were garbled text ( which coincides with the connections I had deleted before)..

I tried deleting another wifi connection in the infrastructure option ( the first one again) and went back to psp radio options. I noticed that there were now three entries with garbled text ( the three ones I deleted) . So , my theory is that somehow when I was deleting the connection in the infrastructure options it wasnt really and completely deleting it. I dont know why it was happening since it hasnt happened in the past..maybe another homebrew ( probably Devhook) messed up with the registry .

I ended up reseting my psp to default state and recreating the connection. That seemed to fixed the problem with this program. but the question still remains there.. what really happened with the psp that it did not fully deleted the connections?..Moreover, it would be good if you can implement a option at start to select your wifi connection.

# Figured it out — Guest 2006-07-29 20:09

Im back (was #109) having the trouble with the socket prob. To all who don't get it to stay up, i think i have the solution:

It may be that you had LPT1 controller insted of Virtual Controller. When clicking on Parrallel Port Joysticks in the Control Panel, select Virtual Keyboard when adding a controller insted of that other one.

Hopefully everyone who had this problem has it no more.

-Neo_burn

# hmm — imk 2006-07-29 20:24

For my next version I'll try adding in support for selecting the wifi connection to use (as well as some fixed directions and more info hopefully).

# @111 — Guest 2006-07-29 20:54

So according to post 111,(aka tek) Im stuck at "attempt 3 of 4" so for this your saying I should reset my psp back to defaults and try it again? (ps yes I have DevHook install)

# @#75 — CarXCrashXHearts 2006-07-29 21:36

To #75, I'm the moron? It never said "I didn't write the server." Good job being a complete idiot.

And making a completely useless program that doesn't work for most of the people in here.

Also, you're not too smart for thinking that I said it was YOU who referred to the Lua Gamepad. Read this article. Read peoples' comments.

Hey, not everyone can be smart, right?

Maybe you shouldn't answer that.

# 1st — Guest 2006-07-29 21:51

# Cool but.. — Azrael 2006-07-29 22:43

First off, congrats to imk for the amazing program, very usefull, and with an amazing response time.

My only problem is that the connection works for about 2 - 5 minutes, and then the PSP stops responding. SocketTest is working, and the PSP still tries to send the signals to the pc, but nothing happens. Tried with both a static and non-static connections, both had the same results.

Anyone with the same issue / knows how to fix this.

Thanks in advance, and again, amazing 'brew.

# very nice — Guest 2006-07-29 23:41

the only problem is the late reaction with the stick. but thats pretty much expexted with anything wifi.

other than that it works flawlessly.

# Awesome. Great Response and Feel — Guest 2006-07-30 01:51

Its usefull to calibrate the analog stick too.

And guys its not "When the window comes up click Add... at the bottom and then Add on the next screen."

PPjoy has LTP1 by default, but you have to change the Parallel port from LTP1 to Virtual Joysticks and then proceed...

This needs to be made with usb support.

thats all im gonna say

# cmd — Guest 2006-07-30 05:43

If you have to, you should be able to run sockettest from the cmd window. just get the path that sockettest is put at, and run from inside the command prompt. Then it will not close and it WILL run. Tested 100% over here.

Nice proggie BTW. Noone in BF2 believes im playing with a PSP.

# VNC? — Guest 2006-07-30 05:49

# YO IMK — soopergooman 2006-07-30 05:55

imk I think you've done a GREAT and AMAZING job. This works absolutely WONDERFUL!!!! One question; I use PSP2TV which gives me control of the volume buttons. How would I go about changing the source so that these would also be included? btw I'm no coder.... or better yet, if you could somehow do it. I am very grateful because I was just about to go buy a controller for my pc when this came along. You totally answered my prayers.

Thanks imk!

side note: I use pspgamepad for a pc nes emu. Works GREAT too.

# replies — imk 2006-07-30 07:20

@CarXCrashXHear ts) Yes, you're still a moron. It DOES say he wrote the server. In fact... it's practically the first sentence in the readme.txt (which I'm sure you read). "Mikko Monone wrote the original controller program for the PSP and the server for the PC."

"And making a completely useless program that doesn't work for most of the people in here." I'm sorry, I wasn't aware that I cared that it worked for everyone out there. I'm especially not caring in your case.

And in reply to this... "Also, you're not too smart for thinking that I said it was YOU who referred to the Lua Gamepad. Read this article. Read peoples' comments."

Let me follow it up with the original thing you said... "I don't understand why you guys are saying the Start button closes and the Select button doesn't work in the other PSPGamepad. They both work completely fine for me."

Read THIS article and comments. There is no one mentioning start button or select button problems here. You are the one that was thinking of the wrong program and maybe you should read these comments because obviously the things you talk about don't exist here. Moron.

# replies — imk 2006-07-30 07:42

@116) Nice, congratulations on the first post!

@117) Haven't heard that one yet. For the PSP it to work 2-5 minutes and stop responding is kind of weird. Maybe your access point is dropping you? I'll work on implementing a way to let you know if a connection was dropped so it could reconnect if that happens. I don't know what would be causing it to drop in the first place though.

@118) I have no delayed action with the stick.

@119) Ok, let me get this straight. You say X doesn't work in game... but... at the same time you say you didn't assign it to anything in GTA:SA? I guess, uh, maybe try assigning it to something and see what happens? :)

@120) Adios.

@126&127) Neat. I didn't think it would work on 2.6 but since it does that's pretty awesome.

@128) Great idea! You write it!

@129) You play BF2 with it?! I'm a keyboard/mouse person when it comes to first-person shooters. But that's pretty cool. I might give that a shot when I'm flying or something.

@131) Great, keep using it then. In my opinion, VNC is meant for a different use. While this is designed for this very one thing. :) But hey, I'm not forcing anyone to use any of this. If you like using VNC for it, that's cool. Enjoy.

@132) I _could_ map the volume buttons so they can be used for something, but you can only map those buttons in kernel mode. Maybe in the next version I'll release two separate versions. One in kernel mode for 1.0&1.5 users with volume buttons implemented and one for 2.x users with the volume buttons not implemented. I'll think about it. Thanks for the idea. :)

@133) Check out some of the earlier comments. People have posted their own settings to get the buttons to work. The setup I included in the readme file is exactly what I use and all the buttons work. But not everyone is having the same luck. Try giving their setups a shot and see if it works. Good luck.

# Does it matter — Guest 2006-07-30 07:47

If you don't use a static connection? Also does it matter where the Sockettest and the drivers go?

Thanks for the post that described the fix to the "sceNetpctlConne ct returns 80110601" error about erasing WiFi settings and re-entering them. Very strange. I put the exact same settings in both times (and both connection tests were successful in the XMB), but the first attempt gave an error. After erasing the connection and re-entering it, it works flawlessly. Perhaps a bug in the PSP? If it's relevant, I have Dark_Alex's custom firmware.
