Hardware Kid Uses PSP to Play Wii

[[M]artin]

No, as much as we'd like to see it happen, this isn't some kind of monster emulation effort. Instead, an intrepid young -- and we mean young: his YouTube display name is "obiwan222222" -- PSP Fanboy has managed to get his PlayStation Portable to act as a screen for his Wii using Sony's LocationFree Player solution for the PSP. By patching through the PSP to LocationFree and by sticking what looks like a custom made Wii sensor above the console, the PSP can display the Wii's output using its WiFi to connect to the internet video stream, and a spare Wiimote to control the cursor. Unfortunately, this solution is far from practical, as there's an built-in lag of around 6 seconds: not something you want when playing twitch games. Besides the actual concept, the best part about the walkthrough video (which is after the break), is Obiwan22's narration. One typical quote for you: "I am not some kind of genius. I just want to make a statement [to show] what you can do with your LocationFree Player!" Aww, bless.

I hope you're joking. All the proof you'll ever need is right there.

Kinda sucks that you get about 6 seconds of lag while playing Wii games on the PSP screen, though.

[EDIT]: These child geniuses are gonna take over the world someday, I swear.

i thought it was fake at first but then i listend to him and watched iot more closely i changed my mind

Its justs a video he is playing on the psp and he is acting like he is doing it with a wii remote but in reality its just a video.


It is indeed FAKE

 

[thegame07]

thats what i thought ? he might use the 6 sec lag thing so he does not get caught out.

 

[[M]artin]

Note his hand movements and how he controls the on-screen cursor with the Wiimote. It's realer than Kraft Cheese.

i dont understand why people rip the psp look what its capable of doing. the psp is much more powerfull than the nds. I like them both. The psp is no where near sh**. also most people who rip it have not even played more than one game or even in some cases even played a psp at all.

 

[TLSpartan]

why do you own a psp and come on to gbatemp(notice the GBA part). and then bag the shit out of ds's.

 

[Opium]

hehe, now I want my psp to have the wii channel interface
