Streaming From Your PSP To Your PC.


This guide shows how to stream gameplay from your PSP to your PC, to record and share.
It's not just games, pretty much anything that happens on your PSP can be streamed.

This works with any model PSP as it uses the USB port, not video-out.
This requires a 5.x or 6.x Custom Firmware that can use plugins.

This has been tested on 32-bit XP, and 32/64-bit Vista/7.
Support for 64-bit XP is untested so far.​

Installing the plugin.

1. First you need to determine your firmware version.
   Spoiler

   On the main menu go to the very left and choose System Settings.
   

   

   
   
   Scroll down and select System Information.
   

   

   
   
   Your System Software version will be there, the first digit is what you should pay attention to.
   If it's lower than 5.00, check out stickies in the PSP section to see how to update your CFW.
   

   
2. Download whichever file matches your version.
   
   
   
   RemoteJoyLite - 5.x
   
   
   RemoteJoyLite - 6.x
   (For 6.6x CFWs, grab the 6.x, then grab this version and overwrite the 6.x with the 6.6x files.)
   It's also suggested you update the downloaded copy with this bugfix.
   
   
   Fixed
   
   Open the download and grab the RemoteJoyLite.prx file.
3. Connect your PSP to your PC with a USB cable, and browse the memory stick.
   
   Find or make the seplugins folder and open it, place the RemoteJoyLite.prx file inside it.
4. If they don't already exist, make three text files.
   
   Name the first one GAME, the second one POPS, and the third one VSH.
   
   
5. Determine when you're going to use this plugin.
   
   If you want it active while in a PSP game or homebrew, modify GAME in the next step.
   If you want it active while in a PS1/PSX game, modify POPS in the next step.
   If you want it active while in the PSP menus or PSN store, modify VSH in the next step.
   It's perfectly fine to have it active in more than one (or all three).
6. Modify the text file to add and enable the plugin.
   
   Open the text file and add this line.
   
   CODE
   ms0:/seplugins/RemoteJoyLite.prx 1 Each line in each text file lists the location of a plugin's main .prx file, and whether it's enabled or not. A 1 means it's enabled, while a 0 means it's disabled. If you intend to use this with POPS (PSX/PS1 games), you'll need to add another line as well, at the top. This needs to be the first line.
   
   
   CODE
   flash0:/kd/usb.prx 1
   
   NOTE: PSP Go users should use EF0: instead of ms0: in their text files.
7. Disconnect your PSP, restart it fully and go to the recovery menu to make sure the plugin was activated.
   
   For some firmwares you can press Select at the main menu to get an option to go to the recovery menu, but for others you'll need to turn your PSP fully off, then turn it back on while holding the R trigger to get into the recovery menu. Once in the recovery menu go to the Plugins section to see a list of which plugins are listed where, and which are active. You should see RemoteJoyLite in the proper section, and it should be enabled.
   
   
8. (Optional) Raise the PSP's clock rate to eliminate slowdown.
   
   Within the recovery menu there should be a section to change the CPU speed/clock. Most games run at 222mhz, but the PSP can be optionally clocked up to 333mhz (which is not used normally because the PSP runs hotter and sucks more battery power). If you notice that the game you're playing is a little slow when streaming to the PC, you can raise the clock rate and it should fix it.
   
   

Preparing the drivers.
Depending on your edition of Windows, this can be simple, or annoying.


XP Users

Spoiler

Download and unzip this driver package.

XP PSP Type-B Drivers

32-Bit...

1. Run the installer and click Next.
   
   
   
2. if you accept, choose so and click Next.
   
   
   
3. When it's done, click Finish.
   
   
   

64-bit...

• Copy the Raw Drivers folder to somewhere you'll remember, like your desktop.
  
  Leave it there for now, you'll be using it later.

Vista/7 Users

Spoiler

1. Download and unzip this driver package.
   
   
   
   Vista/7 PSP Type-B Drivers
2. Open the Installer Patcher folder, and run dseo13b.exe, click next
   
   
   
3. If you accept the agreement, click Yes (you can't do this without accepting).
   
   
   
4. In the program's main menu, choose Sign a system file.
   
   
   
   
   The program will ask you which file to sign, but there's no "browse" button, so....
5. Go to the folder that has the Raw Drivers and click inside the location box.
   
   
   
6. You should now be able to copy that text and paste it into the driver signer box.
   
   
   
7. After the text, add a blackslash ( ) and then the name of one of the driver files.
   
   Do this for libusb0.dll and libusb0.sys.
   If you're on a 64-bit version, also do it for libusb0_x64.dll and libusb0_x64.sys.
   
   
8. You should get a confirmation message after each file you sign.
   
   
   
9. Now that the drivers are self-signed, we need to put Windows into test mode.
   
   This is a mode for developers that allows us to load self-signed drivers.
   
   
10. After you get the confirmation message, restart.
    
    
    
11. Hey wait a minute, what the hell is that in the bottom-right?
    
    
    
    
    Windows displays a message in the corner whenever you're in a non-normal mode.
    Luckily we can apply a simple patch to remove that message.
12. Back in the driver signer program, choose the Remove Watermarks option.
    
    
    
    
    You will be directed to a website, download RemoveWatermark_20090509.zip (or a later version).
13. Run the watermark remover.
    
    32-bit: RemoveWatermarkX86.exe
    64-bit: RemoveWatermarkX64.exe
14. You will get a confirmation window, simply press the Y key.
    
    
    
15. When it's done, restart and the watermark should be gone.

Installing The Drivers

1. Put your PSP into the mode that you set it to record in earlier.
   
   If this was POPS, start a PS1/PSX game.
   If this was GAME, start a PSP game.
   If this was VSH, leave it at the main menu.
2. Connect your PSP to your PC.

32-bit XP Users

Spoiler

The drivers should automatically be detected and PSP Type-B should be installed. If so, you're done with this section.

Everybody Else

Spoiler

1. You should get an error message that there's no drivers.
   
   Ignore/close it.
2. Right-click Computer or My Computer in the start menu, and go to the properties.
   
   
   
3. Go to the Device Manager (XP users need to go to the Hardware tab first).
   
   
   
4. Find PSP Type B and double-click it.
   
   
   
5. Go to the Driver tab and click Update Driver.
   
   
   
6. Choose Browse My Computer For Driver Software.
   
   
   
7. Click the Browse button, and choose the folder that your Raw Drivers (that you signed) are in.
   
   
   
8. Windows will throw a hissy fit, tell it Install This Driver Software Anyway.
   
   
   

When the drivers are installed Windows makes copies in it's system folder, so feel free to delete all the stuff you've downloaded up to this point.



Using RemoteJoyLite

1. Download the client and unzip it somewhere.
   
   
   
   RemoteJoyLite Client
2. Run RemoteJoyLite_en.exe.
   
   If your PSP has connected, you should see your PSP screen!
   
   
   
   If your PSP's not connected in the proper mode or something went wrong, the screen will be black.
3. Right-click in the screen to access the settings, and go to the Capture tab.
   
   Make sure that Enable AVI Capture is checked, and also check Enable WAV Capture.
   
   
4. Unfortunately the USB cable doesn't transfer audio like this, so you'll need to do something else for sound.
   
   Hook one end of a double-ended audio cable to your PSP's mic jack, and the other end to your Microphone or Line-In jack.
   
   
5. To record, press F12 in the RemoteJoyLite window, and a little [REC] symbol should appear in the corner.
   
   Press F12 again when you want to stop recording.
   Recordings are saved in the Capture folder.
   
   Recordings are uncompressed by default, which is fast but takes up a huge amount of space.
   You will want to compress/convert the recordings to something like MP4 (x264 or such) with
   a video converter before you upload them onto Youtube or do whatever you do with them.

Something is wrong. I am using the drivers from the guide, and the bugfixed remotejoy and most of the time i just get a black screen. when i start a game or exit a game it seems to get stuck on the first frame after it switches from game to xmb or xmb to game. also joy and key input is not working. i really need that to work. i only have one other plugin installed, it is macrofire to disable 2 broken buttons and have them remapped to volume buttons.

stuck on these screens

Spoiler

*EDIT*

I just switched to the 6.6x files form the bugfix one and it working perfectly now

 

[goemon_guy]

I've been trying to get this plugin working for awhile now, and I've had issues with it.

First off, I can get the PC side to see the XMB when it loads up, but the moment I turn on a game, it just changes to a black waiting screen, and stays there.

I followed the instructions on this topic down to the last detail, (from what I could tell).

For reference, I'm using the following set-up:
PSPgo
6.20 PRO-B10

I adjusted the SEPLUGINS path to EF, since plugins are on the internal storage.
I've tried using the plugin from the memory stick, and using MS0: , but that doesn't change anything.
I dunno what else to try, so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I will post images of my GAME.TXT , VSH.TXT , and whatever else is required to diagnose the issue if anyone would help!

Thanks in advance.

EDIT:
Here's an image of my VSH and GAME.TXT files.

And a bit of additional info:

PSP-type B doesn't show up in my Device Manager while playing games; it does when in VSH mode. I suspect that this is where I screwed up but I dunno where I went wrong. If anyone knows how I can completely wipe that driver, and reinstall it from scratch I'd like to try that.

 

[Rydian]

I don't have any experience using this with a Go, sorry, but it sounds like a possible issue with the CFW (try PRO-C2) or the plugin itself (there's a few modified copies out there that may or may not work on various systems).

 

[goemon_guy]

If I upgrade to 6.60 PRO-C2 , will that be a permanent or temporary patch? (Where you have to run a file each time).

From what I understand, it would be a temporary patch, (since I'm using a Go) and I'd prefer to have it permanently patched if possible.

Thanks for the response at any rate!

 

[Rydian]

6.20 PRO-C2 is available as well. PRO is developed for multiple base firmware versions.

 

[goemon_guy]

Oh, well that works fine then. I'll let you know how that fares, then!

 

[goemon_guy]

Sorry for double posting, but the update was successful, and the results are still the same.

Thanks again, though!

 

[TheBaron87]

I just wanted to say THANK YOU for this guide and hosting those files. The versions of remotejoylite commonly available would let me see my PSP's screen, but I couldn't control it. Your version has working gamepad input for Win7 x64, so thank you! That, combined with a male/male stereo cable to my line-in port and bridging the connection between my LAN (PS3) and wireless network on my PC has let me use ad-hoc party to play PSP games on my PC monitor, with a real controller, while talking to my buddies and hearing both them AND the game through my headset, through a wireless internet connection Yes folks, it can be done!

PSP B wont come up in my devices menu.

I'm using a PSP 3000, Windows 7 64 bit.

I've done all the other steps, except the bit where it says "Put your PSP in the mode that you set it to record in earlier" because I wasn't told to do any such thing earlier.

Help?

VSH/GAME/POPS. If you set the plugin in GAME, then launch a homebrew or PSP game ISO.

I have them all active... RJL isn't picking up my PSP, Device manager doesn't pick it up at all unless I go into USB mode and then it still doesn't pick up PSP B. I'm totally lost here and probably seem really dumb xD

NEVER MIND! found it!

 

[legolex96]

New problem. I open up KHBBS (UMD actual disk version) and when I do my RJL crashes and shuts my PSP down... Any ideas?

 

[Rydian]

What caused it to run?

Also try an unpatched version of BBS, and no other plugins running at the same time.

 

[legolex96]

I was using the 6x plugin instead of the 6xx

How do i unpatch BBS? I have no other plugins running.

*EDIT*

Every time I do something an "HaveIn" error comes up on RJL and like I said before, shuts my PSP down.

I am running through this but got really confused when there was some weird picture on Step 6 of preparing the drivers for Win7 Vista users. What the heck is that? I wasn't completely sober and got distracted but what the heck is up with that photo?

Also when I go in to test mode to remove the watermark is this a temporary thing or do I have to always be in test mode to play? Will testmode go away with a reboot?

 

[Rydian]

Looks like the image for step 7's not loading right, might come back later.

And test mode stays after a reboot, though sometimes Windows Update will revert it.

So if this suddenly stops working I should try to use that tool to go back in to test mode....

 

[eosia]

Is there any updated version for Mac OS X .

Yup.

Idunno', but it'd likely be a different program entirely since it'd need to use a different driver and such.

 

[blaisedinsd]

Cool I got it working, I see my PSP on the screen. I get some weird audio feedback, so I turned off sound capture and it went away.

The main reason I wanted to do this was to use a controller but I can't get it to work. I got my PS3 controller working and connected, and I even see it changing values inthe Joy config. I figured I should hold the controller button, like circle, and then click the symbol. This did save the value for circle, however after configuring all the buttons I still can not control the game with my controller. I am hooked in through USB and trying to play crash 2, I want analog control. Any ideas?
