PSP homebrew - Turn your PSP into a PC status monitor

If you happen to have an extra PSP lying around, here's something you can do with it: turn it into an extra monitor. Well, a status monitor for your PC, at least.

To be clear, this app from developer avi doesn't actually turn your psp into a secondary monitor. All it does is output your PC's status (CPU usage, CPU temp, etc.) onto the PSP screen. Still pretty cool if you have a PSP that you don't use anymore.

The PSP app itself is in Lua. The computer-side app is written in Python. Both are included in the download below.

Python

It's a Python app. It will work on Windows if you install Python. Please try not to spread misinformation...
