PSPdisp v0.2

January 16th, 2009, 00:25 Posted By: wraggster

JJS has released a new version PSPdisp v0.2

This program package lets you use a Playstation Portable as an additional monitor under Windows.

Information:
So what is this about? Well, it basically gives you an additional monitor with a 960x544 resolution (four times the area of the PSP display). There are four components working together, on Windows a display driver, an usb driver and the interface application which captures the screen, compresses it and sends it over USB to the PSP. On the PSP side there is an application that decompresses the frames and displays them. All settings are adjustable from the Windows side, the PSP really only acts as a passive display.

Requirements:
PSP: Either slim or phat model running a custom firmware (reported working on 3.40-OEA, M33 version 3.52, 3.71, 3.90, 4.01, 5.00).

PC: Reasonably modern PC (Pentium 4 / Athlon64 or above, multi-core processor recommended) running Windows 2000, XP, Server 2003, Vista, Server 2008 in either 32 bit or 64 bit version. Note that there is no PSPdisp display driver available for Vista, but existing displays can be mirrored.

Installation:
Download the installer package below and execute it. The installer works for all supported platforms and will install the correct 32 bit or 64 bit drivers.
If you want to manually install the drivers, you can extract the setup files with an unzip tool (like 7zip).

Important! If you uninstall a previous version you have to restart the computer before starting the new setup. Otherwise the new display driver will be uninstalled on the next restart and you have to install it again!

Note that the usb and the display driver are not WHQL certified. Windows will present you with a security warning because of that.
