PC2PSP RC-1 changelog

Sanguinus' explanation for his new release of PC2PSP is kind of funny when you imagine it as the opening Star Wars montage. Still, this new release defnitely deserves some praise, if only because he coded it from scratch.

If you remember our previous descriptions of this app, PC2PSP RC-1 (or MK-B, depending on what you're reading) will basically allow you to view and control your PC using your PSP, either wirelessly or through a USB cable... a VERY long USB cable, if you intend to go to another room. The recoding increased the stability, speed, and compatibility of the application, and even works with the Danzeff keyboard system now.

Sanguinus also expects a new release in the next few days, which should add more fixes to his program, as well as a speed boost. For now, don't hesitate to give him props for recoding his app, and offer him your votes of confidence over our forums. Just remember to check the readme if you're planning on using this app, so you don't accidentally mess the installation up, alright? Enjoy!

This just in from sanguinus, the developer of PC2PSP. PC2PSP (formerly known as the Lua PC Remote Viewer) takes screenshots from your PC and sends them through Usbhostfs or Nethostfs (untested yet) to your PSP and updates them about twice a second.

Last we posted, sanguinus added a mouse control but that version appeared to have some bugs.Some users reported having a problem with a missing OCX control so that has been added to PC2PSP v0.82. Also, he did some fixes to make it run a bit faster.
The speed can be adjusted by changing the line:

screen.waitVblankStart(10 )

By decreasing 10 it goes faster but it will also reduce stability. If you want to go for stability opt for less screen update.

If you're still experiencing kinks, sanguinus added the the following troubleshooting tips:

• Make sure the exe is in the folder with the Lua script and the pictures.
• Make sure exe is running
• Set pictures to read only

To install PC2PSP v0.82, unzip the download file into the folder which your PSP sees when you go into net/usb hostfs. Start usb/net hostfs the run the exe in the luaplayer/applications/screenshot/ folder. This sends the pics and acts as a PSP visible mouse. Okay you probably know this by now but go ahead and read the readme file.

The Lua PC Remote Viewer which we reported on earlier today has been hung out to dry as the developer sanguinas has released a new version of the application which lets you control your PC with your PSP and named it 'PC2PSP', which we think you'll agree is a much snazzier title. Why? That's because this update to PC2PSP v0.8 is a major update, making to program much snazzier by adding mouse control. Previously you could only look at your PC and surely that being able to actually move your mouse is much more useful! Here's how the mouse control (not to be confused with mind control) works:

• Dpad Up --> Mouse Up
• Dpad Down --> Mouse Down
• Dpad Left --> Mouse Left
• Dpad Right --> Mouse Right
• Left Click --> Cross
• Exit PC app --> Circle

As well as being able to increase or decrease the refresh speed by changing the line "screen.waitVblankStart(10 )" which will make it go faster decreasing and reduce stability by increasing, Sanguinas has included a config file so that you can control the mouse speed. This is the final version unless a big bugs is found or if many people request a new feature so make sure you get this application if you like the idea of remote control.
