Lua PC Remote Viewer


Sanguinus has just informed us via our forums about his latest release which he calls the "LUA screen shot viewer thing," or in more *ehem* techie terms, he calls the Lua PC Remote Viewer.

He said he was originally trying to set up VNC (the thing that allows PSP control via WiFi) but he was unsuccessful at that so he worked on the PC Remote Viewer instead. So anyway, what does this app do? Basically, it takes screenshots and sends them through USBhostfs or Nethostfs (untested yet) to your PSP and updates them about twice a second. For the next version, he's planning to add mouse control as well.

Got it? Good. Sanguinis says that this has only been tested on USBhostfs because he couldn't set up Nethostfs on his PC. Also, the EXE was programmed on VB6 and was tested on Windows Vista RC1 should work on most versions of Windows. This is his first Lua project so he's asking you guys to be kind and not flame him if you find bugs. And as usual, feedback and comments from you guys would be highly appreciated so if you can, please drop him a line at our forums, which you can access via the link below.

Installation instructions:
  • unzip the zip file into the folder which your psp sees when you go into net/usb hostfs. Start usb/net hostfs. Run the exe in the luaplayer/applications/screenshot/ folder this is what sends the pics and acts as a psp visible mouse.
  • Open usb/net hostfs.
  • Run the eboot in the luaplayer folder.
  • It should run if you get an error mentioning JPG then try again it just means the EXE and the PBP are out of sync.
By the way, Sanguinus leaves us with the following note: "by decreasing 10 it goes faster but will reduce stability by increasing it, it will become more stable but the screen will refresh less often."

This looks really nice but the only thing is ,...it has no purpose. Until Mouse Control is added, all it does is preview your pc screen. But hey, once the mouse control works, then this will be a very usefull app.

from what I can tell, all this EXE does is rapidly save JPGs to the PSP memory stick, then the program loads them 1 by 1...

mouse support = not even close

 » This app is terrible.

If you can't even set up VNC right, you fail at the internet. Please stay way from the computer.
