PSP WOL (Wake-On-Lan) changelog

PSP Wake-On-Lan allows you to turn your Windows-based computer on for either a shut down or hibernation state

If you wanted to remotely turn on your PC to spook a friend out, now would probably be the best time to do it. EvilDooinz has created v2.0 of his PSP Wake-on-LAN application, a program that wakes up any networked PC in hibernation mode.

This time round, PSP WOL v2.0 has a small gui incorporated into it "to select your connection and choose what pc to remote start, or to start them all." With this new addition, you can store up to 15 different PCs to turn on.

More or less, we can imagine some interesting possibilities with this. Spook a friend on Halloween by visiting the computer lab late at night and setting up all the computers to freak him out. Turn on your computer every morning from your bed. There are more than a few uses, but it all depends on the number of computers you have, and whether or not you're willing to follow the readme included in the application

Homebrew coder EvilDooinz has just come up with an interesting application guys here may want to hear out, all the more if they own a Personal Computer (PC). The app is named PSP WOL, which is basically a Wake-on-LAN (WOL) application that allows your PSP to wake up a hibernating (networked) PC.

WOL, for the those wondering, is a PC option that allows the computer to be booted normally via remote link. This option is normally activated via the "Wake-on-LAN" setting on your PC's BIOS, although additional tweaking will be required in the Windows browser.

WOL works by reserving power for your PC's network card even after your PC is shut down. At this point, the network card is configured to receive a "Magic Packet" - a data bundle if you will - that's been broadcast for that PC's IP, which will then prompt the PC to boot up by remote; Imagine brainwashing somebody to wake up by a simple key word, and you get the idea. As a limitation EvilDooinz states that this PSP version is limited to waking PCs on hibernation or standby mode - it won't work on fully powered down units.

On its own, PSP WOL isn't really much, but combined with PSP-PC remote access homebrew applications like Foobar2000 Remote Interface, PSPFTPD, or PSP WiFile Transfer , and you can imagine the potential flexibility PSP WOL grants PSP and PC owners. Installation instructions and IP setup for computers running on Windows XP await in the file README, which should be available in the download just below you. Enjoy the download!
