Release: PS Vita Remote Desktop by DigitalArts001

July 14, 2012 in PS Vita, release by wololo | 142 comments

A few days ago I wrote about PS Vita Remote Desktop, a tool that allows you to stream PC games on your Vita, and control them with the Vita.

The author of that application, DigitalArts001 (a.k.a. melfice002) just released the source code for that application on the playstation forums.

One of the “proof of concept” videos that impressed people the most was Left 4 Dead running through this application. If you have an up to date Playstation Mobile SDK, as well as an up to date Vita (yup, you’ll probably need firmware 1.691), and a bit of motivation and/or programming skills, then do give this app a try.

Download and install

Quoting the author here:

I’d like to share a sample of my remote desktop application because lots of users are asking for a sample. This is my first C# and PS Vita Application.

I haven’t though of a good name for my application yet because I’am very picky when it comes to naming, but for now I will call this PS Vita Remote Deskop, an application that allows you access your computer remotely using the PS Vita, by translating the PS Vita’s input to keyboard/mouse input.

System Requirement:

Windows 7 (haven’t tried this on XP or Vista)
.net Frame work 3.5 above
PlayStaion Mobile SDK 0.99 for PC
PlayStation Mobile Dev Assistant 0.99 for PS Vita

How to Install

1. download the program here http://www.mediafire.com/?b68g7qa2ukzku8a
2. extract the PS VITA REMOTE DESKTOP.rar
3. load and install “VitaRemoteClient” using the PSM Studio.
4. locate “VitaRemoteServer.exe” from the “VitaRemoteServer folder”, run the server.
5. windows security alert will appear, select allow access.
6. a ballon tooltip will appear showing the computer’s Ip address
input the ip address to your vita then tap connect.

Controls
D pad = arrows keys;
Left Analog stick = W, A, S, D;
Right Analog Stick = Mouse Movement;
Gyro X and Y axis only = mouse movement;
accelerometer X axis only = A, D;
Lbutton = U;
Rbutton= O;
Square = J;
Cross = K;
Circle = L;
start = numpad0;
select= show/hide mouse cursor;

TouchScreen “don’t function well still working on it.”

Tap = executes a left mouse click;
double tap = executes a left mouse double click;
Draging with one finger = moves the mouse;
Draging with two fingers = moves the view port;

Max Resolution 480 x 270;
lowest Resolution 400×200;
Audio not yet available
definining key inputnot yet available
the program is 30% complete but it’s working.

It’s not perfect yet, though: several people are reporting various problems: compilation errors, black screens, etc… but most of them seem to be configuration issues that can simply be solved. If you have any problem, feel free to discuss them on our thread at /talk.

Note: I haven’t tried this myself yet.

  you need to set your desktop to 800×600 too , then you see your fullscreen too .
  i got tony hawk pro skater to work that way , works great , however most other newer games dont .
  now trying to get mw2 and saints row to work .

  Look i realize it is something i must change in sdk thats fine i can handle that. just can someone point me in the right direction within the code?
  
  Otherwise this app is useless unless for old boring emulators.

Works great for me! I regretted having to update to 1.69, but I decided to anyway. Hopefully your next VHBL will work on 1.69, @wololo. xD But the only real complaints I have is that when you run games on fullscreen It won’t show up on the vita, and some games (Portal 2, Skyrim) the right analog stick won’t move the axis of the game, but move the mouse. But all-in-all, grats to DigitalArts001 for his great effort on such a wonderful app. :p

For all of you saying it doesn’t work you should read you need other itmes such as the ps sdk for your PC and the psvita dev assistant so its not just download and it works as wololo said” you need so motivation and/or programming skills”

Although its allowed through my firewall, the ip I’m inputting is correct and both PSM and PSM studio are up to date (as a matter of fact I downloaded the both after this was posted and updated PSM Dev) I am still getting a black screen. Does anyone have any ideas what the problem could be?

I followed the directions carefully but when I try to load the app (or any of the demos) on my vita I get this error:

“Failed to install application on device. Please make App Key Ring file from PSM Publishing Utility.”

Can someone please tell me how to solve this? Thank you!

  You gotta buy a publisher license from sony. There isn’t a current fix for this right now. I currently am waiting myself :/
