I have just borrowed my brother's PSP and love the way it hooks up to the PS3, especially being able to switch on the PS3 and share media anywhere with a Wi-Fi connection. I am now seriously considering buying a PSP, but then thought - "is this possible with my Diamond?".
I did a search on here but all the threads talked about using a WM6 phone as a bluetooth remote for the PS3 which is understandably difficult (as Sony use a non standard bluetooth protocol apparently, and they don't share it. But this didn;t answer my questions at all as I don't want to control via Bluetooth, I want to control via Wi-Fi exactly like remote play on the PSP.
Does anybody of any software that already exists? If not, do the excellent developers here know if this is even possible, or should I just buy a PSP?
Tversity can do this may be
that would be extremely cool!!
Let's face it, we're talking about Sony products here so it'll all be done with proprietary Sony protocols and interface (just like the non standard bluetooth protocol you mention) so I really wouldn't hold your breathe on this one. If Sony can come up with a way of needlessly locking people into their own proprietary equipment, peripherals and accessories they always do (and if they can use that to justify charging you a fortune on top of what you've already paid then that's just gravy) and I'll bet this will be no different.
And even if you did, by some miracle, get over that hurdle, nothing would display properly as the video stream from the PS3 will be designed with the PSP's screen in mind, and the Diamond screen isn't even the same shape never mind the same resolution.
Seriously guy, expecting developers here to somehow backwards engineer then redevelop a massive chunk of PS3 and PSP system software is just stretching things too far. If you want this functionality, go buy a PSP is my advice.
Good point, well made. Looked into TVERSITY too, thanks for the suggestion SOLSchweiz but that seams to just be able to stream from PC to any other device, not from PS3 so was worth looking but no good.
Think I will do was I was originally going to do anyway and buy a PSP like you suggest Medulla, but if anybody knows differently please shout up!
Im not sure if this helps, but some devs at another forum have found a way to use the sixaxis controller with windows over bluetooth. I use it all the time on my laptop for wireless play. Im pretty sure theyve mastered the device through a ton of hard work though.
I posted this as im pretty sure it shouldnt be too difficult to map the same signals over to this phone, its just a matter of understanding the buttons (17 buttons on the sixaxis in total)
Remote play connection between the ps3 and psp use wifi/internet anyways there is no bluetooth on the psp phat, but all remote control devices use bluetooth
well cell phones have 3g and wifi and can potentialy do this. There is a sony phone that has remote play intergrated. should get a dump of that device and try to port or reverse engineer it. http://www.ps3attitude.com/new/2009/05/sony-ericsson-launch-aino-ps3/ here is the link to an article about the new phone.
i have been reading online and found a few of the how to guides on how to do this but unfortunatley the download links are broken i was wondering if anyone here would be willing to put an up to date guide together .... i was also wondering is if you always need your evo conected to the ps3 for it to work or is a one time thing ...also would like to know by doing this would i loose the ability to play games online with the ps3
with any console modding you may lose the ability to play online. I say may only because some games and consoles like the wii dont have checks to make sure you are not modded. the ps3 however i am sure has checks built in and will make it so you have to run a certain version to be able to play online, however there are some fixes to get the latest versions and still maintain modding functionality. This is my experiance with modding the wii but i am sure most still applies across all consoles.
yea i already have the wii mod .... pointless since the wii isnt ever used in my house id much rather have the ps3 mod and if possible to still play online that would be great knowledge
I wouldn't risk playing online with a mod. One update from sony will **** you up. Just like it did for hundreds of thousands of xbox owners. Not only did their live account get terminated, but they also got their hwid blacklisted.

no it doesnt need to stay connected. the files are out there an there are guides on this very forum and if your running 3.42 your screwed for the moment.
Firmware 3.42 means you're already SOL and have updated too far.
If you were 3.41 you could still use the jailbreak. You just need to be running the jailbreak kernel on your phone momentarily while you start up the PS3. Once it's on you can unplug the phone and return it to normal, but you will have to repeat every time you turn the PS3 off and on.
Also the workarounds for remaining able to play online have been defeated as well, so basically you have to have 3.41 or older and you can no longer go online at all (well do stuff that needs PSN)
Hello All.
I'm new to the forum and I've been messing around with my MOJO for about a week now since I received it in the mail. I have been plagued with a couple issues, but the experience has been overall positive. I updated the firmware and rooted it using Mad Catz's tutorial. And recently I noticed the new OS upgrade by Unjustified Dev. I haven't decided whether I want to move forward with it yet, because it does void the warranty after all.
I downloaded a boatload of apps and games to play around with. So far no issues until 2 days ago when the MOJO started freezing. It would sometimes get stuck and then eventually respond, but other times it would freeze entirely. It froze 3 times yesterday and 2 times today before I gave up with it. Not sure what to do. Should I upgrade to the new unofficial OS, or should I just return the MOJO?
I also made a quick review of the MOJO a couple days ago before the freezing began happening. See it at /watch?v=MjALrGzpQ4A
The video shows the PSX to USB adapter I tested with much success! As well as a webcam that works with video AND microphone audio. I just can't figure out how to get it to work with Skype and Messenger, as if it were a built-in camera like any other smartphone.
I had constant freezes too using the official software. I upgraded to CyanogenMod 12.1 and it has never frozen since.
Edit: I moved this post over to the CM12.1 thead instead because it was more relevant.
UPDATE: I upgraded to CM12.1 by Unjustified Dev and it works great. Unfortunately I had some trouble getting it to work in the beginning but it seems to function perfect now. It still works with the PSX to USB adapter, but I have yet to try it with a webcam.
Hi all,
I've only had my MOJO for a week or two at this point, but I wanted to throw my two cents in since I had the freezing and didn't end up updating to one of unjustified's roms yet (although I did root with towelroot).
I noticed the freezing occasionally when I had the MOJO multitasking quite a bit.
Restarting the MOJO once a day or so seems to have kept the freezing at bay. I have limitless remote service installed so I can control the MOJO with my phone to save controller battery, so I just use that to restart the thing if I remember or if I feel like it needs it. Being an "always on device" I'm not sure if the caches being cleared etc. is what the issue was, but since I've been restarting the MOJO on a regular basis (much the way I do with my phone) it hasn't really been an issue.

The freezing only started for me about the same time (after 2 weeks from purchase). But after upgrading to CM12, I can confidently say that it is far superior to the Mad Catz stock version of Android, and its totally reversible. If you need any further assistance on how to get it installed, I can help. However, I didn't do the towelroot way, I used USB-USB.
I actually didn't even know that Remix 2.0 was a thing. And now that I know, I may try installing it on my old Dell netbook. Windows Starter ran like crap, but Ubuntu worked better. I can only hope that Remix 2.0 will run even more smoothly.

Hey, thanks for talking about the peripherals here and in your video. I went ahead and got the playstation to usb adapter. I just need to keymap the dual-shock 2's, and 4-player games can be a thing without having to buy more controllers.
Another side-note: I believe you were speculating in your video about if an optical drive would work with the MOJO? I tested mine out (LG GP50NB40) , but couldn't get it to work with or without extra external power. I did find out that Samsung makes one specifically meant to mount on Android devices that's supposed to work on the Nvidia Shield, so I imagine that one works.

I saw, somewhere on the TransformerForums, a post about that--some optical drives can be set to work with Android. (Asus Transformers, at least the older ones, are Tegra-powered Droids). If I get time I'll try to find the post, not right now for sure. Google is a good friend of mine...

Yes, I was extremely surprised that the PSX to USB adapter worked so perfectly. I do wonder if you could get 2 of them and connect them to powered USB hub and get all 4 wired controllers to be registered.
FYI, I found out recently that you can actually stream ROM files through ES File Explorer using any of Robert Broglia's emulators on a DLNA/uPnP server, which is AWESOME! That means you could have multiple Android devices streaming games to multiple emulators all from one place, without needing to be directly connected.

This is the video I saw regarding the external optical drive: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yvoyab75QgQ
It may be a FAT32 format issue.
What I found on transformerforums.com was a link:

I checked Amazon, it's available in black or white, a bit over US$100.

Thanks for posting this, that's a good find. I guess it's just a question of if a person's needs justify paying a bit more for a bluray drive that won't let them watch bluray's on the MOJO legally. Even if that's not a consideration, it's a clear case of proprietary garbage rearing it's self-eating head again. I digress.
It almost seems just a matter of time before Google builds this into a future version of Android (unless physical media sales continue to be replaced by digital).
Here's the Samsung DVD drive demo'd on the Shield TV that I was mentioning above: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnwynmT8GVI
Apparently, Samsung has been quick to make Android compatible optical drives to enhance their Galaxy brand: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2406001,00.asp

I'm thinking the question is why Google hasn't added the few necessary drivers & codecs to Android to support optical drives natively--maybe just to support Samsung's market corner? Or simply not enough interest? It's not a big deal for me, I'd as soon rip a dvd and watch the resulting mp4, store the source dvd for backup purposes. But that's not quite so easy for Windows users, they must pay for an effective dvd ripper, while Linux has several open-source ones. I like Handbrake.

I was gonna start a new thread to post about this but I searched DVD and this active thread will do as well as any, I suppose. Hopefully this interests someone!
Earlier today I figured out how to watch encrypted (DRM) retail DVD movies by sharing my PC's DVD drive on my SMB network. My PC is wired via ethernet but the MOJO is fully wifi. The same trick should work for a lot of Blu-Ray and all HD-DVD discs.
First off, I tried just sharing the optical drive on the network. Sorta worked, I could view the files but I couldn't play the movie. So I did a bit more research and figured out that Android doesn't have anything to decrypt your DVD's DRM (as some of you have noted) so I went back to the drawing board. Eventually I came across a Windows program called AnyDVD HD that decrypts DVDs, Blu-Rays, and HD-DVDs on the fly, seconds after you pop them into the drive. I downloaded and installed version 7.3.0.0 from a certain torrent site, you know the one. Don't worry, AnyDVD is no longer in business because they weren't allowed to be making the program in the first place, so you couldn't buy the program if you tried. Installed and patched AnyDVD HD, popped in my retail Scarface anniversary edition DVD and voila! Starts up and plays in seconds via Kodi. Even gets rid of those pesky trailers and FBI warnings. Like I said, this should work with most if not all DVDs and HD-DVDs. Blu-Rays are a little more hit or miss because as I understand it, with each new release they tweak the DRM a bit making it hard for programs like this to keep up.
It might not be as streamlined as having an external plugged directly into it, but for as often as I watch physical media I don't mind walking 20 ft over to my PC and popping the disc in the drive. Hopefully this is useful to everyone! If anyone has questions, feel free to ask!
EDIT: I'm thinking about maybe starting a YouTube channel for MOJO/possibly just general Android Box discoveries, and tips and tricks I've learned. Is this interesting to anyone/would anyone want to contribute?

Excellent work! If I thought I got surprised finding out about streaming shared ROM files, through ES File Explorer, directly to any of Robert Broglia's emulators. That totally blows my mind. But streaming DVD's wirelessly from one device to another? LOL Hot damn.
Technology... you scare me sometimes.
I've spent the last day or so researching android tv boxes, and decided that I'm probably going to splash out a little more than I originally budgeted for and go for a shield tv box. only it's starting to become clear that watching channel 4 on demand content in full screen on my tv is STILL going to be a giant pain in the arse.
I've used the search function and found a few mentions about this, but nothing conclusive. so what I'd like to know is, for the uk on demand services that aren't available for android tv, which ones do work when you sideload them from either the google play store or the amazon app store?
specific to all 4 (formerly 4od), I've heard that it doesn't work on rooted devices, when you sideload it from the amazon store it's stuck in portrait, and it only works over wifi or mobile data.
could I sideload it from the play store, then on a rooted shield tv, could I install xposed framework and use modules to hide root from the all 4 app and also make the app think that it's running on a tablet or phone?
alternatively, can I convince my girlfriend to just stop watching bloody hollyoaks, because anything worth watching on all 4 gets uploaded to other streaming sites anyway?
Honestly, mine is rooted and All4 still runs, it's just crap. Better to cast from a laptop or phone.
I have had the nexus player for past 4 years. I use it not so frequently, but it stays upto date.
Recently I wanted to cast videos from my laptop-chrome browser to Nexus Player(like chromecast), and found that the google chrome doesn't identify the Nexus Player in the network. I can see from my router, that laptop and Nexus Player are in same network. I can connect my remote app from android/iphone to the player. But I am not able to cast from any device.
Is this something Google has intentionally done? Any ideas on how I can work around this?
Cheers!!
you should see if the antivirus blocks your chrome, since the antivirus protects the local network
Surprised yours is still working. I suspect Google is intentionally nuking Nexus Players. Many people complaining as of August of boot loops and bricked players.

I use android tv 7.0 stock, I playing great the nexus, I have no blockages or anything else, it works perfect
