PspIrda


Mat17 stopped by our forums recently and shared to us his homebrew application, PspIrda 0.0.1. From the name of the app itself, you may already have an idea as to what this is for. Basically, PspIrda is a file transfer program which will let you transfer files between your PSP, cell phone, Palm, PC and other compatible devices. This looks like a first release, so play nice you guys.

According to him, the Irda stack used in this program isn't from him, but from an anonymous author who wishes not to promote his work. But still, Mat17 extends his thanks to him.

Anyhow, the app has its share of shortcomings. For now, the only working configurations are file transfers between the PSP and a Nokia 6131. The other configurations (PSP-PSP, PSP-PC, PSP-cell phones, Palm-PSP, etc) are yet to be tested, so your feedback would help a lot. On our side, we tried it with a Nokia 6233 and too bad for us, it didn't work, but hey that's just us. The dev also divulged that the main problem with this release is the transfer speed. According to him, "it's slow, really slow; the speed is 9600pbs."

Also, the GUI isn't exactly to die for, but he said that his objective in creating this app was to release something functional to test it with other devices. With that, the download link is right down there. Mat17 included a debug version which has a debug.log containing the data exchanged between the two devices. View this release as a diamond in the rough and hopefully, it wouldn't take so long for this app to be one sparkling bling.

Works on PDA!

Hey All (sent the creator an e-mail on this already btw)! Tested this on my IPAQ 3115rx. It sent a small file (66bytes), but only sent a tiny portion of a larger file (124kb) before failing. Regardless, it will communicate with PDAs - looking forward to the next release! --Databoy2k

Some updates

Thank you for your comments. To JohnnyMcKinney : if it's a simple "hello world" program, it's a magic one to have so much PSP talk with phones, laptops, etc! the problem is I'm not Gandalf... Don't forget to send the debug.log if it doesn't work (read instructions in the zip) MaT

Test Report

I was able to send a TINY amount of information from my psp to my Nokia 3200. My phone was also able to send the same file back without error. When I say tiny, I mean tiny (Like 26 bytes). If I try to send a ringtone or crappy phone pic, it won't work.

Debug

Try with the debug version with a big file and send me the debug.log created in the psp/game/pspirda directory. MaT

PSP-6230 Works!

I can tell you that PSP-Nokia 6230 works, but very, very slowly (5 minutes for 68,8 kb, a photo form phone to PSP). I was able to send a photo from my 6230 to my PSP, and send a picture of a savegame back to the 6230 form the PSP. But it's very, very slow. If you can speed it up, i'd been in heaven
