Proof of built-in IR functionality???

I came across a few interesting things while sifting through some RCO files. As I looked through the icons of the 1.50 topmenu_plugin.rco file, I first noticed a Music Settings icon (wrench in circle next to music notes icon), which we all well know does not exist:

But what really caught my eye was this one...

Are you seeing what I am seeing? It looks like a PSP sending an IR signal to a TV. The two "transmission" line things seem to be coming right out of where the IR port is on the PSP. Not to mention, the MIG file is named "tex_cnf_remocon". Was the PSP really originally intended to control TVs?

I don't know about any of you, but I am using this as my LocationFree icon!

BTW, sorry if this is old news. No one told me!

I think ahman once said that the PSP has built in support for Sony TVs and stuff

Well, yeah...there is a "irda.prx" file in the PSP, but this shows that they actually tried to implement it as a built-in function.

I think the ir is for when you share photos and stuff. Then again, that might be adhoc, idk, i haven't done it in a while

adhoc is much better than ir for sending pics and stuff.

But that icon is clearly a PSP and a TV. It may have been for wifi though.

Interesting, with the slew of new custom XMBs it could be made functional, taking over a new non-used icon's space (such as RSS; at least in my case).

The OP meant officially, like from the XMB. The icons seem to indicate that the PSP may have had official functions to control other IR devices, at least by Sony.

With homebrew we can make use of IR all we want. But insofar we cannot do jack shit with IR from the XMB.

good find. these icons look exactly like the original icobns (in terms of professionalism and style). I wonder what Sony is up to with these new icons

They aren't new...I found them in an old 1.50 topmenu_plugin.rco...ever since, they have been removed.

Icons are icons and nothing else. Unless the application is built-in to 1.5, than no.
