I'm playing around with the IR port and seeing all the other demos that are flying about it looked pretty fun. I'm still slowly working my way through the PSP dev world.
Something that I thought would be fun and useful to make is an IRLearner. The idea is that you could place an IR remote infront of the psp it would be able to capture the information and then send out a duplicate of that information back out.
In theory, you could then expand it with profiles and other such stuff so that you'd be able to control multiple devices with the PSP, slap on a nice GUI and it'd be a simple yet handy app... anyway as this is my first attempt I'd like to ask a question:
This is my source so far (as you can see I've only been playing for an hour, and it's mainly a rip off of other code, like shines! thanks man! You've been so much help!):
