How to use PSP as a Monitor



This Tutorial will show you how to set up your PSP to be used as a Second Monitor on your PC. This can be helpful in many ways, for example watching a tutorial on the psp and doing it on your main monitor, or simply moving your media player out of the way.

Step 1: What you'll need

For this little project, you'll need:
- a PSP running a custom firmware above 3.71 [I used 4.01 M33-2]
PSPDisp by Jochen Schleu
- A USB Cable

My PSP is a Phat PSP with 4.01 M33-2. I haven't tested this on a slim or any other firmware, so I'm not sure how well (or not) this will work on other setups.

From the PSPDisp Readme, you'll also need:
- a PC running Windows XP 32 bit (it will not work on 64 bit versions or Vista, it may run under Windows 2000 but this is untested)
- a suitably fast processor, for comparison:
-> 25 % CPU load on single core Pentium 4 3.06 Ghz
-> 40 % CPU load on single core AMD Athlon 64 3200+ (2.2 Ghz)
It should be fine on any modern PC.

Step 2: Setting up PSPDisp


Start by downloading and installing PSPDisp from the provided link.
Run the installer and go to the install directory afterwards (eg. C:\Program Files\PSPDisp\).

Go into the "bin" folder, and then to psp\PSP\GAME.
Copy the PSPDisp folder to the PSP\GAME folder on your PSP's memory stick.

Now, on your PSP, connect the USB Cable (if you haven't already done so), and run PSPDisp PSP application.

Now, you'll get a popup about new hardware, "PSP Type B". When it asks for the driver, tell it to search in "X:\%pspdisp install path%\bin\driver_usb", "X:\%pspdisp install path%" being wherever you installed PSPDisp.

Step 3: Installing Display Driver


Picture of Installing Display Driver

driverinstall7.jpg
driverinstall8.jpg

driverinstall9.jpg

Okay now you've got nearly all of PSPDisp's components up and running, all you need now is the display driver.

To start, bring up the add new hardware wizard. This wizard will either be in Printers and Other Devices (on Category View), or there'll simply be an icon for it (on Classic View).

Installing Driver Instructions:
1] On the first screen, choose "Yes i have already connected the hardware".
2] Next, scroll to the bottom and select "Add new hardware device".
3] Now select "Install what I manually select from a list".
4] In that, select "Show all devices"
5] Don't bother searching for it (it's not there). Just click "have disk".
6] Now, browse to X:\%PSPDisp Install Directory%\bin\driver_display.
That's it. Just follow the rest of the instructions the Wizard gives you! Ignore the warning about the driver not being digitally signed.

Step 4: Setting up the Display



Okay now that you have everything you need installed, go ahead and start PSPDisp itself. It's in the \bin\app folder.

It will show up in the system tray as a little picture of a PSP, and to control it just right click the icon. Start off by enabling the display driver. This adds another "Monitor" to the computer, with a resolution of 960x544px.

Now enable PSPDisp to output to your PSP. Hopefully you still have the app running on the PSP. If not start it now :P

Step 5: Finishing Up



Now you have to position the new desktop.
This can be done by right clicking your desktop and selecting properties -> settings, or you can launch it from PSPDisp's menu.

As you can see in the picture below, I have my new desktop centred under my monitor, but if you want to move your monitor on top or at the sides that'll work too (might be confusing at the sides though :P).

An excellent program for Multi-Display setups is "UltraMon". It also works a charm for this setup, so I recommend you try it out. It can extend the taskbar to the second desktop, change wallpapers of desktops respectively, and more. It's a trial version, though and costs $39.95 for a licence. There's probably (definately) a free alternative, if you find one, please comment :)

Step 6: Outtro

Well that's it. You now have a multi-desktop setup, with a PSP! :)
If you have anything you want to say, please comment, it would be much appreciated!

How To Jailbreak PlayStation 3 Running 4.5 - WORKING PERFECT



How To Jailbreak PlayStation 3 Running 4.5 Official Firmware Easily




I have been searching for how to jailbreak my ps3 for a long time and it was hard for me to find a good tutorial on how to do it, but few hours back i got a nice tutorial to jailbreak Play station 3 which is running the latest firmware that is 4.5 . There are lot of sites which are scams around the web which will make you do surveys and waste your time. But in this tutorial i will explain you how to jailbreak Play Station 3 Running 4.5 Official Firmware Easily.
In order to jailbreak PlayStation 3 running the latest firmware you need to either downgrade the firmware to 3.55 or less. There is no jailbreaks released for the rest of the latest version. I have been searching a lot for jailbreaking my updated Playstation 3 and the possible answer to the question is NO. There is no way to jailbreak a play station 3 running the latest firmware. There are lots of videos and scammers who are uploading videos to scam people but the fact is there is no official jailbreak released for play station 3 which is running the latest firmware.
When i got to know about this my second search was whether it’s possible to downgrade my play station to the old 3.55 or less firmware and yes it’s possible but the problem of doing this is if you downgraded it will be very difficult to update your Playstation 3 again to the latest official firmware, but still i will explain you how to downgrade Playstation 3 running 4.50 firmware to 3.55.

How to Downgrade PlayStation 3 running 4.5 official firmware to 3.55

VIDEO TUTORIAL JAILBREAKING PS3 Running 4.50 Firmware


YOU CAN JAILBREAK ANY VERSION OF PLAYSTATION FIRMWARE USING THIS METHOD.

This is the only working technique to jailbreak Playstation 3 running 4.5 official firmware

For downgrading your PlayStation 3 you need a software called Rogero i will mention you the download link below.

Download Rogero 4.46 v1.01 CFW here. (194.21 MB)

This is the only trick which worked for me hence i’m sharing this with you.
1. Download the file “RB446DKIPF.PUP“ and rename it to PS3UPDAT.PUP
2. Create a new folder on the Root of your USB flash drive or External HD and name it “PS3” ( it would look like this: x:PS3 where X is the drive)
3. Create a new folder inside the “PS3” folder we just created and name it “UPDATE” . ( it would now look like this: x:PS3/UPDATE)
4. Copy the PS3UPDAT.PUP file we renamed and place it inside the “UPDATE” folder we just created. ( it should now go something like this: x:PS3/UPDATE/PS3UPDAT.PUP)
5. Insert your USB or External HD into your PS3
6. Turn on your PS3, go to System update and select “Update via Storage Media”
7. Just follow any on screen instructions that would come up.
8. And you’re done!
by following the above steps you will get your ps3 downgraded to a custom firmware and it will be a jailbreaked firmware. And now you can install downloaded games easily into your jailbroken Playstation 3. You can use hacks like Multiman to make the process f installing downloaded games much more easily into Playstation 3.
And i would like to make you clarify one thing never trust any YouTube videos which shows jailbreaks all are fake videos if there is any official jailbreak releases for the latest firmware that is 4.5 then I will be posting an article or I will be updating this article at that time, and i highly recommend  you guys to buy games rather than downloading it from the internet.

"PS3 and PS4 Players can play togeather - Cross-Platform" - Says SONY

Sony: PS4 and PS3 cross-platform gameplay 'technically possible'

Plus word on MP3s and CDs ... you remember those



Your friends who refuse to upgrade to PS4 right away might not have to be dragged into the next console generation kicking and screaming in order for you to play multiplayer games together.
Sony revealed that PS4 and PS3 can theoretically play together online in cross-platform fashion, according to a lengthy launch FAQ posted by the company today.
"The functionality is technically possible and some developers may choose to support it for their titles," it read.
Sony didn't include any more details, such as naming games that plan to support this feature or developers that have expressed interest in implementing cross-platform gameplay.
A theory is nice and all, but it sounds like users will be left to the PS4's release date and subsequent game releases to see how this plays out in practice.

Dynamic Menu in name only

Continuing on with the FAQ, Sony revealed that when PS4 owners boot up the system for the first time, they'll be greeted by the awkwardly named "PlayStation Dynamic Menu."
This graphical interface replaces the PS3's "Cross Media Bar" of the last seven years.
"We developed the [PlayStation Dynamic Menu] on key development ideas for PS4: simple, immediate, social, integrated, and personalized," wrote Sony.
Unfortunately, it's "Dynamic" in name only, as Sony indicated that the custom themes from PS3 won't make the generational leap.

MP3s? That's so PS3

When it comes to playing music on Sony's forthcoming console, the thousands of MP3 files and CDs that most of us own aren't going to work.
"Will I be able to play MP3s on PS4?" posed an FAQ entry. Sony responded with a curt, "No."
The same response was given to audio CDs. PS4 plays Blu-rays and DVDs, but not CDs.
Likewise, PS4 doesn't support media servers or offer DLNA support for streaming videos and movies from a home PC.
The alternative? Try downloading all of your music and movie content through Sony's online store, of course.
The fact that age-old audio formats and custom menu themes are getting the axe is a shame.
However, the glimmer of hope that PS4 and PS3 gamers can play together if developers so choose starts to make up for the inconvenience.
