PSP-PDA v1.3 with IR keyboard support !

[zx-81]

One last question. Where's the best/safest place to get 3.40-OE and psp-pda? Thanks.

I suggest you to find a 3.50 -> 1.5 downgrader ready to use zip package with all required files (~ 13.3 Mb) there are many on the internet.

For the 3.40-OE installer, you will also find ready to use zip package (~ 17.4Mb)

DCEmu (here) is a good place to download them. There's also other sites but I'd probably be frowned upon if I mentioned them here (particularly one of them).

So, to do what you want (use an IR Keyboard for emailing on Gmail on your PSP), you'll need to downgrade with the 3.50 downgrader that zx-81 showed you (I'm not sure if you've already done this). Then upgrade to 3.40 OE-A (or I might suggest 3.51 M33 because that is actually the latest firmware and it's hacked to have homebrew support, so if you want to be on the latest Sony firmware and have the latest Sony features like you mentioned, 3.51 M33 might be for you). Then install zx-81's mod of PSPoste which is v6.1 (I don't know if it's on the PSPoste website since zx-81 is the one who added the IR keyboard support). Then lastly get an IR keyboard if you don't already have one (the reccomended one is the Targus Universal Wireless IR Keyboard). Once you've done all that, then you should be able to email away with a keyboard on your PSP using Gmail

Zx-81 is there any chance of you fixing the inability of psp-pda to launch eboots?It was supposed to be able to do that but it never worked,it would save a little time not having to go into another program to launch an eboot.

Thanks again for your help. It amazes me how much you can do with a device that sells for 1/10 of many UMPC's. Sure, you can't do spreadsheets, but it really seems to be the ultimate thin client.

Well, now it can do spreadsheets !

Great app!
But again, one last question. When you mean "IR Keyboard Support" do you mean the ability to use the keys of the IR_keyboard to type letters and numbers or just the ability to use the keys as a substitute for the Square, Triangle, Cross, Circle ... etc.. buttons?
Because in my case, the keyboard is just a substitute of the Cross, Triangle, etc... button. I would be great if we could make it so that the keyboard prints a, b, c etc.. on the screen.

Again, thanks for your work!

Never mind: Problem solved.

The problem was: I had Pikey installed and it launched itself automatically when I was running homebrew thus rendering the keyboard a direct substitute of the PSP keys. What needs to be done to fix it is to disable Pikey. Don't do this solely via the Recovery menu. Do so by holding the "SELECT" button when launching the Hombrew app :P
Great WORK Zx-81!!
Maybe it will be wiser if you were to put this little "SELECT THING FOR PieKey" in the Readme.txt file.

again, thanks! Keep it up!

Yes you're right i will add it in future release (if there is any).

I posted this somewhere else, but I think it would be more appropriate to post in this topic as this is the program I want to run.

ATM I have no interest in using the keyboard outside of this office suite, maybe the web but probably not as the psp's browser doesn't let access my online classes or emails, not mention VPN's.

Anyone interested in complaining about getting a prx utility to create keyboard ini's?

I could make one for palm pilots, or IR enabled PC computers with VB.net I think if I spent some time looking at the format of the ini's and matching the call code for the keyboard, unfortunately I don't see that as being possible because the ini's don't ask for a key code, and even if they did there is no telling if they would be the exact same (101 key as compared to 151 key standards (just an example))

Ultimately I think the best use for a program to profile any IR keyboard for the PSP would have to be a psp based prx or pbp utility to walk through all 102 standard buttons (it should only take 5 minutes tops to go through them all).

The only snag would be if your IR device is acceptable (i.e. no IRDA support (yet?), and of course no RF support ever, no USB support ever, but serial cables are a possibility, but I heard it had to be connected to a computer which would come close to negating any usefulness).

There are cheap keyboards out there so take a gamble, if you get a bad that doesn't work for the PSP just sell it anyone with a PDA, or some other such device, or keep it as a wireless keyboard for your computer, or pawn it for some guitar strings.
