This application, URL2PSP does the following: It allows you to download files (binary) through http:// or ftp:// (public) protocol directly to your PSP by entering the URLS at our website (since the PSP has no easy input method!). This is a FREE program and service and we hope everyone will find it as useful as the creators do. Changes:
Fully compatible with V2.0 firmware of the PSP when running eLoader.
Urls can be listed in”PSP/GAME/URL2PSP/urls.txt”if you don’t want to use the website.
Paths are not hard coded in the application anymore in order to make it work better with the PSP 2.0 and eLoader.
The downloads directory has been relocated to be under PSP/GAME/URL2PSP. The FULL path now is /PSP/GAME/URL2PSP/DOWNLOADS
When possible and supported by the host server, file resumes are supported and automatic.
If possible, the program will follow”redirects”in http download operations. This will make a few more urls possible that weren’t before.
Encoded urls that contain %’s will be decoded fully (this was fixed).
Free space on the memory stick and a”low space”warning are now shown on the screen.
The”exit”button has been changed to be the”start”button in order to make the application work with2.0 firmware and eLoader.
If the free space on the memory stick is less than the file size you are trying to download, the file will be skipped automatically.

(r764) (sandberg) 3DUI: Background modified to include space for the playtime/total time. (r763) (raf) Core: Changed versioning scheme. Hopefully less people will be confused now… (raf) TextUI: The folder of the currently playing track is now highlighted. (r766) BUG FIXES (sandberg) Core/3DUI: Rearranged the order of the VBlank operations to remove some of the jitter on the UI. (r745) (sandberg) Core: [ Bug #6256 ] WiFi logging is always enabled (r754) (raf) Core: Fixed a bunch of small issues related to pausing/playing/changing tracks both using the buttons and HPRM. The current implementation should be a lot more reliable/intuitive. (r766)

iR Commander is an Infra-Red Universal Remote Control software for Playstation Portable. It allows you to control various home appliances and other infra-red based equipments. It’s implementation is based on CIR (Consumer IR), not IrDA. Thus, it will not allow you to communicate with your laptop via IrDA for information exchange. CIR is typically used among most home appliances and electronic equipments with IR wireless remote controls, such as TVs, VCRs, DVDs, Projectors, etc.
The current version of iR Commander does not allow your PSP to directly learn another remote control unit by pointing at it. Instead, it uses the most popular IR code available on the net, Pronto Hex Code. By copying the Pronto Hex Codes to your PSP, you can eventually turn your PSP into a Universal remote with support for over 6000 equipments.
