cant wait to try this out mane good work

Happy Hump Day!

So Wednesday is here and this is where we're at:

Spent all of yesterday playing with the MinGW ("Minimalist GNU for Windows" http://www.mingw.org) tool-chain with good results.  I can run Windows XP in a virtual machine, but I thought I would try to simplify the build process, I'm lazy like that.

So using MinGW I successfully compiled ORP, the GUI, and all the dependant libraries.  This ORP GUI runs perfectly on a Windows box, but I'm having two issues with the player.  The audio thread tanks somewhere in SDL_OpenAudio, and the video thread tanks inside of FFMpeg just after emitting this error:

Compiler did not align stack variables. Libavcodec has been miscompiled
and may be very slow or crash. This is not a bug in libavcodec,
but in the compiler. You may try recompiling using gcc >= 4.2.
Do not report crashes to FFmpeg developers.

Seems that my compiler is too old. Tried upgraded to GCC 4.3, but haven't been successful and I don't want to waste too much time.  So I'll build ORP inside a WinXP virtual machine instead.

Haven't started the OSX port yet, but I should be getting my hands on a Macbook tonight.  That's where I'm at, wish me luck!

Good luck man hope you get it working all good

so what does this exactly do?

Allows you to remotely control the PS3 like with PSP, but from another device BESIDES the PSP.  If Sony sees a security risk, they'll patch it up with a firmware update...  If they do, that means they saw a threat, don't see it, but you know Sony...

Maybe you should read the entire thread...

I knew you'd get the Mac shit figured out real quick.

just a thought, you adding fullscreen support?
also kickass good job.
only thing that sucks about it is its such an easy thing for sony to patch.
there gonna do it just to be dicks.. you know they will.
anything that makes there systems cool they always take away from there customers.
even if it doesn't hurt anything.

For the BETA release, I may not get full-screen support in, but it will be implemented along with double-size windowed mode.  The code is capable to support this, just hasn't been a top priority.  I'm really working hard to build a multi-platform release.

As far as Sony releasing a firmware update to block ORP, I wouldn't be surprised.  There are two reasons why this will be difficult for them however.  Number one, they'll have to update both the PS3 *and* the PSP firmware at the same time.  Number two, the PSP is a hacked platform...  so it's really futile.  I'll always be able to reverse-engineer the authentication/cryptography system provided I can run a debugger on the PSP.  Looks like that'll be the case for some time.  Even if they update the PSP (as is rumoured), then they'll have to lock-out existing PSP owners from Remote Play.  I *highly* doubt they're prepared to piss off millions of existing customers.  Even for Sony, that would seem very unlikely.

w00t!  Tonight I should have a package for OSX - certainly worth celebrating with many beer

Did you reverse the protocol or did you write software on an existing API?

I reverse-engineered the authentication and content encryption system using a debugger (psplink) on a hacked PSP.  The protocol itself is simply HTTP and anyone can read and understand that.  The only part of the protocol that took a few hours to learn was the pad (input) data.  Every button press on the PSP results in a 128 byte block of data being sent to the PS3 via HTTP POST (up to 60 times before a new POST header is sent).

In terms of APIs, I chose highly portable libraries to facilitate rapid development.  For HTTP I'm using libcurl, audio is being decoded with libfaad, video is being decoded with libavcodec (FFmpeg), audio and video output along with user-events and thread support is being handled by libSDL.  The GUI was written using wxWidgets.

Did you find out what the SHA1 keys Kid101skater mentioned where for?

I wouldn't take much of what he says too seriously...  There are 3 static keys however, 2 of them are used for RP and I presume they were randomly generated by Sony.  They could be SHA1 hashes of something, but who knows.  How they were generated is irrelevant.

Great work in this. I have a question. Would it be possible to do it the other way around? Fooling the PSP that it's connecting to the PS3 and having it connect to a PC for example via Remote Play...

Yes, that is completely possible to do.  It would be a lot more work, but now that we have fully reversed the RP protocol, anyone with the drive and skills to do this could get it working.

Do you have any planned release date for the PC (Vista, XP) version?

Great job with the Release of the Mac OSX version. It's a Big + to the PS3 Community.

Thanks.
