PSP IR Shell and smart TVs

[thekarter104]

Hello.
It's been ages since I used IR Shell on the PSP and I don't know if I still have it. What I remember is that I used it on an old CRT back in the day.

Does IR Shell work on modern smart TVs? I have an LG OLED and the magic remote died. Buttons have to hard press and sometimes it doesn't turn on or off.

Thanks in advance. Also a reason to use my PSP-1000 again.

IR SHELL was an awesome program. I used it ALOT. Powered up my PS2 and TVs with it. Infrared is still used to power on TVs. It seems to be the only thing that stays "awake" when the TV is off. I'm sure, that if you have the right code, you'll be able to use it on your current TV. I traded my 1000 for a 2000, then a 3000. I now have a PSVita1001. Getting a code might be the tricky part. You may have to alter an existing rdf file, but it would be worth the effort to get it working.

My LG from a couple of years ago with a magic remote still uses IR, I dont even bother with that remote and just use a Harmony Universal remote.

The issue though will be the IR codes.

Alternatively, there is an app:
