Hey I was just wondering how I could use my psp as a universal remote. I have looked all over the internet for homebrew apps that use the psp as a remote but nothing I found was universal. Thanks in advance for the help

the psp remote program works with most sony tv's as well as as a ps2 controller and other things.
i can confirm it works on all sony tv's ive tried, but it wont work on anything else

If wavs don't work on your firmware then try saving as an mp3. Also when it tells you to get a program for the sound recording stuff use audacity. its free and supports mp3's. dunno if soundforge does.

Did you know that the Sony remote works with all PS2's? If you have the PS2 Remote for DVDs, the IR receiver will accept the PSP's IR signal and you've got your wireless controller. Unfortunately, the PSP cannot send more than one IR signal at once and does not "hold" the signal, so you have to keep pressing the button to keep transmitting the signal.

As of right now, there are no homebrew universal remotes for the PSP, but there is a simple and easy way to use your PSP as a universal remote:

1. Grab your PSP.
2. Go to RadioShack.
3. Buy a remote control/wristwatch.
4. Wrap/tape it to your PSP.
5. Enjoy!
