PSP Universal Remote

Posted by greg

Update: PSP Universal Remote v1.1 has been released, with a few bug fixes: download here


Massa84 has released one hell of a handy homebrew application for 1.50 users. Now you’re able to control thousands of electronic infra-red devices with the PSP Universal Remote.

PSP Universal Remote supports all devices currently listed at www.lirc.org.

Installation:
Simply extract the RAR archive (obtain a copy of Winrar at www.rarlabs.com) to the root of your memory stick, maintaining the directory structure/paths.

Usage:

  • Press ‘Square’ to list remotes
  • Press ‘X’ to select manufacturer
  • Press ‘X’ to select remote
    (the app will restart)
  • Press ‘O’ to see the command list
  • Press ‘X’ to select the command

Use ‘Triangle’ to exit - pressing ‘Home’ will cause your PSP to crash.

Download PSP Universal Remote v1.0

Please note I’ve only tested this homebrew app on 1.50 - later versions may/may not work, leave your feedback below.

    Works great. Hopefully on next version u can add a page down feature to select remote brand cause scrolling takes forever. Also, the ability to switch to a different remote once one has already been selected would be nice as well.
    Great start! Please continue to develop it.

     
    Comment by belly0fdesire
    2006-01-31 19:28:06

    It clearly states on the front page that is is for 1.5… If you have questions regarding any homebrew, you should post the questions in the Homebrew section of our forums and someone will help you within minutes. This is not a very convenient place to share information and is meant for quick comments only. Your hopes are too high if you are using this for a Q&A session.

    yeah i saw this on pspupdates, but their download website is SO fucked, so i came here. this is pretty cool, for a first release, i mean, i can’t even switch remote files within one brand! that kinda sux. and yeah, the only other IR remote was for ps2/sony wega tv’s. it sucked, unless you wanna fuck with your ps2 playing friends.

    Dude, this is awesome! I have long since broken the remote on my Sanyo TV, and the subtitles were stuck on, because it had a seperate CC button on the remote instead of it being in the main menu. But now with this great app from Massa84, the subtitles on my TV are no more

    THANKS MASSA!!!!!!!!

Please help I’m noob in this. Thanks(i have 1.50 fw)

    Great App. Makes good use of the ir. I noticed some people need a little help.

    Installation:
    1. Extract the contents of the .rar onto your desktop or wherever
    2. Place the 2 “UR…-” files from the extracted .rar, into the games folder under the the psp folder on your psp
    3. Place the “remotes” folder from the rar onto the root directory of your psp.

    Done!!

    There might be some more shifting of the config files in the “remotes” folder, so ill post here if anything new comes up for me.

    Great App Massa84

    2006-02-01 01:43:24

    OK , guys , pay attention , i figured it out .. YOU NEED THE REMOTE FOLDER in the Main root WITH A remote file in it , the program says goodbye due to the fact it tries to find a remote list and doesn’t find anything .. so here it is for example

    MAIN/PSP/GAMES/ “the 2 UR UR% folders

    MAIN/remotes/folder of remote you have/remote .txt file

    Notice thats when ppl brag about upgrading to 2.0 and that they have a brouser. They always have to add “ohh yeah I am posting this from my PSP” Lol I guess it makes them feel better about the fact it took them forever to get it typed out on thier psp.
    who cares bout a brouser. Its not like 1.5 doesn’t have a brouser anyway.

    Bam ,
    step 1 , PSP MUST be 1.50

    Step 2 , copy the IR and IR% into the Game folder of your psp

    Step 3 , make a folder named remote on the mem card , not in any other folder , just the main end : NOTE do not use caps on the “remote” folder.

    Step 4 , in the remote folder make another folder named from the model you are gonna use such as sony or zenith

    Step 5 , copy over the .txt file into that folder that you are going to use

    Step 6 if that file doesn’t work try the next file until the file that belongs to it works - KNOW ING THE MODEL NUMBER OF THE ORIGINAL REMOTE HELPS!

    It’s pretty cool, I expected it to be pretty hard to get it to work, but it was fine. I even got my dvd to work with the psp while my actual universal remote could! :) Kinda annoying that the remotes take up some much space and I’m too lazy to look through them all. It’s really cool, and Massa did a great job at what Sony couldn’t have done, utilize the ir technology for continuous use and multipurpose. Great Homebrew! (Question though, was this a mod of DJPSP? The menues and controls acted similar. Not that it’s bad or anything, I just think it’s a good theme. Unlike the stupid Halo mod, Totaly knew it was psprevol when I put it in. Even played a few songs, glad that it has “dissappeared from existence”)

    #89 : buy a freaking memory card.. not that expensive.

    Also, has anyone gotten this to work with the explorer 8000? It is a cable box for Brighthouse/Time Warner, made by Scientific Atlanta.

    I have tried this on my toshiba TV, but so far the only functions that work are the volume buttons. Has anyone gotten this working with Toshiba? I noticed that there is only one txt file in the Toshiba folder.

    Massa84 has updated his PSP Universal Remote to version 1.1. PSP Universal Remote is a universal remote controller program, with which you can use on your PSP, to turn it into a universal remote controller for lots of IR controlled devices. In this new version, massa84 has fixed some bugs and added a little new functions to the program:

    Solved bugs:

    - automatic open of certain files in some folders
    - opening of the file philips RC-5 that crashed the psp
    - minor fixes

    New features:

    - Nothing except that if you use very often a remote you can copy the txt file and put it in the folder WITHOUT the % named controller.txt so it will be opened at the startup

    well the download for 1.1 seems to be incomplete … the rar only contains the remotes dir with the file but not the program itself … any other download source ?

    verry cool program, unfortunatly the map “remotes” require a lot of space (can’t fit on a 32mb) does the program work if I put only the the company names in that dir. of the tv I have. so only remote\philips for my philips tv. or does the full directery contains other needed stuff? the licht of my tv blimps, but I can’t control it. is there a funtion (like with pocket pc) to transmit date to gsm?
