Release: PS Vita Remote Desktop by DigitalArts001
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 PS Vita Remote Desktop here
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.

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.

Okay, so i finally found it all out.
Full tutorial:
-Install the vita dev update and the pc software from sony’s site. (Latest PLEASE!)
-Download the rar and extract it anywhere.
-Run psm and go to File-open. Navigate it to where you extracted the rar.
-Once it opens, go to Build-Rebuild All. Once it says “Rebuild successful”, Open the PSM Dev app on the vita and connect the vita to the pc.
-Go to Run-Run on-PS Vita (xxxxxxx) ON.
-It will install the program to the vita automatically, wait. Once the client itself opens, close out of the app and close PSM on pc.
-Now open to the extracted folder, and go to VitaRemoteServer and open VitaRemoteServer.exe
Now you have it working, we need to get the ip of your pc. websites or the pop up bubble in the corner do not work on all pc’s, so this is the best way to go.
-Go to start-search cmd, open the command line. Once it opens, type in ipconfig.
-Once it pops up on the window, go to “Wireless LAN adapter …” and look where it says “IPv4 Address”. Thats your correct ip.
-Now type that into the app (You have to do it everytime sadly) ip address, leave the port same, and if you did all that right, it should work!
Your welcome.
I can’t figure out how to send this app to my vita. I did rebuild all but when I go to run, it says my vita is off. probably because I don’t have the app on my vita yet as I can’t figure out how to do that part.
Nevermind.. I didn’t notice a second download on the link provided above for the psm. I should be ok now. I had only downloaded the pc version.
ps suite STAYS on your computer. 0.99 installs as a new program call PSM. Dont confuse them and you wont have problems.
I’m sure having a good computer helps with this, but I’m almost certain that your router makes an insanely huge difference. I can play it in the same room as my router and get almost 1:1, the further away i get the framerate drops. I was fiddling with it outside my house and I could only achieve around 5fps. I am running on an old linksys G router. I wonder how much better my performance would be with a nice N router.
ill try it with my comcast router brb… okay so it all depends on your router i went into my back yard and all around my house the furthest i got was 10km before i started to lagg to the point of 1-5 fps
Works for me! 😀 I get about 40-60 fps with very little lag. Love this remote desktop app!
HOW!? I only get 15 fps, and my cpu can run anything well up to a heavy game of minecraft, and I have a great connection as well, so i dont get it.
Minecraft isn’t a really heavy game….
My internet connection is very strong and my cpu is a 3rd gen i7 quadcore 🙂
some suggestions about config?? cuz quiality SUX
I CANNOT transfer the app to my vita, but i can transfer it to my android… 🙁
they say the update doesnt work with the vita connector?
I think Vita connector does not work anymore on 0.99
bummer… now i cant enjoy this app anymore…:(
my screen on my ps vita i blank and i have followed all steps but it isn´t working anyway! 🙁
i cant see the FullScreen in my Vita my current Resu in my PC is 1600×900! and the avail resu in Remotedeskstop is 800×600
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 .
are you *** kidding me? how to install via PSM studio? this is really *** “how to install”
Its the only way… Not that hard.
Chill out bro? Heard of something called Google?
I seem to be the only one in the world but… Why wont my mouse work in games like fable 3, bioshock 2, and any other for that matter?
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
Great app plugged my pc to the hdmi tv run any emulator… Looks like my vita turns into a controller joystiq… =)
we want more apps ….. can you give to us more apps?
How do you install? This doesn’t make much sense especially with no readme
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”
I know how to play left4dead onluy go to options in the game an put video and put short screen and adjust the size ok the pakxbd
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?
Updates?!
my screen turns black when i am trying to connect!? 🙁
when im using my psvita and starting VitaRemoteClient it just has a black screen please someone elp
pleasae make an update,im gettin a black screen with fps
Will anybody assist with black screen errors?!

where d oyou put in the ip address
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 :/

New link (Updated)
wololo im having problem when i connect the ip address i only saw black screen on my vita…but i can use the right stick of my vita as mouse..what should i do..?
Just change the code and redeploy it into your vita and voila (i got it for the psm dev forum)
Original code:
// Set up the graphics system
graphics = new GraphicsContext();
sceneMain = new MainUI();
Draw.init(graphics);
dgl_connection = new dialog.DLG_CONNECTION();
UISystem.Initialize(graphics);
UISystem.SetScene(sceneMain, null);
Fixed code:
// Set up the graphics system
graphics = new GraphicsContext();
Draw.init(graphics);
dgl_connection = new dialog.DLG_CONNECTION();
UISystem.Initialize(graphics);
I’m sorry but I am new to the whole PSM scene but I have obtained my publishing license today and I want to know where this code you have is supposed to go in the project. I don’t know where to put it and I am getting a black screen on my vita and the mobile simulator on my pc so something is blocking it please help!
