Now better than ever — Dashhacker’s Open Remote Play v1.2 BETA. All you Windows users, you’re going to dig this one… Most notably ORP v1.2 introduces support for the SIXAXIS/DS3 controller, the required driver is included for Windows, and on the Mac, it just works. Also added is mouse support and a much-improved full-screen mode. Check the change log for the rest…

ORP v1.2 changes…

• Vastly improved full-screen mode. Scales video to desktop resolution, much faster and now works as expected under Windows.
• Added proper padding for audio/video packets. This fixes the random read access violation crashes under Windows.
• Added support for SIXAXIS/DS3.
• Added mouse support.
• Added SELECT (F3) and START (F4) keyboard mappings.
• Fixed CTRL-key issues, thanks to lethalwp for the patch.
• And more…

Get it while it’s hot… ORP 1.2 is the last official release for awhile. Cheers!

Update: My bad… Forgot the README.txt in the Win32 archive. It’s included now, and for those who have already downloaded it, see here.

Here you go — Open Remote Play for both the Mac and Windows. And not only that — Dashhacker has released the source code. So if you’re a developer and wish to contribute: visit the Open Remote Play Google Code project page. Your efforts are greatly appreciated. And remember, you read it here first. Boom, posted.

Open Remote Play v1.1; things you should know:

1. ORP v1.1 introduces game launching, video scaling (1.5x & 2x size), full screen mode, and many bug fixes.
2. The Mac version, awesome, absolutely awesome. Little bit of key lag… Not much.
3. Windows, well some of you may have issues, some may not… In our case we’ve tested XP, it seems to work fine with some minor issues. Vista, not so much — seems to bail on something… Maybe someone can test and report their experiences below or in the forums. Windows 7 (64bit) users — it works. You may need to resize the Window (drag the bottom right corner) to see the “Save”, “Delete”, and “Cancel” options when editing your ORP profile.

What’s planned? Check this –

• Add joystick support with a default SIXAXIS/DS3 button map.
• Add proper audio+video synchronization (added a quick hack for now).
• Add ability to set/manage buffering and bit-rate profiles.
• Add error messages to the player instead of just bailing silently.
• Implement power-on support.
• Clean-up and document API.

Update: It’s out… And ORP still works.

Uh oh… Big Trouble in Little China? What’s Sony up to… PS3 Firmware 2.76 — it’s just around the corner.

This is a minor update that improves the playback quality of some PS3 format software.

Drum roll please… You’re about to experience Remote Play like never before — on your [Intel-based] Mac, that is.

First and foremost, you will need access to a hacked PSP to export the remote play settings. All that’s included in the download package.

Open Remote Play Howto:

1. If you have not done so already, register your PSP with your PS3 for Remote Play.
2. Copy the ORP_Export folder (it’s included) to your PSP under /PSP/GAME
3. Run Open Remote Play Export on your PSP. This will create a file on the memory stick called export.orp. Copy this file to your PC.
4. Run the ORP GUI and click on Import, locate and import export.orp. You will have to manually change the IP address of your PS3, by default it will be set to 0.0.0.0. I keep two profiles, one for local LAN and another for when I’m connecting from the Internet. You can create multiple profiles by simply changing the Name field and clicking Save.
5. Click Import again, this time locate and import “keys.orp.” You only have to do this once for a new installation, or if there is a key update.
6. Select a profile, cross your fingers, and click Launch!

Dashhacker strongly encourages you read the included README.txt before proceeding; remember, this is beta.

The API and Windows player will be available within a week. Enjoy — now lets get drunk, beers on Dashhacks tonight!
