WiFi Controller v0.3 for PSP Released |
Listed in: Homebrew Applications, Wi-Fi Tags: battery, David Rudie, joysticks, Mac OS X, Mikko Monroe, PPJoy, psp homebrews

Developed by David Rudie, the WiFi Controller was inspired by an earlier program called PPjoy written by Mikko Monroe. PPJoy had a few kinks and David wanted a more detailed application, so he wrote WiFi Controller from scratch and used a small portion of PPJoy codes. David thanks Mikko for that.
If you already have David's app, he just released the latest update WiFi Controller v0.3 and here's the changelog:
- Cleaned up and added more detailed instructions
- Fixed up on-screen display some
- Added some more detailed battery information
- Cleaned up the connection code some
- Moved some text strings to a new file
- Cleaned up code overall
- Finish Apple Mac OS X driver support
- Add WiFi connection selection
- Add AdHoc mode
- Add Greater sleep support and maybe automatically re-establish the wireless connection
- Add support for using a combination of buttons to act as one separate button
- Volume up and down mappable for v1.0 and v1.5 and a separate version without these buttons for v2.x
- Check why people get disconnected after so-and-so minutes.
WiFi Controller v0.3 uses the first infrastructure connection in your network connection list. David said he wrote the program for v1.00 and v1.50 but unconfirmed reports have it that it works for v2.60. But that's unconfirmed.
Installation:
"These steps are all necessary and you should pay close attention to them," says David.
1. 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. If you don't know your IP address. Go to your "Start" menu. Click on "Run..." When the box opens up type "cmd.exe" without the quotes. When the command prompt opens type "ipconfig" without the quotes. It will report your IP address.
2. Copy the correct director(y|ies) to your PSP depending on whether you have a v1.00 or v1.50 PSP. If you use a custom firmware mod that allows the use of a single EBOOT.PBP files on a v1.50 PSP then you can use the v1.00 directory.
3. Download and install PPJoy.
4. After it is installed open up your "Control Panel" and click on "Parallel Port Joysticks".
5. When the window comes up click "Add..." at the bottom. On the next screen change "Parallel port" to "Virtual joysticks"and then click "Add."
6. It will want to install some drivers so either have it scan automatically or point it to the directory you installed PPJoy to.
7. After it is done installing, click the "PPJoy Virtual joystick 1" in the menu and click "Mapping..."
8. Choose "Set a custom mapping for this controller" and click "Next."
9. Set these options for best results.
Axes = 2 (X Axis and Y Axis)
Buttons = 9
POV hats = 1
10. X Axis = Analog 0
Y Axis = Analog 1
11. These buttons are up to you to set. You should leave "Button 1" set to "nothing" otherwise you may have problems using the Triangle button on your PSP later.
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
12. Directional button POV
North = Digital 6
East = Digital 7
West = Digital 9
South = Digital 8
13. Run the SocketText.exe program. It will open a Command Prompt window. Just minimize it. You need to have SocketText.exe running at all times in order to use the PSP as a joystick. When you are done using it you can safely exit the program. If the window opens and closes then something went wrong beyond my control. All I can say is retry all the steps. Read PPJoy's website as well for help in getting that setup because that is most likely where the problem lies.
14. Now start the program on your PSP and it should connect to your computer and basically be working. You'll find out in the next step.
15. Go back to your Control Panel and go to Game Controllers. Click on "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.
16. Enjoy!

It allows you to use your PSP as a controller for your PC!!
P.S. I think you need to re-check what ad-hoc means yourself. ;) Not what it's generally used for, but what it actually means!

@6) Someone had reported that v0.2 worked on a v2.60 PSP. You might be able to use devhook to load up a 2.60 firmware and then use the GTA exploit to run it in 2.60. Then you could use it with WPA-TSK. That's a lot of work though. ;)

A lot of people have asks for USB support for these joystick programs, but there is not much feedback from the coders. Is the USB side just tough to do?
Anyway...love the program. Anything you do to make it better is appreciated.

23) I'm not going to try to make you feel dumb because you already did that to yourself, but... how can you NOT see the v0.4 download link? It's right above the v0.3 link. As for USB... I have answered it in the past. My answer was that I was not going to write anything to work over USB. It hasn't changed.
24) I already gave him a solution. :)
