Using your PSP to control XBMC

 

 

 

 

Using your PSP to control XBMC
And here we go! The PSP has just found its latest trick. Besides being a handheld gaming console which also doubles as a camera, a GPS device, a portable media player, an image viewer and so many others that we can't even recall right now, the PSP can also function as a wireless remote control. On another system.

As shown in this video uploaded by LotoBak, the PSP is shown going through the Xbox Media Center via a WiFi connection. The whole experiment was only put to a halt, just because the WiFi gave out. Pretty nifty, huh? (Though one has to admit that it's still an expensive alternative for a peripheral, unlike the mania with the Wii which currently has people replacing the sensor bar with random objects like candles or flashlights... but to each his own, I suppose...)

However, before we all start running for the living room to try it out ourselves, a few disclaimers first, as quoted from the XBMC Wikipedia entry:

Although XBMC is licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL), it is written for use with Microsoft's XDK and so is not legally available as an executable program to non-official Microsoft game-publishers. Users are encouraged to compile their own binaries from the public CVS repository using the XDK, rather than downloading a questionable illegally released executable. XBMC's full source code is however legal 'as is' and is available on SourceForge.


Got that? Good. Now, enjoy!

could this please be updated to run on a new kernel as currently, it uses the 1.50, which means that it can only support WEP wireless security, and not WPA or anything newer
