making my own prx [usbhost + media plugin]

Post by scarletxfi »

hello all..
I've looked all over the place and i have'nt seem to find a program that makes PSP prx.
I've a couple of ideas which i want to see get to work.
first of all.. I want to connect a keyboard (and possibly mouse) to the usb port {i've a cable where one side is USB-Female, the other is USB mini B) this can be useful in program such as DosBox, Afkim.. and maybe even replacing the OSK that there is now.
I'm thinking of a plugin (such as the VSH menu), that the psp will recognize the input from the keyboard.. is this possible? any suggestions?
Second, I noticed that some games use .bnk (bink movie files), so I'm thinking, if the game can read them.. why not make a prx plugin that can play BNK files thru the XMB?

making a prx which makes the usb port a "usbhost" will also be good (it will also work with any camera or any peripheral that would be added)
anyone know where i can find a file like this? or make one (which would be better)

I'm thinking this may be possible. for the psp camera and gps to work the psp needs to be a host.. Or am i mistaken?

btw I'm not new to the scene or c++. I'm new to PSP development.

appreciate the help..

You are totally mistaken on every count. Before posting yet another "wish list" totally divorced from reality, PLEASE read the old threads and use search. SHEESH!!

I think what J.F. was trying to say is that this sort of thing has been talked about loads of times,

You must start reading all the old threads and use search before making a thread like this,

Also try to remember this is a developers forum not a help forum,

Reading old threads and using search will do that for you,

It's not about bothering people it's about doing some reading and research first,

I still have not finished reading all the old threads and I had been reading them for months before I even joined,

Most of my posts have been here in this thread, lol

There's also TONS of example code, both in the ps2dev repo, and open source projects by various PSP authors scattered around the net.

What you were mistaken about is your ideas on the PSP USB. There's a reason no one has made a driver to allow you to use USB keyboards, mice, or cameras on the PSP... and it's not laziness. The issues have been discussed many time in the forum... that's where searching and reading old threads comes in.
