Wiimote control the PSP

by Jedwin Celestino { Sep 9th 2007 at 8:00AM }

You've seen the PSP controlled by an Xbox 360 controller. You might have even seen the PSP controlled by a DualShock. Now see the PSP controlled by a Wii remote instead! It's as simple as connecting your homebrew enabled PSP to your PC wirelessly, then your Wii remote to the PC via Bluetooth, and finally having the PC translate the Wii remote information into PSP controls somehow. That is to say, it's not very simple and rather cumbersome. But at least it's possible, and that's the important part.

Is the Wiimote just as lame on the PSP?

Uh... he plugged the Wiimote into the power plug? This smells like fake :)

Well, I don't think it's real but if it were, why wouldn't you use a Sixaxis instead? It's still nice though to see that at least one person bought Driver..

I would think the Wii remote's tilt would be a bit more responsive than the nub

But wouldn't there be too few buttons for full control?

"I would think the Wii remote's tilt would be a bit more responsive than the nub"

You'd be wrong. The Wii-mote has a higher latency.

I dont get it, the PSP is on the floor/desk right?

so that means the wii-remote is tilted forward. I didnt know the wii remote could read the tilt while in that pisition.

If its tilted forward or backwards, shouldnt the wii remote be tilted from up and down? instead of side by side?

If you dont understand what I mean (I dont thnk I even understand lol) this is a video showing how tilting is on the wii remote:

or is the psp stuck on a wall? oO

@ White-Sharingan,

You can judge from the reflection that the PSP is stuck on the wall. (From what i can see the reflection could be a side window of the house). The person demonstrating also seem to be in an upright position.

Cheers.

Wow, now there really is no difference between wii and PSP games.

aislesomething @ Sep 10th 2007 4:44PM

Oh, mr nimblewick.

You're so witty and original with your casual response to the Wii being graphically inferior to the other next-gen consoles. And here's the icing on the cake, you graphically compare Wii games to PlayStation 1 games. Hahaha, haven't heard that before.

...jebus.

@ aislesomething:

What are you rambling on about?

Mr Khan @ Sep 10th 2007 6:27PM

@ Tahiri

Tell that to Sonic and the Secret Rings, although a latency might appear in this twisted control-relay and emulation sequence

pixelator @ Sep 10th 2007 8:41PM

Not only is the Wiimote motion input high latency, but it's imprecise as hell. I'm no fan of the DS touchscreen for gaming, but I'd rather go THAT route than this bizarre concoction.

Totally useless as anything but a timewasting exercise.

@nimbewick:

Well, the Wii IS graphically inferior to other next-gen consoles. I've had one since launch and other than the occasional Wii Sports fest, RE4 and the rather excellent Zelda, little interests me on the platform.

I mean, yeah, bashing the Wii is pointless in this particular thread, but if the shoe fits...
