 Remote Play is a feature on the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Portable which allows a PlayStation Portable user to interact with their PlayStation 3's Xross Media Bar. Users can access music, videos, photos, PlayStation games, The PlayStation Store and various applications stored on the PlayStation 3's HDD, or external flash drives and optical media attached to the PlayStation 3. Remote Play works by encoding a live video stream of the output image on a PlayStation 3, then delivering it over a wireless network connection to a PlayStation Portable. Actions performed on the PSP such as the pressing of buttons are uploaded back to the PlayStation 3 over the same connection. This is similar in concept to the Slingbox. The audio may also be sent to and played by the PSP, or instead delivered through the normal Playstation 3 audio connections, thus allowing the PSP to be used as a remote control for a Playstation 3 acting as a media player. This is particularly useful if the Playstation 3 is connected to a video projector, as it means one doesn't have to start the projector in order to play music.
[edit] CompatibilityTo use the basic Remote Play feature on the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Portable over a local or private network connection, the system software must be at least version 1.60 on the PlayStation 3, and at least 3.10 on the PlayStation Portable.[1] To use the Remote Play feature over the Internet, the system software must be at least version 1.80 on the PlayStation 3, and at least 3.50 on the PlayStation Portable.[2] The Remote Play functionality originally did not work with the 20GB configuration of the PlayStation 3 as it lacks Wi-Fi and therefore cannot wirelessly connect and stream to a PlayStation Portable. The 1.60 firmware upgrade addresses this issue by allowing the PSP to connect to the 20GB version through a wireless router connected to the PS3 via ethernet. Users set up a Remote Play connection by first registering their PSP with a USB mini B cable. Once this has been done the PSP may be connected to the PlayStation 3.[3] [edit] Remote Play to PCHomebrew developers have reverse engineered the Remote Play protocol allowing the Remote Play function to be used on a computer. The software, titled Open Remote Play currently is available for both Mac OS and Windows and requires a hacked PSP to retrieve the paired device settings that the PlayStation 3 stores on the PlayStation Portable. A Linux port of Open Remote Play[4] is expected soon. System Software version 2.80 for PlayStation 3 patched the Open Remote Play exploit. [edit] Remote Start functionWith System Software update 2.00, it is now possible to turn the PlayStation 3 system on and off with the PlayStation Portable.[5] [edit] Games and Software compatible with Remote Play Sony is allowing developers to let their games on the PlayStation 3 interact with the PSP. Initially, Sony Computer Entertainment only announced two titles that would work with Remote Play.[6] Gran Turismo HD and Formula One Championship Edition were shown at E3 with the PlayStation Portable acting in-game as a rear view mirror to assist the player in the game.[7] However, the Remote Play feature was dropped from both games before release and did not appear in the final version of the game, during the next firmware update it has been announced that such remote play is ready to be activated. Soon after its release, the PlayStation 3 title Lair was found to work on the PlayStation Portable via Remote Play. The entire game is theoretically playable with no lagging (since the PlayStation 3 itself still processes the game, but the PSP displays it), however due to control problems many actions are difficult to use because the PSP lacks a right analog stick and the L2 and R2 buttons, all of which are necessary for playing the game. Although the PSP can be configured to use the Select button as a modifier key, such that Select+Joystick = Right Analog and Select+Left Shoulder = L2, such manual gymnastics are difficult to perform quickly, and preclude operation of both analog sticks simultaneously. Instead of using Sixaxis, Lair uses the joystick, making it easier to control your dragon. With the current versions of the firmware for both the PSP and the PS3, original PlayStation games can now be played through Remote Play to the PSP.[8][9] When playing PS1 games via Remote Play, however the content is shown in 4:3 rather than taking the widescreen space of the PSP screen.  Games/Software which are compatible with Remote Play include:
