Description

This feature allows interaction with the Playstation XMB as well as supported PS3 Games/Software and PS1 games. A few settings on XMB are hidden during remote play or can not be accessed. PS3 can provide video and sound to the device or only video to the device (when your PS3 audio output like monitor or audio system is running the sound). PS3 20GB CECHB00 models (and others but unreleased models) can be used if they are using a wired connection to a wireless router even though the internal Wi-Fi hardware is missing.

Message when trying to run an app/game










Note: Sony after all, giving finally support for remote play on PC limits everything it could. Result into not being able to play games/run homebrew via RemotePlay. In theory it could be work-arounded by patching, after all.

Patch

sprx patch (for Firmware 3.55)
complete (pack includes the pc software patch too)

these patched files should enhance the Remote Play-Feature. Naughty Sony-Developers or propably some smartass manager fucker thought official pc remote play should only be limited to 6x ps3 applications, namely:

  • NPEA00135 (VidZone)
  • BCES00096 (PlayTV)
  • NPEA90028
  • NPEA90029 (PlayTV too)
  • NPJA00001 (Mainichi Issho/Everyday Together)
  • NPJA00046

How to:

Extract "premo_game_plugin.sprx" + "premo_plugin.sprx" from this package to:

  • dev_flash\vsh\module\

now for newer firmwares this idea might work:

  • use one of the ID's above for your homebrew/game/app

Successfully tested these patches with:

  • Multiman
  • Bionic Commando Rearmed Demo
  • Bejeweled 2 Demo
  • Silent Hill 1 PSX

Problems / workarounds

  • officially RemotePlay compatible titles
    • Nothing to fix :P
  • unofficially RemotePlay compatible BD titles
    • Use the patch or edit the SFO
  • unofficially RemotePlay compatible PSN titles
    • Use the patch or edit the SFO and then rebuild database from recovery menu (second method has better compatibility)
  • Incompatible RemotePlay titles
    • Most of the BD games in this section will launch with black screen due of the introduction video (codecs or resolutions) , ps3 reboot after a while. Can be resolved if you change the problematic videos with an other.
    • Homebrew like Frogger, puzzles collection don t function due to theirs authors decisions.
  • Officially Adhoc compatible titles
    • You can play online psp games through the AP mode of PS3 if you connect both of the devices to Playstation Network. In this case, PS3 is providing to the psp a wifi connection (not sure if this service is available outside Japan)

Limitations

  • requires a memory container of 8-10mb
  • the remoteplay utility creates 14 PPU Threads upon its startup
  • uses 1 SPU for encoding (mp4avc/aac needs more processing power than sp/atrac mode)
  • display transfered is trimmed to 90% of its size (image will be resized to 480x272)

PlayStation Vita's Remote Play capabilities

During TGS 2011 Sony showed off a number of examples of how the new device can interact with the PlayStation 3:

  • Killzone 3 and little big planet 2 were streamed into the device from a PlayStation 3 unit,

noting how a few of the Dual Shock buttons missing on the Vita are mapped to the touchscreen.

  • A Vita streaming movie content from Japan-only PS3 TV recorder Torne.

Note:

  • it is possible to pair PSVita with a Playstation 3 on lower Firmware than 4.00 (e.g 3.41/3.55, pair as mobile phone/pc/psp)
