PSP As Home Remote Control

Posted by Zonk on from the plays-games-too dept.

LiquidIce writes "Control your house with a PSP, using the wipeout browser hack. Currently, you can control a TV, DVD, and Lighting using the WiFi on the PSP. There are so many more possibilities for using a PSP as the controller to a home automation system."

    How is this Slashdot worthy?

    All it involves is using the existing "hack" for the browser embedded in Wipeout Pure to load a normal website that just happens to control various devices around the home.

    It doesn't use the PSP's IR port or anything like that and as it uses the Wipeout browser it is an absolutely pain to load as Wipeout has a rediculous number of button presses and a large load time to get into the game.

    Nifty yes but not exactly a PSP hack at all, it's just like the "IRC client" for the PSP that was just a web page.
