New PSP Controller Program Unveiled |
Ó
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!

ha
looks nice
i might try it
would this work on 2.6 though?
Does it work well?
Why is there a 0.1 and a 0.2?
This will be great, bit will this be compatable with games, like game controllers for the pc? Or will you just have to go into the options of the game for it to work?
Also, will the screen be black, or will it have a view of the pc's screen?
"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.
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
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.
Follow the instructions exactly.

@8: Dude, maybe it was just a typo... Jesus...
@9: Wtf, lol?
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."
@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.
so it says on mine that createfailed with error code 2 trying open \\.\PPJoyIOCTL1 device
its worth using this over the gamepad. its harder to install but being able to use the analog stick is worth it.
Try what DiabloTerrorGF said to fix it.
i can only get my psp to move durning the properties of the game controller in the control panel. how do i make it work on my whole screen
when installing the ppjoy.exe i get this message saying (the software you are installing has not passed windows logo testing to verify its compatibility with windows xp) then i stoped the installation
that would be awesome
No support for Linux ...
There is a world outside the Windows, a free world with no fence and no border, a world where you won't need Passeport and Gates.
Give linux a chance ... try Ubuntu
i have the same error
error code 2 trying open .PPJoyIOCTL1 device
this bull***** dosen't even work
@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!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!
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.
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?
SocketTest doesnt work for me :(
it opens and closes straight away, is there a fix for this?
when i go to the link (ppjoy), i click download, pick the server and do all that stuff, but it won't work, it will not download for me.
Awesome stuff, keep the updates comin!
It always stops here:
On the PSP:
"0 of 4
2 of 4"
@ 26
Don't worry about Illegal Machine he's a *****ing idiot.
The one released a long time ago used Start to exit and Select didn't work at all. I just wrote a new one to look and work how I want. If you don't like it, I don't care. :)
almost! every button works except triangle... ill keep messing with it, but yeah Good Job!
Good work, this is much improved over the old version. Thanks. I appreciate it.
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
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.
cant get this to work
>>>?If it just opens and closes, something went wrong. Good luck.
ummm i dont really no what do with the wifi.cfg can some help me... i know im stupid but the ip of my computer or my wifi card.... and....what does it mean by the port of the server...
I did all the stuff right as far as i know, but it's not getting past connect state 2 of 4
do i need to change the port? and if so, to what?
@38 open notepad n drag it there
"21. » again ...

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.
@40 i know but i dont really understand what it means by port of the server..
i got it working..
@42 i didnt change port just the IP
ok cool ill try thanks
yup that did thanks alot man!
i changed the IP, still cant get past 2
@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 it's great to see other people making a good contribution to the psp scene. this is a really solid program and i will be putting a link up to it on my website if you dont mind.
i give up
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?
ugh, could someone show me EXACTLY how this is supposed to look, I cant get mine to work.
(sockettest loads up, and so does the psp controller, but I get no button input when Im trying to configure it)
This program rocks. Thanks a lot, and your replies to the trolls are hilarious.
can you try with pes5?i cannot use all button..one between x o triangle and square cannot be used, why?
Hey i was just wondering if any 1 know where can i get some cool pc game to play w/ this now...racing,rpg,any good1's
Triangle also doesn't work here, anyone confirm there's does?
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"
nocomment
Triangle... is not working and by the way insteed of choosing 8 buttons take 12
and i Playd San Andreas with this damm its was HOTT like PS2 all most
how do i control windows media player?
and also how can i view my web cam in my psp?
i tried pmp vlc and all i get is sound!
I cannot get this to work...my wifi.cfg looks like this..
signaddress=192.168.0.xxx
port=20001
(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.
i ahve all my settings correct int the wifi.cfg, and it doesnt even connect all says this
WifiController: sceNetpctlConne ct returns 80110601
"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."
@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. :)
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)
Forgot to add I have 1.5 Firmware
"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.
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.
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. Like do I JUST put my ip adress in? really im not sure so plz someone show me whay they have via: copy paste or a screen shot.
download a program called winstick to control WMP, Winamp, windows, etc...
Where exactly do you go to see if your controller works after you finished doing all the settings?
Works very nice! I just have one question. Is terhe a way to make the D-Pad to be read as Axis? Cause I'm trying to play a game that only detecs Axis for movement. Help would be apreciated. Thanks.
same wifi controller: sceNetApct1Connect returns 80110601
@64
are you using STATIC or Normal Connection
@68
here is mine
# set the address and port of the server...
# note: make sure there are no spaces before or after the = sign
address=192.168.0.126
port=20001
btw open wifi.cfg with wordpad (not notpad)
@70 go to control panel and go to Game Controllers and then Click on the PPJoy Virtual joystick 1 and choose Properties there you can press for instence X or move the analog and the axis X will move if its Correct
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.
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. :)
everything loads up but the buttons dont input, I have socket test working, it says my psp connects, but the buttons dont respond in game controllers, Im using a datel hd if that matters..
will this work on 2.6 or not, dont just say no, say why or if you tried it say that
@56- Thanks I had the triangle prob but that fixed it :)
but my select stopped working no biggie though its useless anyway
and thx to the makers great little app
Just tried both. Was originally using STATIC because some homebrew programs had some problems with DHCP. Just now changed it to dynamic, test worked fine, program still gave the same "WifiController: sceNetApctlConn ect returns 80110601" error. No WiFi light or anything.
I must say, using PPJoy is amazing
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 can get everything to work till you get to use it. I got into test and it doesnt work. :(
How do I find out my IP adress?
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!!!!
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...
I put in my IP and it detects the controller, but no response :(
I moved the sockettest from the desktop to C:\PSP-WIFI\SocketTest .exe
also moved the drivers there... uninstalled the PPJoy app and reinstalled. Booted it up on the psp and everything works. even the triangle button . GREAT WORK!!!
this is for imk
im number 61
im testing on a 1.5 no flash mod or anything, no havent even upgraded to 2.0, still a virgin 1.5...
can someone please tell me now to find/open sockettest. i type it on the run program but nothing comes up what should i do.
I've done everything in the instructions 3 times taking every suggestion and change and I still can't get it to work. >:( I think I'll just buy a USB one.
I think thats my problem like with IR shell but i dont know how to check.
@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.
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.
i got the socket test problem 2. i got a screen-shot of it maybe it'll help...
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y141/g_r_e_g/prob.jpg
what does it mean when u run the eboot on the psp and it says "WifiController: sceNetApctlCone ct returns 80110601
how do you fix this!
check to make sure u have a connection opn ur psp
it says tehres a wireless connection, the wifi signal flashes, it just wont calibrate and the buttons wont show a signal
u have socket test running?
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
mikko monenen 2005
press esc to quit"
try closeing ur firewall see if it does anything...
I have a bundle that combines the usb and wifi hosts, auto starts and hides the cmd's...
http:%%forums.qj.net%showthread.php?p=900542#post9005 42
change % to forward slash
yes just tried that, no difference
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.
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 im sorry i cant think of anyhting else that would help...
PSPMANIAC get rid of everything b4 the "square" in front of "address"
do I need to have a specific folder for the sockettest.exe?
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.
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.
@ 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.
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!
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.
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.

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).
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)
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.
FIRST POST WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOO
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 indeed
the only problem is the late reaction with the stick. but thats pretty much expexted with anything wifi.
other than that it works flawlessly.
everybody buttons works......but x don't work.
In the test window in the control panel, after the mapping, the x WORKS.....but in a game.....the x doesn't work.
but I don't set a function in gta san andreas to x button
2nd time n last i'll ask
where can i get some cool pc game"free"
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...
I finally got my connection set up but when i press a button it doesnt show up on my screen..........I have the dos thing going and im connected i see the controller on my screen. Its mapped the correct way but nothing is showing still.
im about to try this on my 2.6, can this in anyway brick my psp? wrong installation, not compatible etc.?
No.
Can any good soul explain how do you connect your damn psp to your computer??? Wad infrasture wadeva ***** ***** it is.. Pls??
ok i tried it on my 2.6, it shows me the keys on my psp, but it does not repond to my pc? howcome?
i just forgot to run socket test, amazing thanks so much to #111 great help
This needs to be made with usb support.
thats all im gonna say
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.
Cant you tell me more? Okie i admit i am a noob and i am crazy to get this thing work.. Everything works fine till the part that is need to edit the wifi.cfg
isnt this just easily done with PortableVNC for PSP in game mode?... i mean it works flawlessly, plus when your done you can use your psp like anyother computer's VNC viewer..
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.
SGM
i was having problems when playing a game casue i set x for accelerate and then when i turned i must have pushed teh anolog stick a little down cause i stoped. what i did to fix this wa sjust set it to one axis but i might try this for an n64 emu so i will have to get it back but i can never get all buttons workign if i get Triangle ot work then x wont work. can someone tell me a setup that lets all work. and the d-pad i couldnt set up to turn in my game i tried to set it for buttons and that worked but then the x button didnt work. btw the game is hard truck 18 wheels of steel. i know it sucks but it is the only game i could find last night.
@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.
@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.
If you don't use a static connection? Also does it matter where the Sockettest and the drivers go?
I have the exact same question, and how do I check if im using a static connection?
Very nice app, tested it with Fifa wold cup 2006 on PC , very nice nice ;D
hope a fix is comin out, because its diconnectin after 3 min or so....

Please add Ad-Hoc Support on the next release
how do i find my ip i tryed ipconfig and that doesnt work please help ty
the ipconfig has to work. don't be stupid.
and @ the developer, you should make a reconnection after sleep mode. I hate to leave the psp on when doing other stuff. I wouldn't want to exit and come back in.
good job ;) thx
i used this today for the first time and at last i can play all my old roms proporly on my comp...thanks to the dav for this...nice one...!!!

I'll add that in in the next version. But you can basically sleep it now. When you resume it from sleep, the wifi connection will be dead... but you can just turn the wlan switch off and then back on and it will reconnect and work again. :) Thanks.
Wow. Thanks for the advice with the wlan switch, i never knew. Keep up the good work and don't listen to the people who try to bash you.

Socket test and setup work, buttons don't respond.
Anybody receiving this error:
"sceNetpctlConne ct returns 80110601"
SET UP YOUR NETWORK CONNECTION on your 1.5 XMB
I had no connections set up on my 1.5 becuz I'm always using the devhook for everything.
Hence the error.
hope that helps.
"Socket test and setup work, buttons don't respond."
I have the same problem....so I just ordered a USB controller :)
Same problem!
Whats causing this!!!
/cry
"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."
WOW you're an idiot.
Nice one. You didn't even have anything to come back with. You fail.
i had it all set up and working.. i was playing need for speed most wanted with it.. but the X and o buttons were reversed.. (o was fir accelerate, and x was for e brake..) so i went into the button mapping thing again and swapped those two and then it stopped working completely.. so i uninstalled the controller and reinstalled it the same way i did before to get it working.. and still nothing.. w t h..
i changed my buttons allitle so triangle works and everything else works. i set it for 2 axis. 9 buttons, and 1 pov, the set
axis 1 to x axis
axis 2 to y axis
x axis to anolog 0
y axis to anolog 1
button 1 nothing
button 2 digital 0
button 3 digital 1
b4 d2
b5 d3
b6 d4
b7 d5
b8 d11
b9 d10
north d6
east d7
west d9
south d8
and then it should work
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.
i put v0.3 up at http://www.imk.cx/psp/
nothing really new as far as fixes or anything... some better implementation of stuff, code cleanup, more detailed instructions... hopefully it will get more people on the right track to getting it working
Fixed open/close Stockettest than hit another 80110601 on PSP.. Now everything is fixed but Windows nothing responding under 'Game Controllers'. On the PSP wireless light always flashing. This time google wont help.. Please help...
WHAT THE HELL!!!!!!!!!!! WHY WONT SOCKET TEST STAY OPEN!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !
Well this thing took a while for me to get running, but when it is working, it's great. I use it with MUGEN, and it seems pretty responsive. I just wished that I can use the D pad for MUGEN, but the stick will do I guess.
