    psp PCMonitor Alpha (View PC CPU, RAM and Network Usage on your PSP) Alpha 3 Released

    News/release from darksaboteur:

    This project allows you to view your computers CPU, RAM and Network Usage on your PSP graphically.
    You are required to run a small server application on the PC which you wish to monitor, the PSP then connects to this over WiFi and displays the info.
    The server is written in VB6, while the PSP code is in C++

    Notes
    - Although the WiFi connection screen only uses the debug text the resource monitoring screen is graphical.
    - PSP is clocked down to 111Mhz when using the application to extend battery life.
    - Server only tested on Windows XP SP2 (may not work on anything below SP1 as some network usage monitoring code relies on it)
    - Requires 3.XX Kernel (Tested on 3.90 M33-2 only) so make sure it is in the GAME folder (if it is set to 3.XX kernel) or GAME3XX
    - Allows WPA WiFi Access

    Usage
    ! The IP Address of the server must be set in "wifi.cfg" (in the format address=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) NO SPACES!!!
    1. The "PCMonitor" folder must be copied to either the GAME folder (if it is set to 3.XX kernel) or the GAME3XX folder on the PSP
    2. To use this application the server (PCMonitor.exe, Located in the "PC Server" directory) MUST be running
    3. Open the application on the PSP and connect to the network
    Home will allow you to exit the application.

    Misc
    - If the PSP is no longer in the application and the server reads state Connected (7), then you will need to reset the server to use it again.
    - The PSP will ONLY connect in when the server is in state "Listening (2)"

    Known Bugs
    - If the PSP drops the connection (low signal, server reset, server closed, wifi switched off, etc.), it will not try to reconnect, it will just show a set of static values but the application may be exited by the home button still (This will be corrected in the next release)
    - If the IP Address is incorrect in the config ("wifi.cfg"), the application will just sit on a blank screen but the application may be exited by the home button still (This will be corrected in the next release)
