thanks liquidice for the basis of this guide.. :cool:

my main zip file w/moops portal template and browseamp template

Required Software/Setup:
-PSP :p
-Wipeout Pure
-Moops dns/webserver running (for psp portal)
-winamp and browseamp plugin
-basic html, computer know-how
-wireless network/router


Step 1. Setup Moops and Wipeout Pure browser

moops/browser requirements:
Sony PSP
Wipeout Pure video game
Wireless/Wifi network
MooPS DNS Server/Spoofer ( download here )

a. Download and Install MooPS Mini DNS Server. This will let you run a mini DNS Server to spoof your PSP and the wipeout browser.

b. Configure MooPS for your network.


First, when you open up MooPS, go to Options > Server Settings. An options screen will popup like so (see below).



Here's what you need to configure (use the colors in the pic for reference).

Yellow: This is the computer's IP Address that MooPS is running on. (advanced users: If you want to just setup a local network portal type page, you would want to change the IP Address: (Any) to the IP Address of hosting the portal (but most of you will just want to leave it set to (Any) )

Red: This is the IP of your router/hub. Usually, 192.168.0.1 (mine is actually 192.168.10.1). or do a google on your router type to find it out. (ie the page you access to make changes to your router/hub)

Green: Hostname: name of the computer you have Moops on (in My Computer > Properties > Computer Name. IP Address: IP of the PC running Moops and in turn the webserver. Port: 80 is the default http port, its not configurable at the moment it seems. Root Directory: Location of the folder where webpages are, default is set to Moops PSP Folder at (C:\Program Files\MooPS\ROOT) , i changed mine to be a subweb of my webserver i already run.

c. Setup the PSP network settings to use MooPS and allow for your own custom portal.

On your PSP:
  • Go to Network Settings
  • Then choose Infrastructure Mode.
  • Now, create a -New Connection-
  • Name your connection here. I have two seperate wifii connections setup, one specifically for the wipout browser. Then arrow right.
  • Next, you can either scan for your wifi network's SSID or you can enter it in manually, also if you use any encryption such as WEP to choose that. Then arrow right
  • Enter in your WEP Key if your wireless network uses it. Then arrow right.
  • Next, set the Address Settings to Custom.
  • Just use Automatic for IP Address Setting.
  • Next, choose Manual for your DNS Setting. This is where MooPS comes into play!

Now on this screen, we need to setup the Primary DNS to be the address of the computer that is running MooPS (the same IP as the Redirect IP Address: in MooPS)

Then setup your Secondary DNS to be your ISP's/networks DNS address. This way you can still browse real website with the browser and not ALL requests are handled directly by MooPS. Then arrow right again.


-Next, is the proxy server, if you don't use one or know what it is, just use Do Not Use.
-Now, finally the confirmation screen, just arrow right after you verify it.
-And FINALLY, just click X to save your connection, it will then do a test connection.

d. Reaping the rewards.

If you want to just see it up and running for the first time, just use the default webserver Root Directory Moops. Start up MooPS on your PC.
 


Load up Wipeout Pure on your PSP. Go into the Downloads section. Then connect to your network using the custom profile we setup above. Once you connect, you should be brought to a super basic webpage by Moops on your PSP. Click the google link by highlighting it and pushing X. Text input is done via the default keyboard.

On your PC, you'll see something like this in MooPS.




Here's zip of my html portal with site to wired, cnn, espn, google, mapqwest, gizmodo, mobiledeviant.com, and more. All are links to mobile versions of the sites so they are wipeout/psp friendly! Use this if you don't want to do the winamp control or just want to test out the browser.

Step 2. Download and install Browseamp

download and install browseamp plugin at http://www.browseamp.com

Step 3. Configure Browseamp Plugin and copy seamonkey420s browseamp template
open up the mobile_seamonkey420.zip and extract it to the browseamp plugin folder (be sure to Keep Folder Names), ie c:\program files\winamp\plugins\browseamp...
 



open up winamp and configure browseamp plugin
Go to Option > Preferences
Then Plugins > General Purpose > Browseamp

Setup your port to run the webserver on. In my example i have setup port 9990. I would recommend using a higher non-used port.. also, you can start and stop the server here and enable logging or not.. you have to stop the server to make changes to the port..
 



Next, click the music folder tab. This is where you setup where your music files are saved. Browseamp does see subfolders.
 



Finally, setup the default skin to my psp-friendly template
 



Step 4. Setting up Moops to read portal from memory stick

open up the my portal zip file. Create the folder: portalpage, on in this folder on your memory stick, PSP\GAME.
Copy all of the files EXCEPT the index.html, mobile_seamonkey420.zip files, to this folder on your memory stick PSP\GAME\portalpage.

then copy the index.html to your moosp webserver folder.

what we are doing is setting up the portal page so that moops will instantly redirect the wipeout browser to a portal page on your psp's memory stick. Thus eliminating that annoying initial load time! ;-)

Step 5. Edit the psp_memorystick_index.html on to point to your browseamp server

finally, we will need to edit the psp_memorystick_index.html that we copied to the memory stick so that the link for winamp points to the browseamp server we will have running on your network.

just right click the file, then choose Open With > Notepad

the page will be opened by notepad, find this entry: http://browseampcomputerurl.com:port and replace it with the computer's ip thats running browseamp (and prob moops) and the port, ie http://192.168.0.10:9990.

then save the page.

Step 6. Enjoying your psp and winamp remote! Party time!

lastly, startup your MooPs server, open up winamp and make sure your browseamp server/plugin is started and running.

Then fire up Wipeout Pure and do the browser thing and start having some real control over your winamp.
 


Think parties? Shoutcast server? yea baby!

NOTES:
-one might be wondering why run both moops and the browseamp program? don't the ips conflict?
~nope... we are defining different ports, so we can have both apps run on the same computer.. however, one could set this up to have moops run on one pc, and then browseamp on a different pc or multiple pcs.. just make sure to setup links to each pc's browseamp address: port..

-i've done everything but nothing happens.. why????
~check to see if maybe you need to setup port forwarding/open up the ports we are using in your routers config screen. also, you might have to configure the XP firewall to allow Winamp and Moops to use those ports..

-as for finding the secondary dns, you can just go into your routers configuration screen and use the dns server it lists...

-here's a page that explains ip addresses and dns servers

-here is a list of great web utilities to test one's connections..
