UPDATE: Reading your comments,
you sure do have a lot of questions about Fanjita and harleyg's piKey.
Anyhow, going over the noobz site, Fanjita posted some clarifications
regarding piKey. First off, he mentioned that right now, an IR keyboard
is your best option since USB keyboard support will likely be
impossible. |

you screwed up your psp's firmware rendering it unbootable. it then becomes as useful as a brick

Re: Max F. (QJ. NET Staff) - 2007-03-20 |

Bricked means you have damaged your electronic device to such an extent that it is about as useful as a pile of bricks. Hence, bricked. :)
It is a sad, sad thing to see. Even sadder to see the owner of a bricked PSP.

I didnt feel like flashing it so i tried just putting all the correct files on the memory stick. Turns out that most of the files read from flash and I didnt feel like editting them all. Im guessing this is only for infrared keyboards, meaning that it would have no use for me anyway. (atleast thats what i understood from reading the user guie)

even if u press O for no it still flashes it to ur flash0.......

Will this work with Belkin Wireless IR PDA Keyboard? I found one for 40$ US on google search and wanted to buy it for this. But it would be nice if I know first if this will work with it before I buy it. Thanks.

has anyone had any success with the palm one universal keyboard. i think i followed the instructions correctly but havent got it to work. i changed the keyboard from 15 to 20. and i'm using custom firmware 3.10 oe.
this is definately way cool, nice work dudes

For those that are unsure, this works hardware wise by allowing you to connect a keyboard to the PSP via 2 methods, either via an IR Keyboard or via a keyboard connected to the SIO (little connector next to jack on headphone remote) a cable and adapter will be needed for the SIO method, I guess you will need to read the instructions for which keyboards are actually supported and exactly what is needed for the sio->keyboard cable.
Well done HarleyG and Fanjita another fine piece of work :)

I think the staff or the Dev's are going to have to drop in
or update this post because we understand that keyboard
fuction is now possible but as you can tell, the majority of readers are still in the dark as to what keyboard and or adaptors to use. More information is required or at lest
more lamens termage and whatchamacallits ect. ect.. ect...
An adaptor for your 3.5 audio jack to serial port?
Serial port adaptor for USB/PS2 port for your keyboard
plug both adaptors together and into the PSP and keyboard?
Dunno really at this point and I'm not easily confused.
I hope we get more enlightenment from the Dev's or QJ
staff be it SPELLING it out for us via post update! ASAP!!!

I am using a Targus wireless keyboard for palm pilots and pocketpcs and it works. I get the right keys when they are typed. Space doesn't seem to work yet and i couldn't get it to work in the internet browser but keep up the good work and itl probably be soon!!!

Re: RoboticClone (Unregistered) - 2007-03-20 |

I have the same keyboard, I can't get it to work outside of the test program
|
Re: Fanjita - 2007-03-21 |
|

There are 2 space keys on the Targus, presumably with different keycodes. The left hand one works fine for me, the right-hand one does nothing.

I have the same issue. Same keyboard, only works in test program wtfrig?

I got it guys, I had to manually put the pikey.prx into either the KD or KS folder (dont know if those names are right but they began with K, and one of them already had pikey.prx) in the flash0. I put it in both K folders and it works now wooo awesome plugin guys. Now just make it work with Danzeffs keyboard and AFKIM and it'll be the best combo the PSP has ever seen.

saw this mod and went digging for my old internet t.v keyboard installed everything and nothing.
Has anyone got any idea as to what i need to enable or even what make my keyboard might be cause i have looked all over it and inside but cant find any names, it came with a bush tv box, perhaps its a bush.??
i dont know any ideas anyone??
Some help would be great as this would be amazing.
Thanks guys

What we need is a list of keyboards really work completely. So that we can all use this wonderful app. That would be nice. Thanks

Re: xKJTx - 2007-03-20 |

I just dont have any IR keyboards so i cant untill i buy one. So i would like to know at least one that really works before i buy it.

Re: Fanjita - 2007-03-21 |

To clarify things:
USB keyboards will probably never be usable on the PSP. It's USB port is not suitable. Forget it.
This is currently for IR keyboards, or serial terminal connections. Serial keyboards may be supported in the future, if someone develops a plugin or donates one for development.
The list of IR keyboards supported is the same as the list of keyboards supported by monsti's IR keyboard library (since that is what the plugin uses). The list available in the config (see pspirkeyb.ini in the ZIP) is presumably the list of what will work, although I've heard of problems at least with the Belkin.
The only IR keyboard used during testing was the Targus Universal Wireless keyboard, so that's the only one I can truly vouch for. See www.noobz.eu for links to it.

(i think) you could conceivably use this to make an adapter to use a gamepad on your psp.. by making a gamepad adapter for the SIO port.
either that or solder the gamepad buttons to a keyboard PCB

What the heck do they mean serial keyboards plug into headphone sockets? No they don't... Unless I missed something here. Can anyone clarify cuz I'm not getting this...
|
Re: FreePlay - 2007-03-20 |
|
|
The headphone/headset/remote control plug is a non-standard serial plug.
|
Re: DJ (Unregistered) - 2007-03-21 |
|
|
Look at the psp's headphone port. You see a circle, right? That's for the headphone. Next to it, there is a square, that is what the remote uses to control the psp. (correct me if im wrong) What the team did was add more functions to the port. If you dont know what it is then dont worry about it. Just use an infrared keboard.

psp 4.0 comes out in two weeks. Here are the features i know so far
*Built in tv tuner
* Radio
* Paint workshop
* Potoshop
* the ability to download previews of future movies
|
Re: DJ (Unregistered) - 2007-03-20 |
|
|
you are joking because I know for a fact that none of these are true except Photoshop because the psp doesnt have the hardware for this stuff and the (RSS) radio IS based on the homebrew radio, also it can download music and previews of movies and shows, etc. The built-in tv tuner is the location free player unless you are talking about watching t.v without a location free base (via add-on).
|
Re: Wicked Insider (Unregistered) - 2007-03-20 |
|

Well, lets just back up here. There is a SONY concept TV Tuner Duo card but, only in consept and far from production. FM band radio built in to the card. Paint Workshop and Photoshop, I've heard nothing yet of it and normally I'd have the scoop on it before others would but, wouldn't be a first. Oh and, ability to download previews of future movies?, whats this... we can already do so but, are you speaking by way of SONY home portal or via xmb? Doubtfull. 4.0 is around the corner but, it will still be another 3 mouths before that happens.

Re: Swifta (Unregistered) - 2007-03-20 |

Lol, what an asstard. This is a load of bull*****e.
You can't build in a tv tuner over the internet.
You can't build in an am/fm radio over the internet.
Whats the point of "Paint Workshop" if we have Photoshop? whats the point of Photoshop if we have "Paint Workshop"?
We can already download previews of movies.
Next time try and think of posting something believeable idiot.
Go outside, get a life. What a loser.

ur an idiot
TV tuner would require extra hardware. software is not hardware. firmware is software.

You're forgetting: we don't have Photoshop. We're getting Potoshop :P
