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. |

im a bit confused. is this the dream we have been waiting for? does that mean we can use most keyboards to use it on the psp even on the internet?!
am i really first? usually this comment section would get flooded by the time I get to a new article. What the hell happened? If you are staring because you are shocked that it finally came, then snap out of it!!!
this is amazing although I wish i could understand it some more.. Does this mean that we can plug in any standard usb keyboard to the psp?
im going to buy an ir keyboard right now
i jus bricked my 7 month old psp.
get updates and tutorials at avenger.hacker.googlepages.com
Now we just need a mouse and we can play FPS games with online like on the PC... Almost like a hack but it isn't... Hmmm.
What does bricked mean? I'm new to this, thanks. :)
you screwed up your psp's firmware rendering it unbootable. it then becomes as useful as a brick
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.
So QJ.net staff does indeed read our comments.
a bricklayer wouldnt say a 'pile' of bricks was useless, i think it just means one brick! lol. otherwise it would be bricksed. numbnuts!
makes me wanna collect all the bricks and make a psp house.
we need usb keyboard support -.-
do you see a usb type A socket on the psp??? c'mon.
... but I do have the right set of converters to let me plug any USB device into the PSP's plug.
hey it's me ABC!!! so how do i work this? i dont really get it
why, do u have a mini b connected keyboard....or a re u gonna have to go buy one same as IR or Wireless.......wither way its gonna cost...IR isnt a srestrictive as wired tho
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.......
Which keyboard should i get now? I'm not sure which to get.
yeah usb support would be nice... but great work anyway, tkx
Which keyboard should i get now? I'm not sure which to get.
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!!!
this is the best news i have seen all month. id just like to say greatjob to the devs and keep it up. all i need is for someone to make a word pad homebrew app and im happy :)
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!!!
I have the same keyboard, I can't get it to work outside of the test program
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
but you should help out too if you can.
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.
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...
The headphone/headset/remote control plug is a non-standard serial plug.
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
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).
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.
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
no FirmWare is Firmware
this is the first time ever (that I remember) to see no "first poster" crap here (or the 2nd or 3rd poster etc.) I think I made a difference. It's either that or it's because the news is so confusing and/or shocking to believe instantly. I mean, come on, a dream that we all have been waiting for finnally comes true and yet you still think it's a dream? We never knew this was in development the whole time so it's a HUGE surprise to see the start of the POC (Proof Of Concept) become like this and be able to use this almost anywhere (currently).
arent you the person who posted the first reply to the firt post? ya i think so so maybe you should go read what you said there before you talk about no first posts
He replyd to himself about how there were no posts but his. Not about "Im First" crap that everyone does.
i mean even if there is a quality first post there would still be 2nd poster and 3rd etc crap.
Does this work with Danzeff's homebrew AFKIM?? if it does, that'll probably be the most useful homebrew ever.
To work with AFKIM unaltered, it needs a Danzeff output plugin for piKey, which is planned but not yet completed.
Alternatively, AFKIM could be altered to use the piKey API directly, which would be more efficient if Danzel is willing to make the changes.
Well... i've got a BT keyboard T_T. Hmmm with a uC adapter one could basically plug anything in (digital).
Dose it work for you with this program?
Sweet! Fanjita, can you get a SIXAXIS to connect to the PSP?
what
we could already do this with IRShell...
z0mfg do you feel 1337?
Can you clerify a bit more on doing this with IRshell? And what keyboard did you use?
"...this plugin supports input via Serial I/O cable..."
Could this be reworked to be a monitor output?
I think the only reason it was possible is that the serial was already used for input from the little PSP remote thing.
Its cool that fanjita and the other dude are still in the homebrew scene. Way to go guys but i'll never use this app I dont know what kind of keybord will fit in the psp usb.But if i find one ill let u guys know. But thank you guys for still making cool apps for us losers thank you all coders out there....
its either infrared (which is simpler and located at the top of the psp) or serial (located in the headphone port)
Could we use this app without having to flash it? Like putting the plugins in the seplugins folder on the memory stick and enabeling it in recovery mode?
Nice job anyway.
In other words that's flashing it.
that isnt flashing it, thats writing to the memory card. as it stands you need to write it to flash0
.. enabling it in recovery mode is flashing it.
no it isnt
flashing is enabling usb flash0 and dragging the files in through recovery
hes talking about activating the files as plugins
i'm retarded.
that would be awsome if this could lead to a wireless ps2 controller...that would be sick...!!!!!
It's utter *****. The PSP is SUPPOSED to be portable. What the ***** do you think the last P stands for?
Nice work... NOT. Try again.
I swear, I create better crap when I'm on the toilet.
Do you even have a clue how hard typing on the PSP is?
For most people its a pain in the arse.
dude, what the hell?!!? whats your problem?!!? this is gonna be a great app if they can get it workin really well. just because their makin it possible to use a keyboard on the PSP doesnt make it any less portable. have you ever heard of docking stations for laptops? they dont make em any less portable, their just addons for when your not goin places. stop gettin on peoples cases for things until you actually think about what their doing.
lol, poor bastard, leave him alone..
Hes a DS fanboy just trying to stoke flames, thats or he is a colossal ass hole reguardless, pay no attention and move on.
So, the folding IR keyboard I have, that's basically the same size as the PSP, is not portable? Might wanna get some clues before spouting off.
i can take my old wireless keyboard out of the closet and use it again...!! and yeah it is portable if you're not too lazy to carry it :)
Who are you talking about? Fanjita and harleyg did what Sony obviously didnt do by allowing us the use of a keyboard. And your saying its crap? I disagree. Good job, i hope the PalmOne Keyboard will work, because thats what im going to buy
I still remeber when Sony denied Logitec(?) the code for their awsome keyboard. I still dont know why sony did that. Sony can do it themsevles and besides, if the company that made the keyboard releases the source code then sony knows who did it and sue them big time (which might not really happen)
