Using PSP as computer Joystick and then controlling your computer with the PSP

You can do many cool things with PSP homebrew, and in this instructable I cam going to teach you how to use your PSP as a joystick for playing games, but there is also a program that allows you to use your joystick as your mouse.
Here are the materials needed for this instructable:

EDIT: I made this instructable in December of 2006. At the time, 2.8 was the highest firmware that could be downgraded. Check PSPupdates.com to see the latest version that is able to be downgraded.

A PSP that can have homebrew on it. ( 2.80 or lower firmware)
A wireless router or wireless access point that is already configured on your PSP via infrastructure mode.
The PSP Wifi controller homebrew application
PPJoy
Total Game Control

All of the above are direct links to the download. Here are the websites for those three programs.

Step 1 Installing Wifi Controller on your PSP

After you have downloaded Wifi Controller, now it is time to install and configure it. First, we need to find your IP address. For this, go to Start-> Run, and type in cmd. Then when command prompt comes up, type in ipconfig. Copy down the IP address. After this, open the Wificontroller zip folder. Extract it to somewhere where you know it is. Then copy the PSP folder (inside 1.0 or 1.5 folder) to the root of your PSP. If you have firmware 1.5, install the 1.5 PSP folder, and if you have 1.00 or 1.51+, install the 1.0 PSP folder. Then open the PSP folder, then Game, then wifi controller on your PSP. After this, click on wifi.cfg and edit it with notepad. Replace "192.168.0.10" with the IP address you copied earlier.

[rkumar8]

is it possible in PSP 6.20 PRO-B5 ?

[Nightfalll]

Ok i made all the steps but when I copied the psp file from 1.5 and i paste it on my GAME 150 on my psp it says ''corrupted data'' and I cannot open it ,any ideas what should i do or not to do :D

[Mudbud]

hey this is an old 'ible but I was wondering If this will work on my psp 3k 6.20 OFW? I have HBL so I can enable homebrew....

[robotix]

ugh! this is so annoying! all the instructions are for xp or 2000, i can't figure out a thing on my new vista!

[nateh202]

Whats wrong. And the IP address you need is the one from your router/modem. Not your actual IP address.

[robotix]

It won't work with vista. The ppjoy can't be added as new hardware.

[ReCreate]

well...it worked in Windows 7,Which is like vista. You must be doing something wrong

[robotix]

It doesn't matter now. We returned our Vista and got a much better XP for a much better price. And I had a psp 3000 anyway but that doesn't matter either cuz my dog ate it.

[ReCreate]

Your dog ate your psp? Its time you eat your dog....Are you Chinese? :P

[robotix]

lol no. and he just cracked the screen and a few buttons. I suppose I could just get a replacement screen. After it happened i was playing spiderman with just sound, so everything else works.

[gb123]

heh! i own a dog and he is "afraid" of my psp for some reason... and my bro has broken his psp screen 8 TIMES!

[robotix]

lucky. he's not afraid of anything, even the vacuum. and 8 time? that's a lot. does he just keep getting new ones?

[CheatsIP5]

Exactly Why I Dont Own A Dog Lol

[ReCreate]

Hi, can anyone PLEASE help me?????? Everything works fine untill I run the app on my PSP. It finds my internet and configures it, but then it said this :

WiFiController: Connecting to Access Point.
Connection state 0 of 4: Idle.
Connection state 2 of 4: Starting up.
Connection state 6 of 4: Idle.

What now????

[xMIKEABx]

[jasaguayo]

[dashman94]

Is it possible to do this with a DS lite????

[CheatsIP5]

Nooob

[ReCreate]

DS lite???? HAHAHAHAHA

[foxtrot4697]

lol

[ReCreate]

yeah XP

[nateh202]

I'm sure its possible, but I'm not sure if there is something out there for it.
Well heres just the thing. It controls the computer via VNC and you can actually see the computer screen on the DS. Im sure there will be a slight delay between your DS movements and the actual computer movements (like windows remote control).

mine is wificontroller: connecting .... connection state 1 of 4 connection state 2 of 4 do you need internet connection for connect pc??? or you just need pc with a wifi...i cannot connect with my pc..

[fjeena]

hey... i have a slight problem i hope some1 can help me out... im currently running v5.00 m33-6 cfw on my psp slim.. i followed all the steps carefully, but when i try to run the wifi controller on my psp it just says 8002014C error, "The game could not be started" can any1 help me out? i even disabled all the plugins and tried changing the kernel to 1.5... please people im a real newbie and i would really like to get this thing working... thanx

[salavong]

I got to testing it, but it seems that my PSP isn't sending anything to my PC. Or it could be that my CFW doesn't work with this? I did put it in the GAME150 folder.

[Devildice95]

Please i just have a Question everytime i click Mapping it said " Cannot Read Mappings from joystick please i really need your help.

[salavong]

Did Windows detect a new hardware? Because when I got to this step, I didn't have PPJoy Virtual joystick 1, so I had to make it myself. Once I did, Windows detected it and I tried to click on Mapping, but it gave me the same error so I let Windows install the driver first. After that, I clicked on Mapping and it works fine.

[nateh202]

Hmm.. is it recognizing the PSP?

[intheroom]

It works on PSP 2000 with FW 5.03. Though, for that I had to arrange somethings for myself, things that weren't written here. Like for an example running the file WiFi Controller inside the PC folder.
