My PSP + PS3 Integration Experience (Remote Play)
- Thread starter Thesnipergecko
- Start date
I know its purely opinionated, but here are my thoughts on your points:
1: No, any media sharing available to the PS3 on the network will be available to the PSP remotely.
2: I'm going to get one mainly for watching stuff in bed/in a hotel room with wifi access when on holiday during those jet-lagged nights.
3: Good point, but the amount of shared media on my network is over 200GB, so i would need a lot of memory sticks
4: My area is great for freeview so
5: I have loads of PS1 titles i would love to replay but they just look rubbish on a 32" tele (many dont even support widescreen), they look fantastic on the PSP screen so yay! The PSP has a reasonable number of excellent games available also.
"Hi There",
I have "achieved" the same "setup" as you, a "while" ago. You "need" to either set your "router" to always give your "PS3" the same IP "address", ("DHCP Reservation"). Or you can "give" it a static IP "address", as you suggested. Then you "need" to "forward" TCP & UDP Port 9293 to the IP "address". I have done "exactly" that and can "connect" from "work" on a WLAN on an "ADSL" line. What "router" do you have?

I can imagine it being quite usefull - well occasionally anyway. I would use it to watch world cup / european cup (if England had qualified) games at work if they were on at weird hours. And also to watch F1 quali if I was at work on a Saturday or the actual race if the main TV was in use on the Sunday. It's makes the PSP like a mini TV you can carry around the house, in garden or uise from work etc - I think it's worth getting PlayTV just for that alone.
I'm also playing through Gran Turismo 2 on PSP at the minute and the gfx definately look a lot better than on a 32" HDTV.

Well i just went and got a PSP lite. After a while of wanting one i went up to a local electronics store and got a black one with PES2008, some 'kit' thing for £139, i also got bomberman for half price (an old time favorite of mine) and a 1 gig memory stick.
i can beleive how small this thing is and how good the screen is. Sound is quite tho.
I anabled remote play on my PS3, was good switching it on from upstairs and watching some of my video clips. I was taken back by the fact it actualy shows the PS3's decktop and it also plays the PS3's space music clip when listening to music.
I had troubles getting the PSP on the internet, it would se my router but wouldnt conect. After searching the net for answers i found changing the wireless from 'G' only to both 'B' and 'G' got me up and running.
So then i tried to connect my PSP remote play thru the net conection to the ps3 (so see if it worked before i try it at work next week), but it wont connect, it gives me an error after saying i shouldnt have to wait more than 90 seconds to establish a link. Is this because i am trying to do it on my router to my ps3 and that it only works from an external one?
Even my missus who isnt into anything gizmo thought it was great.

Your totally NOT biased mate.
It's more likely to be a case of the fact that the PSP just doesn't have enough buttons to cater for most PS3 games rather than it being because their considerably more graphics intensive. After all, all of the rendering is still being done on the PS3, the PSP is just acting as a video stream receiver.
The general rule would seem to be if a game requires dual analogue control then it won't be supported on remote play - so pretty much all PS3 games and a fair few PSN games (Super Stardust HD, PAIN etc...).
It does work very well though particularly using it to stream video files which in turn are being streamed from my PC
just a note for the ps1 games on psp, the psp is more than capable of playing the games directly ie with no lag.
My experience of remote play was that it was a cool feature but ultimately pretty useless.
Hardly any games support it, and the ones that do are lagged and look all fuzzy due to the res difference.
Admitedly the media thing did cross my mind, but with so many devices these days playing vids it just didnt seem worth the bother. Maybe if I was a jet setting business man...
Shame really as portable pixel junk monsters linked to my main game save was very appealing but it was pretty much unplayable and that was just over my local network. Still hats off to sony for trying
Any one got lair going on it ?

that is a nice touch been able to play games on remote play 
i cant try it with my psp as i have cfw and i would need to mess about with the flash to get remote play working.
although there is a sweet program called pimpstreamer that lets me access my pc with the psp eg i can browse my hard drives from the psp and stream media to it such as videos, music and pictures.
theres no conversion issues either as the pc encodes the data its sending on the fly. eg i click a divx, mkv etc vid from the psp the pc will start to encode it to mpg-4 as it sending the data.
sweet program if no one has heard of it before

Provided your have an up to date cfw there's no messing around, it works the same as ofw.
Picked up a PS3 at the weekend for my birthday.
First thing i did was to get was to get Remote play running.
Very impressive to be streaming music from my pc via the PS3 to the PSP.
The hidef demo of Wipeout looked a bit odd on the psp, but the GT5 Nissan demo played nicely.
This is going to be so usefully when the freeview tuner arrives for the PS3, will be albe to watch tv where ever.

Well i bought a PSP last week and got around to setting up remote play.
It is kinda fun and nice (still im wondering why i need it) but that hasnt stopped me getting it or enjoying it.
Ive found quality from GT1 PS1 game to look really poor to be honest mate and not fullscreen (like wtf?) Maybe im missing soimething here but have the network/streaming settings set to max possible.
I was very surprised how well remote play did work with my audio/video and even messed around with PS3 Eye as a possible web/security cam. I wish the video chat window could be resized to fullscreen though but still really neat.
I picked up a slim'n'lite last week.
I have the same problem as a few others on here, in that I cannot get the PS3 to wake up from a remote internet connection.
My PS3 has a static IP address, I have port 9293 forwarded to the PS3.
The PS3 is setup to wake up for remote play, and this works fine on my internal network, I can wake the PS3 no problems, however, if I try to do the same using a remote internet connection, the PSP just times out after 90 seconds, and the PS3 won't wake up at all.
I know I'm not alone in this, and I can see no reason why it wouldn't work. If it were my router, then surely it wouldn't wake up from my LAN either?
If I leave the PS3 on, and in remote play mode, then it does work, no problems, from an external internet connection.
I'm really hoping to get this working, as I for one, do have a use for this.
Furthermore, if I can stream TV to my PSP when I'm out and about, I'll most definitely be wanting to use it

I got internet connection to work at home last night, but it wont work at my business even though i get inernet access ok, have the browser disabled at start up and the PS3 to start via RP, like you now it keeps timing out?
Anyone???
