RacerS has released PSP Gamepad for PC, heres the info:


*What is it?
Play games on your pc via psp and a wifi router.

*Notes
This is my first tool for psp.. so please don't be harsh on me. I saw that there was another tool that utilizes PPjoy, but if you don't fancy installing 3rd party drivers on your pc this is a good alternative. Unfortunately the analog stick isn't working yet.

I've also included all the sources for those who are interested. The windows application was coded with VB6. If you see an error about MSWINSCK.OCX I've put a copy in the src folder, move it to the same folder as the exe.

interesting stuff but I'm waiting for a joypad program that works over usb, stuck with dial-up so no point in a router, might get a wi-fi max tho

Im very impressed with this app!Since the source was included i'm guesing it would be ok if i modded the code a bit?and give the auther ALL the credit he deserves??i'm busy adding mouse support and letting the user choose the mapped buttons..if i may i will release the code or if not will enjoy it for my self:)

anyway back to coding and thanx for the grate app..

This app is absolutely sweet. I have been looking for this type of app for a while and knew that it was just a matter of time before it was a reality. It would be great if you could get usb support for those people that don't have routers and I think you need to increase the reaction speed a little bit. Thank you for the great program.

it works a bit better..but you need to install ppjoy(extra software).there is a boat load of stuff you need to configger..but if you are done you will have a sweet psp-gamepad....the only thing that is lackking is the fact that its only a gamecontroler.where as the app in this thread can be both that and a way to navigate windows(well at least when im done recoding the original app;))

I tried installig the other app and my cmd prompt just closes right away when I open the exe file. The guy said that something is wrong if you did that but never said what the problem could be.

Not realy the right thread to be talking about the other app but if your cmd window keeps closing it means that a incorect joystick is selected.The guys step 5 is a bit crappy..go to control panel open paralel port joysticks click add now instead of just clicking add again select virtual in the paralel port dropdown then follow the readme's steps.the socketTest cmd window will hopefully stay open now...

I keep getting an "error: no script file found. Press start to restart" error...

I have followed the instructions to the letter so much that I swear I have them memorized, and have re-installed everything multiple times, including the "REGSVR32 mswinsck.ocx" instructions. My psp's ip address is XXX.XXX.X.97, and my PC's is XXX.XXX.X.64, which I set the index file to reflect.

Little help? Much appreciated.
