Apps.pbp.prxHuman-written

Install on your PSP

EBOOT: make a folder for it in /PSP/GAME/ on the Memory Stick, such as /PSP/GAME/MOONLIGHTPSP/, and copy EBOOT.PBP into it.

Start it from Game › Memory Stick. On a PSP Go without a Memory Stick, use /PSP/GAME/ on the internal storage.

Plugin: copy moonlight_me_helper.prx to /SEPLUGINS/ on the Memory Stick. On ARK-4 and ARK-5, add a line for it to /SEPLUGINS/PLUGINS.TXT:

game, ms0:/SEPLUGINS/moonlight_me_helper.prx, on

Use vsh instead of game for a plugin that runs in the XMB, or pops for PS1 games, as the release notes say.

Homebrew needs custom firmware such as ARK-5. New to PSP homebrew? Start here.

About Moonlight PSP

Streams games from your PC to the PSP. It finds hosts on the network, pairs with a PIN, shows your game library with box art and keeps up to 8 paired hosts. Video is decoded by the PSP's own H.264 hardware.

You need a PSP-1000, 2000 or 3000 with ARK-4 on 6.60 or 6.61, 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, and a PC running Sunshine or Apollo set to H.264. Copy EBOOT.PBP and moonlight_me_helper.prx into the same folder under ms0:/PSP/GAME/.

There are three presets. Balanced, the default, streams 360x204 at 20 fps with sound. Quality goes to the full 480x272 at 15 fps, and Performance drops to 300x170 at 30 fps with no sound. There are Xbox and Browser input modes, and button combos can be remapped.

The author says Wi-Fi is the main limit, and fast motion or small text can look soft or blocky.

Release notes

v1.5 · v1.5 - Hardware AVC + Audio + Reliable Controls Release · Oct 5, 2026

Highlights

  • Application Startup: Loads the bundled Media Engine helper on XMB launch and initializes hardware AVC. Initialization failures show a readable error code.
  • Sony Hardware AVC Decoding: H.264 streams use the PSP's AVC hardware, with automatic CAVLC/Baseline and CABAC/Main selection from the stream.
  • Video Presentation: Improved video receive, frame buffering, color range, cropping and presentation. Fast-moving details and small text can still appear soft or blocky within the PSP's display and Wi-Fi limits; see Known Issues.
  • Audio Playback: Corrected playback timing across silence, held audio and queue adjustments.
  • Reliable Controls: Improved keyboard, mouse wheel, button and controller delivery, with visible analog mapping hints and local HUD controls.
  • Stream Exit: Improved decoder reopening, stream teardown and application resource cleanup.
  • Balanced Default: New installations start at 360x204, 20 fps and 480 kbps with audio enabled. Quality remains native 480x272 at 15 fps; Performance uses 300x170 at 30 fps with audio disabled. Upgrades retain saved settings.

Installation

  1. Copy both files to ms0:/PSP/GAME/Moonlight/, or any custom folder under ms0:/PSP/GAME/.
  2. Both EBOOT.PBP and moonlight_me_helper.prx must be in the same directory.
  3. Requires custom firmware; ARK-4 on 6.60/6.61 is the supported target.
  4. Host must run Sunshine or Apollo, configured for H.264. Connect the PSP to 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi.
