PSP Universal Remote
greg | January 31, 2006
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.

I have the same question as #10. I’ts putting it on my psp right now but i wasn’t sure if the folder remotes goes in the root or where. I just put it in the root. I’ll let ya know if it works.
It The remotes folder goes in the root dir.
WORKİNG !! i tried sony remote on my i tv. i can select channels and change volume.
thanks…
ismin ne #14?
does it work on 2.0
I Just seen this on PSPUpdates :) Looks cool but only for 1.5 :(
um..whenever i try to get it working, it just says “goodbye” and shuts down…tf
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.
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.
one quik question. How do I figure out which one i use they have all those b31-135 stuff like that so how do i find it and i havea sanyo tv.
hey did anyone get this to work with a toshibad 65″ tv and/or a bell expresvue 3100 ??
Lmfao thats damn nice!!!! viva la 1.5!!!!
yep on pspupdates.com like 6 hrs ago yawn cant psp-hacks find there own stories
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!!!!!!!!
Bitch Bitch Fucking Bitch.
Cry because your t.v. doesn’t turn on/off. Make it work then you coders. Stop complaining. They came out with it so you can play and all you do is FUCKING BITCH!
@ #19, use the d-pad left and right ;) it pages up and down the remote/manufacturer menu…lol
#25 beaner… fuck off and stay on PSPUPDATES then, cockboy
I cant install it on my psp, I put the RAR folder at the root of my MS and then I extract. this takes about 6 minutes then it cost me about 70 mb, and when i go to the game folder i can’t see an icon, because the folders aren’t at the right place. Please help I’m noob in this. Thanks(i have 1.50 fw)
this prog is what ive been waitin for…its great that someone decided to make use of the IR….i needed a universal remote for a long time…but to cheap to buy one….it works on my cable box and my vcr…too bad it doesn’t work for my tv…cuz that what i need most…but universal remotes never work for my tv…so its nothing new to me….this prog rocks….keep up the good work…maybe a update that will work for my tv???

so anyone with a expressvue 3100??

yessssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! abount fucking tim eim so happpy!
nice little program the only problems i have with it is i dont know how to figure out what .txt might be the one i need so i have to ether find a way to figure that out or test them but some have a lot of .txt files and it takes a long time to get back to test another….

i wish it could record but im no tht eone writting it.
it does run nicely, ill just anticipate the next release, if its not out in 2 weeks then ill be mad.
#50, what kinda tv is it (size, hd…) and does ANYONE hae the bellexpresvu 3100 satalite disgh working?????
Its still a bit buggy, for some reason certain brands will open and choose the model automatically. a pretty sweet app though, i am looking forward to it being updated and, because it is a great idea.
can u connect to ur laptop infared port using this?
holy shit yo this works on my xbox 360 i was able to put a dvd in mt 360 and use the psp to control it while the movie was playing.. very sick good job guys keep up the good work

Only two words can even tumble out of my mouth: [In a Carl Brutananadilewski accent - from ATHF] “Frickin… Awesome!”
PS: aqua teen hunger force owns your mom!
Hey guys, what profile did you use to get it to work with your 360?
This is so cool i love it and it works great on COMACAST boxe’s (digital cable) the best homebrew ever
i got it workin on ps2
poeple are stupid there complaining how they have 2.0. reallyu kids how long has the downgrader been out for like about a 5 months now come on. the only reason u should upgrade to 2.0 is to play socom online becuase flashmod 2.0 doesnt work with it once ur done with that just downgrade with mph downgrader derr. so 2.0+ loser quite ur bitching
works great for my rca tv
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
Sweet stuff
i did all that and it jus brings me back to the first screen and does nothing ..any help?
So how much memory does this thing eat up??
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.
On my U-Remote Xbox has the same input code as a GE and RCA DVD PLAYERs
I haven’t tryed it yet but I would say it would work with a GE or RCA code.
I will try tomarow and see.
By the way this ONLY works for 1.5 not 2.+ so quit asking why it doesn’t work dumbass upgraders
hey can someone plz help me out with this cause i am a mad n00b to psp plz feel free to add me on msn at……chronotrigger15@hotmail.com
thanks alot
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!
fuck dat i lost my psp or sumbody stole i wish i can do this shit that u guyz are doin FUCK!
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”)
THIS APP IS THE SHIZNIT!!!
IF YOU ARE HAVING TROUBLE GETTING THIS TO WORK WITH YOUR TV TRY CHANGING THE FREQUENCY USING THE R TRIGGER WHILE IN THE REMOTE TXT YOUR TRYING TO USE.
you may have homebrew on 1.5 but we have got a lot of homebrew and GTA on 2.0 woooooo!!!!
anyone? what codes to make it work with SEARS TV?
needs a readme file to say how to install for those who only have the rar file and not the page instructions here.
hey all, may i know what the distance wise from the psp to the tv?
