Hacking Play PC games in PSP?

[Nikoxlas]

Hi guys I will get a new battery pack for my PSP and I want to know something:

I heard that I can control the PC with my PSP with some kind of software, the question is, can I play games of PC using the PSP? I mean, for example, can I assign some computer keys to the PSP buttons and play Minecraft and seeing it in the PSP?

Maybe it sounds weird or dumb, but I really wondered about it.

Thank you for reading

Sounds like to want to stream your PC screen to the PSP, in which case https://jjs.at/software/pspdisp.html seems to be what you need.

Hopefully someone with actual PSP knowledge will be able to confirm this. I just thought of what terms to ask Google…

Thank you a lot, I also wonder if there's some way to control it via Wifi? (for example, using the mobile data of the phone with the PSP so I can control the PC when I'm not in home)

To do it via wifi would be a concept known as VNC (virtual network control) or possibly RDP (Microsoft's remote desktop protocol, though you can only host connections on the non home versions of Windows as they save it for businesses).

I can't say I ever went looking for the PSP but given we had it in several different ways for the DS (which has a touchscreen and thus 10 times more useful for what I wanted) then I would be surprised if one was not made.

That said I would surprised if it was secure (you could always VPN into your house via your phone and then VNC "internally") and if it is of the era then I doubt it handles directX (which is to say 3d) content that well -- most basic ones then, and to this day, will probably just leave you with a black screen.
You might be able to do some kind of quasi streaming video (as in think OBS) and then overlay controls as screen streaming has got an awful lot better in recent years.

There are also some takes on VNC controlled via web browser, not sure if the PSP browser can handle them though.
