Homebrew developer zx-81 just rolled out a new build of pet application PSPSSH over at QJ.NET PSP Development Forum bringing it up to version 1.0.9.

For the uninitiated, before we proceed, PSPSSH is a SSH2 client for the PlayStation Portable based from Matt Johnston's server and client Dropbear v0.48.1. With this program, users are given remote access to their SSH-enabled PC units.

This allows them to enter commands and run scripts from the handheld as if they're exactly right in front of their personal computers. We listed down the changelog for this version provided by zx-81:

• Add iso8859-1 characters support in vt100 emulation
• Add word.txt file to paste words in vt100 console (words in this file can be written using UTF8/unicode)
• All text fonts are now compatible with iso8859-1 characters
• Add all iso8859-1 characters in Danzeff virtual keyboard
• Bug fix in IR keyboard .ini files with UTF8 specification (for example mapping string such as "u+c3a0" didn't work properly)
• New Targus mapping with French characters mapped from ALT 1 up to ALT - (see targus-include.ini file for more details)

Please refer to the Readme.txt file included in the download before installing and running the client on your PSP units to avoid any problems. The download package below includes builds compatible with FW 1.5, CFW 3.xx OE, as well as the source code.

Homebrew coder Zx-81 dropped by QJ.NET PSP Development Forum and announced a surprise build for application PSPSSH, bumping it up to v1.0.8. We say surprise because if we recall correctly, the developer mentioned that v1.0.7 was going to be the last release.

It's certainly a surprise, and a very welcome one at that. Anyway, PSPSSH is a SSH2 client for the PlayStation Portable. It is actually a port of Matt Johnston's server and client Dropbear v0.48.1 running on a variety of POSIX-based platforms.

With this program, users gain remote access to their PC units allowing them to enter various commands and run scripts. Here are the following improvements to PSPSSH v1.0.8:

• Add splash screen on startup
• Add Clear key in Danzeff keyboard (useful to clear a field in the login menu)
• IR keyboard enhancement with new short keys inside menus
• Support Sprint PDA keyboard (thanks to Craig)
• Use new SDK wifi functions
• Update help / README files
• Bug fix and Code cleaning

The download package below contains builds compatible to FW 1.5 and CFW 3.xx OE. It also contains the source code of the program. Please be sure to refer to the Readme file included in the download for instructions and other important details.

Homebrew coder zx-81 has just released a new version of PSPSSH, a homebrew app that gives PSP owners remote access to their PCs. According to zx-81, this should be the last release of PSPSSH - barring any major bugs.

PSPSSH is a PSP port of Matt Johnston's Dropbear SSH2 server and client - to be specific, version 0.48.1 of the Dropbear client. With PSPSSH, you can enter commands and run scripts through your PSP as if you were actually sitting in front of your PC and flailing away at the keyboard.

This new update bumps PSPSSH's version up to version 1.0.7. The biggest thing here is that the lag issue encountered while using an IR keyboard or a virtual keyboard has been fixed. Aside from the lag being gone, a couple more fixes have been introduced in this update. Here's the changelog:

• Fix lag issue while using IR keyboard or Virtual keyboard
• Update targus keymap file
• Text console is now really Fullscreen

Before you install and use PSPSSH, be sure to read the README.txt file included in the download. For bug reports, questions and suggestions, click on the "Visit" link below to discuss this release on QJ.NET's PSP Development forums.

Homebrew developer Zx-81 dropped by QJ.Net PSP Forum just now and updated his pet application PSPSSH. The program is a PSP port of Matt Johnston's Dropbear v0.48.1 that allows users remotely connect to their Linux-based PC units through a WiFi connection.

Currently in v1.0.6, there's actually just one very important thing that has been added to PSPSSH and that is IR keyboard support. This new feature is based on the PSP IR Keyboard Library developed by Harald Fielke.

The keyboard tested by Zx-81 with this release was a Targus Universal IR Wireless keyboard. The download below contains two versions of the application, one for FW 1.5 users and another for those who have firmwares 3.xx OE. Those of you who want to tweak the program to their own liking may do so as the source code has also been provided.

Please refer first to the Readme file before installing this on your PSP. All information you need regarding installation and other important details can be found there.

Homebrew developer Zx-81 dropped by our QJ.Net PSP forums a while ago and released a new version of PSPSSH: SSH2 Client for PSP. The application is actually a port of DropBear v0.48.1.

What PSPSSH does is to allow users to remotely connect to their Linux-based PC units through a WiFi connection. Once this is installed in your PlayStation Portables (PSP), you will be able to run scripts and input commands to read emails using text-based tools, watch log files, restart services, and edit configuration files among others.

PSPSSH: SSH2 Client for PSP is currently on version 1.0.5 and the complete changelog is as follows:

• Improve vt100 emulation, the following attributes are now supported:
• Underline
• Blink
• Brightness
• Bug fix in vt100 colors
• Little modification of the keyboard mapping depending on usage frequency, for example it's now easier to use keys '' and '|'.

The download below contains two versions of the application, one for FW 1.5 users and another for those who have firmwares 3.xx OE, as well as the source code. Please browse through the accompanying Readme files for more instructions and information.

Over at the QJ.Net Forums, homebrew coder Zx-81 has announced that PSPSSH is now at version 1.0.3. As freyyr890 explained in version 1.0.2, this homebrew application is "a protocol for remotely using the command line on a system, primarily Linux systems."

This allows your PSP to issue command lines to your Linux, Unix, or Windows systems (provided they're running on an SSH server) so long as you have an internet connection.

PSPSSH is Zx-81's PSP port of the Dropbear SSH2 Server and Client by Matt Johnston, with PSPSSH specifically a port of client version 0.48.1. Moving on to version 1.0.3's changelog:

• New Danzeff keyboard layout (alt keys are now available)
• New option to save the vt100 screen as a text file.
• New login menu (more friendly, and with new options)
• Improve vt100 emulation (for example, the nano editor works fine now)
• As Matt Johnston advised me, I've added a new initial random seed generation, using keystroke latency (you have now to press psp keys randomly, the first time you run PSPSSH).
• Bug fix in random number generator
• Bug fix in key send function
• Bug fix in vt100 emulator
  

Full installation instructions, usage details, and changelog lists are available in the download pack. Also, the maker of this application has included a rather comprehensive readme, so do make sure to go over those notes first. Should you have any complaints, comments or praises for this brew, just head over to the the release thread via the link below, and join the discussions. Lastly, Zx-81 has also provided for PSPSSH v1.0.3's source code, for the sake of the curious souls wondering how this app works from within.

PSP homebrew coder Zx-81 is apparently taking a break from PSP game emulators to let us in on something equally (if not more) lucrative: PSPSSH version 1.0.2.

This homebrew application is Zx-81's PSP version of Matt Johnston's Dropbear SSH2 Server and Client, which was originally built to run on a variety of POSIX-based platforms. As Zx-81 explains, "PSPSSH is a port of the client version 0.48.1 to the PSP," with v1.0.2 carrying this latest changelog:

• As Matt Johnston advice me, a new random number generator has been integrated (it's a unix like /dev/random generator). This version is now more secure, since the entropy of the random number generator is higher.
• Add option for binary id_rsa key file support, for priv/pub RSA key pair authentication. (See README for details)
• Add option to disable remote server version check
• Add option to change PSP CPU Clock
• New Danzeff keyboard layout, control keys are now available, and unused keys have been removed.
• Control keys and arrow keys support
• Improved communication speed !
• Add scroll up and scroll down feature
• A cursor is now displayed in the console window
• Bug fix and code cleaning
  

Full installation instructions, author accreditation, and application usage details await in the file bundle's text files - we strongly advise users to read through them first. There's also Zx-81's release thread over at the QJ.Net Forums, which makes for a good source of information and extra pointers. Also included is PSPSSH version 1.0.2's source code, which should make for good reading for the guys who would like to study how it works. Enjoy your download!
