*UPDATE* penpvdbs sent us a fixed keymap chart for the PSP Quake w/ Targus Universal Wireless Keyboard (the old one was corrupted: wondered why a Word doc would be only 8KB?). New download link below has the file you're looking for.

And just to clarify, says penpvdbs, rein4ce gets the credit for the PSP Quake IR keyboard code in the first place. penpvdbs used the debug version to map the Targus keyboard so it could work with PSP Quake. All in all, it's a team effort with everyone doing their thing.



The PSP Quake w/ IR keyboard support mod has received much appreciation from the PlayStation Portable (PSP) homebrew community. After all, that's Quake on your handheld units, how can you top that? Well, maybe with a similar mod. Homebrew coder penpvdbs dropped QJ.Net a note saying that he has made the game compatible with a Targus universal wireless keyboard.

Take note that the file is not yet available as of now because the coder is still using a test version. penpvdbs also added that before releasing a public version, he and reinf4ce would like to implement a few features like hardware rendering and a menu option for different keyboards.

So for the time being, the download below will provide you with a document file containing the mapped chart on how to use the Targus keyboard with PSP Quake. And as a proof of concept, the video clip below has also been provided by penpvdbs.

Wow, this is pathetic. What's the point of having a massive, IR keyboard hanging on to the PSP for dear life. How the ***** is that even portable?

Remember kiddies, it's the PlayStation PORTABLE. It's not a *****ing console you keep in your house.

Again, I make better ***** than this in my toilet.

Stfu, your birth was pathetic.

how you can call a portable keyboard for a portable console useless or "pathetic" is beyond me
i can think of many uses of this for my psp, and many times that i could use it outside of my home.
and it dosn't 'hang on for dear life' it rests on the stand like any PDA.
and you can continue playing with your own **** in your toilet, while ill be on the train playing Quake on my PSP with a keyboard

 » Haha!

I'm sure you'll be playing it on the train, you lying *****.

I just bought the targus universal keyboard at CompUSA's store closing sale for $17 dollars. Quake is a great proff of concept, and I cant wait for all the typing related homebrew catch on.
