David made a program so you can use your (homebrew capable) PSP as joystick, neat – he writes – “This basically turns your PSP into a controller for your PC (running Windows). How it works is that PPJoy provides a way to create a virtual joystick. We can then communicate with this virtual joystick as though it were a real joystick. This is accomplished by running a server in Microsoft Windows. The server just runs in the background waiting for a connection. When you start the WiFiController program on your Sony PSP it will establish a network connection over wireless using infrastructure mode. Once it establishes a connection and obtains an IP address it will connect to the server running on your PC. Once it has connected to your PC it will act just like a regular joystick.” [via] – Link.

Cool stuff!
The musicians out there might also be interested in a little app I wrote which lets you use your PSP as both a MIDI controller and a mouse.
I just posted it up at http://e-mu.org
Heh, I made a similar thing over Bluetooth with a Python script on my N-Gage (it makes a decent gamepad :P) and a C++ server running on Linux. I don’t have a page for the software though…
