Is the lack of updates, just because the donation page is down? No!

I have been distracted by another non emulator project, it was meant to take a couple of months to do, but me I kept wanting to improve it so it has taken longer then I originally expected. Now I am in the process of changing jobs. I am going to be doing a short term contact job. It might be a little while before I get back in to developing pj64. I have a have a list of things I want to do with project64. I hope I will be able to give pj64 some good attention in 2-3 months time, put it might be another 6 months.

I have been distracted by work and other projects before. This is one of the main reasons we are doing the beta program the way we are. This way we can release parts and not a complete version when we work on them. I hope when this contract is done I can spend a decent amount of time on this project getting it to run a lot better. I have been on this project on/off again for nearly 10 years. I want to get it to a point where I can say it is done someday.

hi peeps ive managed to set Extreme link 1.5.5 /usb Host/IR 3.6 To allow me to use my Xbox 360 Wireless joypad To Play games on the psp ive got a wireless reciver for pc to use all my 360 wireless accessories on it so i thought they had to be a way to use the IR shell to use wireless gamepad instead of a wired one

was a bit tricky holding cam and using the 360 pad lol but anyways its all fun
i was playing Medievil Resurrection in the vid
good work on the new extreme 1.5.5
thanks again
jay

Update you can just use usbhostfs_PC_Win_1.5at and IR shell 3.6 providing you got a 360 pc receiver

Run configure_joypad.exe in usbhostfs_PC_Win_1.5at
Config your Wireless joypad then save it in the same folder as usbhosts
Then run usbhostfs_PC_Win_1.5at
Then run and link IR shell to pc via usbhost
when connected
Your joypad should work a treat

Also drop your iso folder with ur games in the same folder as usbhosts or visa-versa then select directory view in ir shell then usbhost0:/
all your games be there ready to play with your wireless pad
