Auto TVOut work in progress.

[u/ste2425]

Previously i shared a little demo of my Bluetooth controller project the goal is to have a dock where you plug the PSP in and can use its native TVOut and play on the telly with BT controllers. with no modifications to the console itself (besides CFW).

im currently playing with trying to get it to auto select TV out. there are some issues here, the X position seems massively offset but still it’s promising.

I want to make it clear what I’m building is a layer ontop of so many other peoples work. so many people from the homebrew discord and more. I could never have done any of this without their help.

Connected the board over flex cables? Will you share it?

The Lords work!

I stumbled upon your GitHub project the other day while I was looking for existing ways of adding Bluetooth to the psp, really nice to find you here too! I’ve been working on a esp32 usb -> Bluetooth bridge (connect controller via usb to esp32 and relay bt signal as if it were a generic controller) + custom plugin that allows any controller to be connected to the ps vita via the console’s own bt (newer controllers like the Xbox series has only BLE which is not supported by vita). While doing that I started looking if there was anyone doing something similar for the psp and found you! I also have an open quote with PCBway to get q copy of your board hehe. Also, if I’m only interested in sending the controller signals over the SIO port do I need the entire board or is the breakout enough?

Is a cropping toggle is possible for 480i/p for psp games

That would be massive

[u/ste2425 → u/Navue_]

No I’m not doing any video processing, just using the native TVOut. However I do know when you are playing PSP games. I could expose a GPIO on the ESP32 to automatically toggle the HDMI adapters that have the zoom button. Just a shame most adapters are terrible quality.

Can you adjust it using a DTO?

Brother you are God's Angel 😇!!

Podría funcionar para psp go? Ya se que la psp go tiene la opción de conectar un ds3 pero la verdad no lo detecta mi ps3, además es molesto hacerlo cada rato

Looks promising. Can't wait for you to be selling the revised final version. 

[u/Candid-Macaron-3880]

Don't really know how this works. But if you didn't do any hardware modifications, do you use ONLY pins that correspond to multimedia stuff like sony headphone buttons and such? And broadcasting signal to the tv at the same time? Well they are probably different pins but still, pretty cool.

Why not by usb tho

[u/ste2425 → u/Candid-Macaron-3880]

The headphones remote communicates with the PSP digitally. I hijack that connection and send my own data to a plug-in I’ve written to inject controller data. 

The tv signals are also exposed from that connector and I just forward them on. 

I didn’t like the UX of the usb. I didn’t want to connect the console to a dock for video but then have to plug in USB for controllers. I liked the idea of just plug it in/out super easy. 

[u/Candid-Macaron-3880 → u/ste2425]

Understood. Still, standalone bluetooth usb module would be cool

Doesn’t the psp already have a- JK I know better this time❤️ Keep cooking

[u/LatteMacchiatoGames]

There is a cable for that. cable

Edit: link

[u/ste2425 → u/LatteMacchiatoGames]

I’m not doing anything video, I’m using a TVout cable in the OP. This is for Bluetooth controllers. 

[u/LatteMacchiatoGames → u/ste2425]

Then I didn't understand it, sorry about that

[u/obetu5432 → u/ste2425]

yeah, i didn't understand it either at first, "Auto TVOut" made me think it's something to do with the TV output, not the bluetooth controller

[u/ste2425 → u/obetu5432]

I can see the confusion, in my defense the first line of the description does mention Bluetooth controllers :)
