WiFiController v0.2

[wraggster]

David Rudie has released Wifi Controller for the PSP, heres the release notes:

A little about this first...
Mikko Monone wrote the original controller program for the PSP and the server for the PC. After using his program on the PSP it seemed it was missing some things. The start button exited the program and select didn't work. It had a display for the buttons you would press, and while it was functional, I like a little more detail to be displayed. I then wrote my own controller from scratch and only borrowed a small portion of his code (the packet creation). Here is a link ( http://forums.ps2dev.org/viewtopic.php?t=4197 ) to the thread
that started this all in a way for me.

What this does...
This basically turns your PSP into a controller for your PC (running Windows).

I'm going to attempt to explain how to get this working.

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.
2) Copy the correct director(y|ies) to your PSP depending on whether you have a 1.0 or 1.5 PSP. If you use a custom firmware mod that allows the use of single EBOOT.PBP files on a 1.5 PSP then you can use the 1.0 directory.
3) Download and install PPJoy.

4) After it is installed open up your Control Panel and run Parallel Port Joysticks.
5) When the window comes up click Add... at the bottom and then Add on the next screen.
6) It will want to install some drivers so either have it scan automatically or point it to the directory you install 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) Axes = 2 (X Axis and Y Axis)
Buttons = 8
POV hats = 1
10) X Axis = Analog 0
Y Axis = Analog 1
11) These buttons are up to you to set. I left them all default but changed Button 7 and Button 8 to be correct because they ARE WRONG default.
Button 1 = Digital 0
Button 2 = Digital 1
Button 3 = Digital 2
Button 4 = Digital 3
Button 5 = Digital 4
Button 6 = Digital 5
Button 7 = Digital 11
Button 8 = 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 and forget about it. If it just opens and closes, something went wrong. Good luck.
14) Now start the program no 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 the 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!

This looks very cool.....i hope it'll work on a lap top computer!

If anyone has gotten this working, please help, the "SocketTest.exe" does not extract and won't run from the zip file......

Works GREAT! I love it! Tossed out my ancient gamepad now that I have this. Works like a charm.

I've been looking for this for a while but most places where people asked the responce was that it was a silly or stupid request.

You da man

EDIT:

If you want to swap the DPAD and the mini-Joystick on the PSP change your settings as such -

X Axis
---------
Min: Digital 9
Max: Digital 7

Y Axis
---------
Min: Digital 6
Max: Digital 8

POV Hat 1
-------------
North: Analog 1 min
East: Analog 0 max
West: Analog 0 min
South: Analog 1 max

This is better for emulators I've found (Gens, Visual Boy Advance, Snes9x etc) if you like the classic feel. I live in the past, so sue me.
