WiFiController v0.4.3 Released!

***wraggster*** · May 11th, 2007, 20:26

News/release from David Rudie

I have released v0.4.3 a little earlier than I expected. It just took some time to sit down and think out a really simple solution. To my surprise, the server already had support for specifying a port and device. I guess I had overlooked this before. WiFiController is now taking advantage of this.

WHAT THIS IS AND WHAT THIS DOES
This basically turns your Sony PSP into a controller for your PC (running Microsoft Windows). How it works is that PPJoy provides a way to create a virtual joystick. We can then communicate with this virtual joystick as though it were a real joystick. This is accomplished by running a server in Microsoft Windows. The server just runs in the background waiting for a connection. When you start the WiFiController program on your Sony PSP it will establish a network connection over wireless using infrastructure mode. Once it establishes a connection and obtains an IP address it will connect to the server running on your PC. Once it has connected to your PC it will act just like a regular joystick.

CHANGES

v0.4.3
Renamed WiFiController.exe to WiFiServer.exe so it won't be confused for the actual PSP application itself.
Added the ability to act as up to 4 separate controllers.
Extended the life of some messages by 1 second. (This isn't in the CHANGES file itself.)

Uff,nice. I've always wanted to control my PC with the PSP. To play videogames with the PSP's control system. I've used many applications like this,but I haven't got any to work yet,I hope I get this one to work,I'll give it a try.

I thought previous versions were great, if a bit boring to look at.
Keep 'em coming.

I was never able to get the last release working. I know it was something with my configuration so I just gave up. Seeing new updates for this will probably make me try again. It would be very convenient to have the PSP as a wireless controller.

I've got everything set up and configured, but it stalls out at Connection stage 2 of 4. I can't find any troubleshoot that addresses this. Any advice?
