Use your PSP as an additional monitor under Windows

[jingarelho]

does anyone knows the wallpaper the guy is using in the video?

Wow you guys are kidding right?, there are so many applications for this that it makes me cry that i cant use it under Vista x64

1) Put Winamp's main window and playlist on it so you can always see the next song that is coming and the playback, while still having a full screen application running on your main monitor... (Eg. Play GRID on the PC and have your own music in the background, you can see what song follows)

2) While playing single player games on the PC, you can have a Notepad open on the PSP with a FAQ or strategy guide.

3) Weather widget, CPU/Mem Utilization, Email checker, etc * 100

4) Photoshop or other Tools that allow you to move panels, you can put the panels in the PSP's screen and have your entire screen for your Project's Preview

5) MSN, Skype, IRC, etc, etc

And so many others, i want it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Excellent suggestions! I can't wait to try it but I have Vista installed so I'll have to bring home my work laptop. Sort of a pain but I'll keep my fingers crossed for a Vista-compatible version in the near future.

SideShow is dead. Forget about this.

Sorry?

at the moment it seems alot of trouble for something so little... maybe when they get the features they mentioned implemented, then maybe its more worth it

abit more involvement on the psp side of things would have been nice, like doing a larger portion of the rendering process rather than just displaying what the windows driver sent it

at the moment i can see 2 scenarios for it... your very energy conscious and you use your psp while your monitor is off... or someone makes a new version of the driver that makes the psp behave as a second desktop, rather than just repeating whats on the monitor

Wait, please explain better, i cant try it because of Vista, but i thought the made your PSP a secondary display?? at least it looks like that from the video...

Does it only "copy" whatever you have on the primary monitor???

I have to say, I'm finding it hard to find a practical use for this :p I suppose one would be to have the magnifier on the PSP screen maximised and then it can view everything zoomed in on the bigger screen (which would be great for stuff like photoshop or those with hard of hearing, having a zoomed in and zoomed out perspective without it taking up any more screen space.

wtf?

This looks pretty cool though. I'm gonna have to try this out later.

ARRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!!! No Vista/64-bit support. :'(

64 bit versions are not supported, as well as Windows Vista. I would like to provide a Vista version but it will probably never happen due to the changes in the display driver model regarding multi-monitor support.

Luke Skywalker: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Ricardo Gil]

Yeah, that was when they banned him from Live.

[CY:G]

Actually i meant it in that part where Darth Vader tell Luke that he is his father....

But yeah that part on Episode 3 was very awful: NOOOOOOOOOOO

[aero9]

awesome idea. im glad its version 0.1

this can develop into something pretty cool...

specially if it can run over wifi.

one use i can think of is put my utorrent on it and occasionally look over it to see the status/speed.

oops i meant like, instead of displaying the output of the computer's video card like a monitor, the psp should be able to do so much more, like almost like another video card

guess i sounded kind of confusing.... guess i cant keep up with technology that well :)

Oh you mean the PSP actually doing calculations with its CPU/GPU to generate 3D content for the PC or itself, that would be sick, i could write another list of things that could be done with that :D

It would be great if they used the Vista Sideshow SDK to make it work as a Windows peripheral... :)

"No Vista support"

Fail (N)

Even if there was though, who really cares lol.
