RemoteJoy GUI Guide

Preface: After having ( a little ) difficulty getting RemoteJoy GUI
working since the ReadMe may not be entirely sufficient for most users, I
decided to write a guide that goes into a little more detail.

Files Needed:
-RemoteJoy v1.51
-Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0

1. First off, download the .NET 2.0 framework and install it.
This allos for the RemoteJoy GUI application to run. If you don't install
it, you will have to manually type the different commands and whatnot.

2. After running the .NET installation, unzip the RemoteJoy folder.
Inside, you will see another archive entitled 'LibUSB'. Unzip that archive as well.

Spoiler for Picture:

3. As soon as your done extracting LibUSB, go into the folder titled
'PSP FW 3.XX OE'. Copy the PSPLink folder into: X:/PSP/GAME3XX/.

Spoiler for Picture:

4. Go into the folder called 'SEPlugins' and copy all of the *.prx's
the seplugins folder on your PSP, which should be located at X:/seplugins

5. I regret to inform that you whilst getting RemoteJoy working myself, I
had to go and install the driver, I am not aware of how to undo this, else I would
provide screenshots and all the nessecary steps into doing it. If someone can tell me
how to remove the LibUSB driver, I'll undo everything and add screenshots. So until
then, the ReadMe will have to do.

1) Hook up your PSP to your PC via a USB cable.

2) Install the PSPLink v3.0 OE app by copying the PSPLink folder from
"PSP FW 3.XX OE" to your ms0:/PSP/GAME340 folder.

3) On your PSP go to Games and run the PSPLink v3.0 OE program. This will cause
the USB on your PSP to activate and Windows should tell you that it has
detected a new device (PSP Type B) and wants drivers for it.

3) Choose Install from a list or specific location (Advanced) then click Next

4) Select I will choose the driver to install then click Next

5) Click Have Disk then click Browse and steer to where the LibUSB/driver
folder is from the RemoteJoySDL archive and highlight psp.inf then click Open.

6) Click OK and you should have a PSP Type B listed in the window. Click Next

7) Click Finish. Congratulations! LibUSB for the PSP is installed.

You can check to see if it's installed and working correctly by going to your
Device Manager and select View -> Show Hidden Devices.

You should see a category appear named LibUSB-Win32 Devices and inside there
you should see PSP Type B. Right click on that, select Properties and in the
General tab make sure it says Manufacturer: Sony.

6. After you've got LibUSB working, turn off your PSP, and boot into Recovery Mode
by holding in 'R'. Go into plugins and disable all of your plugins. The specific *.prx's
that you just stuck in there don't need to be activated. But for simplicity's sake, just
disable everything.

7. Exit recovery and launch 'PSPLink v3.0 OE' from the GAME section.

8. For now, all you should see is a black background with some white text at top.
Go into the RemoteJoy GUI folder and launch the 'RemotejoyGUI' application. You should
now see a new window. It should look like this.

Spoiler for Picture:

9. click the 'Start' button under the picture that reads 'USBHost FS'.
A new cmd window should pop up. If all goes well, it should look like this.

Spoiler for Picture:

10. click 'Start' under the picture that reads 'PSPSH'. A new window will
show up, it should look like this.

Spoiler for Picture:

11. You now have a choice, you can either go fullscreen with or without an
FPS counter, or a windowed view with or without an FPS counter. I like the windowed
without FPS counter best. Whichever you choose, click an option. Depending on what
you chose, a new dialog box shows up. It should look somewhat like this.

Spoiler for Picture:

12. Select the 'Load Rjoy PRX' option in the RemoteJoy GUI. Now the RemoteJoySDL
window should show what's on your PSP at the moment. Which - if you followed this guide -
should have the white text at the top of the screen.

Spoiler for Picture:

13. Now you can pick the 'Load VSH' button in the RemoteJoy GUI application.

**Note: It can be tricky getting it to run. Sometimes I will have to click 'Reset VSH'
and others 'Load VSH'. I think it's actually just the order in which you do it. I'll
have to update this guide some more later. It's getting late anyway. >_>**

14. If all went well, in the 'RemoteJoySDL' cmd window, you should see the XMB.
Now for some pictures.

Spoiler for Pictures:

15. This guide is still a very much work-in-progress. By all means post tips/hints/solutions/alternatives, whatever.
I shall give credit where credit is due.

I have been having issues hooking up my PSP to my computer after doing this, I've reverted to just using my MS reader instead, so be wary. I'm not responsible for issues you may have.

Spoiler for Game Compatibility:

**El Xando** · 05-19-2007, 02:27 AM

You should add how to get it up and running in game. We should make a compatibility list with games it works with. GTA LCS UMD freezes at loading from memory stick, Burnout Dominator ISO freezes after gameboot and DBZ Shin Budokai Another Road ISO freezes after gameboot as well.

**Fzero** · 05-19-2007, 03:56 AM

Great tutorial Klick this should help a lot of people out

**Adiuvo** · 05-19-2007, 07:13 AM

Nice guide Beefy

Glad you got it up.

Thanks.

Took me damn near two hours. I think I found out how to unintsall the LibUSB drivers. I'll add pictures and instructions how to install the driver later today.

**pspillows** · 05-19-2007, 07:09 PM

Just wondering, does this work with the web browser?
If not, is there any way to get my PC to use the network adapter my PSP does?

**1magus** · 05-20-2007, 01:07 PM

I'll just use a camera mounted to my PSP thanks :P this is wayyyy too complicated, not everything works and theres a bit too much pixelation on full screen anyway

**El Xando** · 05-20-2007, 01:12 PM

**KKlicK** · 05-20-2007, 01:31 PM

Has anyone else tried this with custom icons? I had just put custom icons on my PSP a little while ago, and just had a partial brick after I tried getting RemoteJoy to work. I'd boot up into recovery mode, and then try to exit, but the screen would just stay black. So I enabled flash0 on USB and replaced my topmenu_plugin.rco with my original one, then tried exiting recovery mode, it worked like a charm...

So, don't use this with custom icons.

And the list is updated.

**manaox2** · 05-21-2007, 08:28 PM

Custom Icons seem to F' it all. No game really works for me. Tekken loads up, but only the start button works.

**innercy** · 05-24-2007, 03:02 AM

ultimate block party working fine.

**GThirst** · 05-27-2007, 05:21 PM

Hey I'm playing monster hunter on this right now. Working great.
BTW, I have custom icons and everything working fine.

Also, what do the Playback and Record bars do? And the PRX Location thing above it?

Wishlist for future versions:
Sound through computer speakers
use PC controller (like Xbox 360 controller) to control
turn off PSP screen and play on PC screen (you can hold the brightness button to turn off psp screen, and it still displays on pc)

What icons specifically are you using? Mine partial bricked after using evolve's 'Simple Black' icon set.

**El Xando** · 05-27-2007, 05:45 PM

The icons won't matter. It's probably just some glitch. Remotejoy has frozen my PSP many times resulting in me having to uninstall it. 'Tis a glitchy program.

kankon · 06-01-2007, 06:13 PM

thank you very muck
nice app

Kiko · 06-01-2007, 08:32 PM

I followed your guide, but instead of clinking loadPRX i clicked reset VSH then Load PRX then Load VSH, it made the psp go to the XMB with out freezing. Though, when its about to show the icons and everything< it freezes... Help please? I havent added no custom icons or anything and all my Prx's plugins are disabled.

buru898 · 06-23-2007, 05:16 PM

Yeah I did the same thing Kiko did and it didn't freeze and actually went to the XMB, and I have custom icons. Thanks for this app, it's really nice and is there going to be any more updates on it?
-= Double Post =-
What I did was after I started the PSPLink v3.0 OE was start the apps in this order: USBHost FS -> PSPSH -> Screen size (ex. Windowed with FPS) -> Reset VSH -> Load Rjoy PRX -> Load VSH.

And that's what got it to work for me and I'm using custom icons on a 3.30.

lilmetal · 06-26-2007, 06:43 AM

DJ Max Portable 2 worked perfectly for me... I was even able to take a video of the screen I was playing...

I seem to be having the same problems as Kiko
also i used the same order as buru898 and just before it's about to go to the xmb.. the Sony gameboot shows up and freezes there then crashes..

can anyone offer any advice?

*EDIT* btw im on 3.40 OE-A
and i dont have autoboot homebrew enabled

*EDIT2* okay i figured out what was going wrong..
there was a umd in the drive :rolls eyes:

but still this is really glitchy
also weather i click with or without FPS.. the FPS is always there
and on fullscreen mode.. the screen is waay of center which makes this completly useless for me.

hcl404 · 06-26-2007, 11:15 AM

For sound through the computer speakers you'll have to use one of these:
http://www.monoprice.com/products/pr...ormat=2&style=

Plug that in to the microphone jack on your PC and connect the other end to the PSP's headphone jack. You might have to adjust your computer's volume settings too. Now you can record gameplay with sound.

**DJShrimpy** · 07-08-2007, 06:53 PM

Well I followed all the steps but I can't figure out how to get to the XMB, I'm just stuck at the PSPLink screen :(

**jupchinbom** · 08-20-2007, 08:44 AM

Just a tip for you guys, the problem why you people keep experiencing hangs when loading savefiles can be solved by pressing F5 before you load the savefile and after you load it finish, you press F5 again to bring back the screen. =)

F5 is for disabling the screen temporarily btw.

**bboyjcm** · 10-14-2007, 02:54 AM

i cant get this to work.... i can only see a black screen...

Step 10:
The host0:/ from command prompt doesn't show up.. (its black(empty))
im talking about this one : http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...CKER/rjoy5.png

btw,how can you close the program without hard reseting your psp?

Any suggestions?

**El Xando** · 10-14-2007, 03:01 AM

We really need a new thread for this. The maker is perma-banned and I know how to get both GTAs working.

Allen1 · 11-10-2007, 05:39 AM

Thanks for the information KlicK.

I read a bit about using the RemoteJoy program but the information was pretty poor and very thin at the time, this is a easier to get to grips with than my earlier experience at reading the method about getting it up and running.

I am hoping that I will never need to use this software but if I do, I will check your post again for reference and assistance.

Thanks for taking the time to pass along your experience in using this program and for the updates as to what will work with it (or not).

Cheers,

Allen. :-)

**Jomann** · 11-11-2007, 12:22 AM

bravestory works, until loading and saving, i just unplug the usb cable then load and save.
