Let’s say, for example, that your PSP’s screen is broken but you still want to play games with it. What are you going to do? Buy a new one? Maybe in the past that’s what we’re going to do but this application has the potential to change all that.
Homebrew developer DeMoN X passed by QJ.Net PSP forums today and released Remotejoy GUI v1. Just like we said, this application lets users display the PSP screen on the computer making it possible to run games even in full screen.
Basically, the program uses plugins “psplink.prx” and “remotejoy.prx” via the Recovery Menu. Then certain .bat files can be called to view games in a window or full screen, and another for both with FPS display.
DeMoN X said that this is an initial release and as such, you might encounter some problems especially when you have other .prx files running. Also, the coder mentioned that not all games are compatible with Remotejoy GUI so you might have to do some trial and error.
Remotejoy GUI v1 should be used on custom firmware 3.40 OE-A only. You will also be needing Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 with this. The developer thinks that it might run on earlier custom firmwares but they haven’t been tested as of yet.
Please take note as well that your PSP will lock up if a game uses a certain call to load files or directories off the memory stick that is incompatible with PSPLink.

Download: Microsoft .Net Framework 2.0

Homebrew on PSP Slim via 3.60 M33 Custom Firmware
The M33 team has done it again. The PSP Slim can now run M33’s 3.60 custom firmware. The new firmware has “all the features of 3.52 M33, except the 1.50 kernel support”. This means that some homebrew that was developed specifically for 1.50 (e.g. homebrew games that would go into the GAME150 folder) will not work with the custom firmware.
The installation is complex, requiring a Pandora Battery and Pandora memory stick, a non-Slim PSP with firmware 1.50 or custom firmware that supports 1.50 kernel, and of course, a PSP-2000. As always, this is not for the faint of heart nor anyone who hates carefully reading and following instructions, as there is always a possibility of bricking your brand new PSP-2000. As such, use at your own risk. Full instructions for the installation can be found here.
Download M33’s custom 3.60 firmware here (scroll down to the bottom of the first post).

PSPe 0.7 - Play PSP Games on Your PC
PSPe 0.7 (The 1st PSP Emulator for PC)
| 1st PSP Emulator for the PC. Performance of the emulator is a little bit sluggish considering its on very early stage of development. Only homebrew apps runs. Not commercial roms/isoz.
INSTRUCTION : C:\PSP\ms0\PSP\GAME\[appfolder] Then run the emulator .exe. If you have no apps the \GAME\ folder emulator would just hang on startup. They keys for the emulator are : Games we tested : |

PSP Hacking Episode 6 - Return of the Homebrew
Fake your Firmware
Change your wallpaper
Remote Control your PC
It’s been a while since I’ve played with my PSP. Recently I got my hands on the Sony Location Free Base station and decided to try out the LF Player on the PSP. To do this I needed to upgrade my PSP’s firmware, but I did not want to lose my homebrew, otherwise all of my LUA apps, and other software would stop working. I’ve decided to figure out how to use DevHook to emulate a new firmware, and while I was expecting a long and complicated process, it was actually really simple to do on my PSP.
This is due to the hard work of a lot of developers, and I applaud their efforts for making it to this point. A user on PSPUpdates has posted a simple tutorial detailing the process. What it does is pretty slick… You need to download 3 things. The normal PSP Update PBP, DevHook, and a script that will extract the update file and make it usable in DevHook. In less than 5 minutes I was running an emulated PSP Firmware 3.01.
I was able to get the locationfree base station streaming to the PSP after manually linking the two using Sony’s Setup mode button. When the base station is streaming to the PSP, the LF LCDTV just goes black. No message is displayed to let you know what’s happening and why the video signal has been lost. Apparently you can only stream to one device at a time. Pretty Lame.
The video quality to the PSP wasn’t great, watchable, but not for a long period of time. The sound wasn’t very good, but I think that was because the sound on my cable box was too low. I cranked the PSP to it’s max volume and it was not loud and sounded very tinny.
Bottom line, the LCDTV + Sony base station works great, but the PSP player is not very useful, and the 1 stream limit needs to be increased, I’m not sure if slingbox has the same limitations, but I think I’m going to give that a shot next.
Also, you may want to take a look at PMP, which will allow you to stream media from your PC to your PSP. It works quite well, and the video quality is not bad. They have just released version 1.02 which includes even more GUI improvements and lots more. This is a much better streaming solution for your media.

PSP Blender - Play ripped PS1 games on PSP
Tired of waiting for Sony to release your favorite classic PlayStation game for PlayStation Portable playback through the PlayStation 3’s Playstation store? Well you can now play a ripped copy of any PlayStation disc on the PSP.
PSP users that upgrade to the Dark Alex’s Open Edition firmware 3.02-B can play ISOs ripped off of PlayStation discs right from a MemoryStick. Commenters report that the emulation runs at full speed with perfect sound, but PAL games seem to have some graphical glitches. Still, a nice Christmas gift for the hacking/piracy community.
