PSP release: PspIrda

PSP release: PspIrda

November 29th, 2006, 15:20 Posted By: blackrave

Released today by mat17, PspIrda is a homebrew app which uses the PSPs IrDa port to transfer between the PSP, PDAs and cell phones.

The compatibility list isn't that big for now (doesn't work with my SE K300i), but hopefully mat17 will update this genius app. This first release was more a proof concept.
The speed is quite slow, and the GUI isn't to die for either, but this has great potentiality in my point of view.

Here's what the author said:

PspIrda is a Irda Obex file transfer program ie you can transfer files between your psp, your cell phone, your palm, your pc and all the devices compatible with this protocol.

The irda stack used in this program is not from me. Its author ask to not promote work derivate from his work with his name so you will only find it in the copyright file of the program. Thank you for your great work Mr ... !

This version 0.0.1 is a proof of concept.
I know the GUI is ugly but it wasn't the objective of this release.
The objective was to release something functional to test it with your devices and to have feedback on the compatibility.

The main problem of this release is the transfer speed. It's slow, really slow; the speed is 9600pbs. It's not a limitation of the technology which can go up to 115200bps but of the pspsdk which doesn't include any function to configure the speed of irda port of the PSP. The developers at ps2dev.org are doing an amazing job with the pspsdk and I'm sure they will find us a way to change this.

Working configurations:
PSP -> Nokia 6131
Nokia 6131 -> PSP

Configurations to test:
PSP -> PSP
PSP -> PC (windows, linux, ...)
PC -> PSP
Cell phones -> PSP
PSP -> Cell phones
PSP -> Palm
Palm -> PSP
everything you imagine!!!

I need your feedback! Give me the results of your tests and don't forget to indicate the exact configuration of the test.

If the test doesn't work, I've included a debug version which outputs a debug.log in the pspirda directory which contains the data exchanged between the 2 devices. You just have to try a transfer with this version and send me your file and the corresponding debug.log. Use a small file for the test (less than 1ko) or the log will be huge.

This program is released under a BSD license.
Compiled for firmware 1.5. Require OSLib (OSLib is only required if you want to compile it from the sources.
Otherwise just use it as any normal homebrew).
