How well does RemoteJoy work for you?

[Cyber Akuma]

Granted, I have an old system, its only a Pentium3, but I do have a USB 2.0 card in there.

Anyway, RemoteJoy was incredibly laggy for me even on just the XMB. Controlling it through the PC was very unresponsive and took a while for the screen to update on the PC, and when I try to start a game it loses connection.

Is this anyone else's expirence or does it actually work smoothly for you? I was thinking about using this to capture video from my PSP but I want it to be flawless, if its a buggy, slow, jittery mess like this there would be no point in using it to record video. But if its just my PC I can see if I can try to get RemoteJoy installed on my laptop.

That PC specs will give you that result. On my PC, I can play it fullspeed. Btw, I'm using remotejoy from irshell.

I just tried remote joy the other day for the first time with IrShell and the Easy GUI of remote joy. I thought it worked pretty good. Not something I'd use much, I just wanted to see what it was like just for the hell of it. It seemed like the refresh rate gets a little choppy sometimes if there is a lot of stuff going on but other than that considering it's running off of a USB cable and 2 pieces of software it did quite well. Played a game of MOHH2 online, makes it a bit easier to see a little piece of someones helmet peeking over a crate to snipe :)

its coz your using cygwin to emulate linux api functionality. try it under a true linux os and you'll find it runs fine even on an old computer

have you tried it your self if yes under what linux/kernal?

i have an old pentium iii laying around with all kinds of linux flavors

I have a Vista/Ubuntu laptop but I am having a hell of a time getting my hardware to work in Ubuntu. 2D/3D acceleration isnt supported, webcam isn't supported, soudncard isnt supported, wifi isnt supported, and God knows what else...

yes i've used remotejoy under windows/cygwin and under linux

btw i'm using the latest ubuntu (7.10) but maybe xubuntu would be best for that old pentium;)

@cyber akuma have you had a look under system>admininistration>restricted drivers manager

PC specs DOES affect performance at playing with Remotejoy.

Fullspeed on at least Athlon 64 3000, i'm using currently a Prescott 2.4ghz crap and it becomes around 40fps of 60fps, at least playing Tekken Dark Resurrection, the only game i actively played with it and i even have recorded a videocombo, using some weird software combination to capture a screen portion.

Completely processor dependant, and maybe the netburst architeture is just crappy to hand a task like video exporting with remotejoy.

And also you need your PSP at 333mhz, or it will play at slowmotion, on Tekken DR case.

Wrong. I had try playing with my Pentium 3 + Geforce 2 Ti and the speed was very very very worst. Go try it by yourself if you said PC specs didn't affect performance with remotejoy.

RemoteJoy video output uses software acceleration to draw the screen so general PC specs are important, the GFX card is more or less irrelevant. A good USB/PCI pipe (motherboard), fast harddrive and lots of RAM (for Windows) and CPU power are recommended. Linux USB performance (and with it remotejoy) is better if you can get it working. On Windows systems there are often other USB devices or services messing up speeds. I never have issues, however.
