I found a nice utility for your psp (custom firmware required!) that uses the psp as a secundary monitor. I downloaded the setup, and the source files and tried to make it work but it didn’t work after I installed the software. Maybe i need a reboot but I haven’t tested that yet.. will keep up updated and will let you guys/girls know if it works after a reboot after installing the software.

Information

So what is this about? Well, it basically gives you an additional monitor with a 960×544 resolution (four times the area of the PSP display). There are four components working together, on Windows a display driver, an usb driver and the interface application which captures the screen, compresses it and sends it over USB to the PSP. On the PSP side there is an application that decompresses the frames and displays them. All settings are adjustable from the Windows side, the PSP really only acts as a passive display.

Requirements

PSP: Either slim or phat model running a custom firmware (tested on CFW 4.01 M33).

PC: Reasonably modern PC (Pentium 4 / Athlon64 or above) running a 32 Bit version of Windows XP. It may work under Windows 2000, but it is untested. 64 bit versions are not supported, as well as Windows Vista. I would like to provide a Vista version but it will probably never happen due to the changes in the display driver model regarding multi-monitor support.

Installation

Windows application, drivers, etc.
# Download the installer below and execute it.
# When it comes to the display driver installation, Windows will warn you that the driver is unsigned, let the setup program install it anyway.
# After setup has finished, open your display settings and enable the new monitor then move it to the position you like.
# Connect your PSP and copy the files from the “psp” folder in the installation directory to the memory stick.

[update]

I forgot to read this step..

* Display driver *
This depends on how your Windows is set up, basically you have to invoke
the “New Hardware Wizard”, e.g. this way:
- Open the control panel. Click on “Printers and Other Hardware”.
Click on “Add Hardware” in the pane on the left.
- In the wizard select the location of the PSPdisp display driver.
Windows will warn you that the driver is not signed, ignore that.
- When the installation is complete there should be an additional
graphics card in the device manager and an additional monitor in
the display settings dialog.

It’s a bit sluggish but it works.
