I have not posted a psp new thread in a while now, I have not been really messing around with my PSP's lately because of the Wii but I srtill keep track of it and this caught my eye today. PSPdisp v0.1 is a nice app. made by Jochen Schleu that allows you to use your PSP as a extra PC monitor! Really cool huh? Even though the PSP screen is very small for something like display your PC but it is indeed a neat program. Check out the video below.

1. Installation
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Windows Application *
Just copy it to a folder anywhere on your hard drive.
* PSP Application *
Install it as any other homebrew software. Essentially you just copy the
"PSPDISP" folder to "ms0:/PSP/GAME/".
* USB driver *
Connect your PSP to the PC via the USB cable.
Start the "PSPdisp" game.
Windows will recognize the newly connected hardware. Point Windows to the
supplied USB driver. If you already have PSPlink installed, that
driver will be used.
* Display driver *
This depends on how your Windows is set up, basically you have to invoke
the "New Hardware Wizard", e.g. this way:
- Open the control panel. Click on "Printers and Other Hardware".
Click on "Add Hardware" in the pane on the left.
- In the wizard select the location of the PSPdisp display driver.
Windows will warn you that the driver is not signed, ignore that.
- When the installation is complete there should be an additional
graphics card in the device manager and an additional monitor in
the display settings dialog.
2. Sytem Requirements
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To use PSPdisp you will need
- a PC running Windows XP 32 bit
(it will not work on 64 bit versions or Vista, it may run under Windows 2000
but this is untested)
- a suitably fast processor, for comparison:
» 25 % CPU load on single core Pentium 4 3.06 Ghz
» 40 % CPU load on single core AMD Athlon 64 3200+ (2.2 Ghz)
It should be fine on any modern PC.
- a PSP running a custom firmware above 3.71
3. Compiling the source
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The whole project needs three different compilers / IDEs, fortunately all of
them are available for free on the net.
Note that the setup process for them will take a while and is rather involved.
The display driver needs the Microsoft WDK (Windows Driver Kit).
Building the Windows application requires Borland Turbo Delphi.
The PSPSDK (PSP toolchain) is needed for compiling the Playstation
Portable application. I use the PSPSDK for Windows.
