Portable VNC changelog

PSP homebrew developer Zx-81 dropped by the QJ.NET Forums earlier to let us in on a new version he's got ready for Portable VNC - the application that allows PSP owners to access their PC via their portable console's Wi-Fi connectivity. The latest updates for the application's version 1.2.6 are designed to polish up the wireless keyboards support that Zx-81 had added to Portable VNC's previous version (v 1.2.5):

• Add new useful keys to the danzeff keyboard such as Win, Alt-tab, etc ...
• All keys of the virtual keyboard are now really working !
• (many keys were not usable in the previous version)
• Support more keys with the IR-keyboard

In case you're wondering who put this application's major components together, Harald Fielker was the original author of the PSP IR keyboard Library, while the Virtual Keyboard is based on the Danzel code. PSP VNC was originally written by NHD from TeamXos, and was based on the PalmOS VNC client.

Installation instructions and usage details should be available in the file bundle's readme. Or, you can also opt to visit Zx-81's release thread over at our QJ.Net Forums. There a three files for download: One for PSP firmware 1.5, custom firmwares 3.x, and PSP VNC v1.2.6's source codes.

ZX-81 is on a roll! Only minutes after giving us an update on TI-92 Calculator emulator PSPXTI, he's now bringing us a spanking hot version of Portable VNC, boosted to version 1.2.5. PSP application Portable VNC is very popular among long-time PSP homebrew users for allowing us to access our PC desktop via our PSP from any place using a Wi-Fi connection. Unfortunately for those stuck on the latest Sony PSP firmware and for those who chose to use lower firmwares, this version is only available for users of Dark Alex's custom firmwares.

Portable VNC includes IR keyboard support based on the work of Harald Fielker, the author of the PSP IR Keyboard Library. It also features the Danzeff virtual keyboard which in turn is based on the Danzel code. PSPVNC is based on the PalmOS VNC client and is from NHD from TeamXos. With that cleared, we now give you version 1.2.5's changelog straight from ZX-81:

• Real hostname are now supported in the configuration menu! It should be usefull if you want to connect to your PC from anywhere and if you have a dynamic IP. Of course you can still specify a static IP address
• IR Keyboard is now active in all menus
• New keyboard mapping (previous one was very confusing)
• Display help on keys to use for each menu

Again, we're reminding you that Portable VNC is being distributed under the GNU license. If you want to modify or add to the program, you can download the source code in the article. ZX-81's also warning us that the "host configurations file generated with previous versions are NOT compatible" with this release.

zx-81 has just updated Portable VNC. It seems he missed a couple of features in his previous release. And as always, it works on all firmwares (Barring 2.7 of course!)

Here's the small changelog:

• Modify wifi connection handler to work on 1.5FW
• Check wifi switch on startup

zx-81 has just updated Portable VNC to v1.2. Apart from a few changes, the major update is that it now works on Firmware 2.5!

Here's a small changelog of the new release:

• Compiled / Ported to latest version of PSPSDK
• Supports 2.XX Firmware
• Add Support for DHCP
• Bug fix (crash on exit) on FW 2.XX

I'll quote zx-81 here. "My contribution on this app is minor (only code rewritting to fit new interface of PSPSDK, and copy/paste wifi code from psp-ftpd).I just wanted it to work on my PSP 2.5."

NHD of Team Xboxopensource has just released PVNC v1.1 for the PSP. VNC stands for Virtual Network Computing. It is, in essence, a remote display system which allows you to view a computing 'desktop' environment not only on the machine where it is running, but from anywhere on the Internet and from a wide variety of machine architectures. There are several updates to this version of PVNC, and here they are:

• New encodings! Raw, Ultra, Solid, RRE, CoRRE now supported
• New graphics! Including Pochi Icon (remixed)
• WiFi connection list
• AutoScroll
• Extended GameMode
• Faster graphics
• More server compatibility (TightVNC 1.2.9 fastest tested)

Tested servers:

• TightVNC 1.2.9 = very fast
• UltraVNC = Not working (probably the new ultra encodings not quite right)
• WNC = Not working (uses modified rfb protocol)
• x11vnc = Works, but is slow.
