While we ourselves aren't quite sure how useful this ultimately is, we have to admit that a number of us here at QJ found it cool anyways. QJ reader nano alerts us to this YouTube video where YouTube user obiwan222222 claims been able to play the Wii on his PSP using Location Free support.

Observe:


Yes, we can hear it now. Some of you folks are probably thinking fake already. Well, given that he just seems to be using his PSP as a monitor, and isn't really doing anything more complicated than that, we'll leave the debunking to you folks.

Anyway, on the chance that this isn't fake, the only handy application that comes to mind is that this might serve as a great solution if in case your Wiimote strap just snapped, and you're in desperate need of a screen.

whooooooooooooooooot, thats awsome brosif

 » nice try

it will wow most people but....
no not me. you can plug any video device to that 200 dollar, even ps2/ps3 dvd or even the almighty nes then transmit the video data to the psp.
there's even some homebrews that can do this if you have a wifi router and a pc with video in capabilities.
anyways nice show off.

I would use my Location Free Player to display Halo 2 (or Halo 3 when it comes out) on my PSP's screen. I have wireless Xbox 360 remotes so I could plkay in my rooom where i don't have a T.V.

If its real, its pretty cool. Must be some bad lag between the wiimote and the PSP Screen though.

The location free player is letting the PSP stream the Wii from the TV... Durka durka.

I've read about the location free player. it can stream pretty much any audio/video to all nearby location free devices (psp, ps3 i think, and some sony tvs) I didn't read everything, but it sounded pretty sweet :D

You could do anything. Cable, air tv, gamecube, wii, and the ps3 even if you wanted to. So this really isn't anything important. I could even do this if I had the hardware for it. Anyone who wants to send me a free location free I will prove it. :)

Finally we can play Nintendo 64 games at full speed and full sound! This is great!!! No more 8 fps- no sound N64 games for me!

And thank you Pimp Streamer for allowing me to use my Wii to access my computer's media!

can we pleese have a tutorial?


   Re: Not that hard (Unregistered) - 2007-03-29
 » It's really quite easy

1. Buy PSP, Wii, and Location Free Player.
2. Plug the Wii's output (composite) red, white and yellow RCA cables into the back of the Location Free Player.
3. Follow Location Free instructions to hook up the PSP. (Your PSP must be 2.5 or higher.)
4. Set the PSP to be viewing the Wii output.
5. Play the Wii on your PSP screen.

 » omg

this isn't amazing, the locationfree player just has a/v plugs in the back so bascially anything like that can be diasplayed on the psp, of course theres lag time. ive already plugged my ps3 into and streamed blu-ray movies to my psp and worked fabulously

ya i agree but its just been a slow month for qj.net until r10 comse out, or antother theme made by a random person.
   by GaveUpTomorrow - 2007-03-14
 » Why is this posted?...

QJ, you need to just post ONE tutorial on what the Location free player does and how it works. We don't need an article every time someone plays a different system through the LFP. The thing is several hundred dollars in itself, and for that price, you might as well just go by the Wii itself (that is if you can even find it). Seriously though, the location free player can do this with movies, games, music, etc...and this isn't really showing anything new to what you have shown before..

that 5 year old kid should STFU

   by 1nfinitum (Unregistered) - 2007-03-14
 » Please.

For one, this is the same little *****got that faked the n64 I believe. It's pretty pathetic, if you ask me. Look, you can see his reflection in the screen, he's a 12 year old kid. He's just begging for attention and you're giving him what he wants. Anybody can use LocationFree player, but he doesn't even have the technical skills to set up PiMP Streamer.

And for those thinking he's emulating the Wii on the PSP, he's not, at most what he could be faking is Wii control support by pointing it at the screen, and as you can see, he isn't. And if he was, what would be the point? Who would want to point at a small little screen and have to keep that huge ugly box (which is just an over-sized IR bar) on top of the PSP.

Turn your heads, and don't look back. This one's a failure.

That kid hasn't hit puberty yet.
This is a dumb post.
Anyone can use it.
Anything can be streamed.
Why would you stream anything to the PSP?
The screen is way to small for it.
Just a waste of time.


   Re: cX (Unregistered) - 2007-03-18
 » um...

I agree with all of your point except for the first one. Why should this kid be shunned for not hitting puberty? Sure it's sort of sad, but it's not his fault.

FAKE

   by soopergooman - 2007-03-14
 » LIKE ZOMG

People it's very simple, you can hook up a ps2 or ps3 or blue ray player to a location free player and use it to play games [B]anywhere in the world[/B]! it's to bad that Sony didn't include that feature in the ps3 as originally specified. This kid is cool, he figured out a simple hardware way of being able to play with his Wii after his bedtime, I assume. Good job!


   Re: yes (Unregistered) - 2007-03-14
 » wooo

anywhere in the world as long as you have a magic super wireless controller that works on the power of wishes and dreams. the psp is not capable of controlling anything other than the presentation of the video output. he needed to use a wii controller. bluetooth only reaches about 30 ft, and the wireless ps2 controllers only work about 15 or so on RF. this is completely useless.

 » no

omg go read the location free support page, it tells you all about it there. do you think I'm farting this out my ass? god people who never read.


Also this is not a tiny screen the one used for the wii in this link is 1.5 inch

 » Amazing

This is amazing....But it doesnt make sense......Well technologically yes....but in terms of use...no.

You dont play wii while your taking the bus to work.

you play the psp while you take the bus to work.

If you can afford a wii...the chances are...you probably can afford a TV.

and if you already have a wii....then you probably have a TV already.

 » HAHAHA

this is so stupid, it's not practical to start off with, a 4 year old could of came up with this, as proof by the voice in the video, and it has a delay, who the ***** would do this, everything would happen seconds after you actually did it

   by jsharrad - 2007-03-14
 » delay

Everyone seems to be forgetting that theres a 6 second delay between anything he does and the actual output on the psp screen, so yeah, it's real useful heh.

He's simply showing that it can be done...just like how that other dude showed he could run GameCube off of the PSP screen.

Pointless, yes. But just proves it can be done. Kinda like how you can run Windows 98 on the PSP.

Slow as friggin' hell, but shows it can be done.

Its the same person.

The dude who did gamecube is the same person who did this wii video.
