Hi,
I made some little changes to the python script and wrote an little article about how to use this thing, featuring a video where I show how I use it.

Wow! This is excellent! Just the thing I need. I have an Asus EEE 1000H, and it’s hard to tell when the processor is overheating. If only I was running linux :(
Any chance of there being Windows version?

Hi everyone, I wrote this hack a couple of days ago and thought someone else might find it useful.

mydnight – You’re right the Python part isn’t cross platform, but you can write your own program that will send a status image/message to the PSP very easily, if you want something minimalistic try running ‘echo -n “test123#test#”|nc 80′

akoi meexx – Lua is cheap and dirty which exactly the reason I used it, the entire thing was written in a couple of hours.

Nevermind the fact that this works without connecting the PSP to the computer. That definitely wouldn’t give it the upper hand over an lcd at all, no….

Good use of a psp, though I’m not a fan of LUA Player. Just seems cheap and dirty against actually compiling a PSP app.

People who say this is a waste of PSP clearly don’t have the “hack spirit”. It’s not like “this feature sucks”, it’s all about making a device do something totally different it was meant to.

Im sure this was already done with the app pspdisp and another app to run on the psp. I had my psp as a secondary monitor months ago lol :)

Wow a 15 foot LCD for 10 bucks!! Sign me up.

Its a cool hack for when your not using your PSP, you can always have it as a status monitor.

There’s an error in the python, the font is pointing to somthing in the coders home directory.

to fix just change it to any ttf font on your sytem.

install cygwin and don’t worry about compatibility in windows.
