The PS3 can access UPnP media server such a mythtv, twonkey etc.

This link is to the Open remote play site which has the source code for the reverse engineering of the remote play protocol. Using it requires a psp which can run homebrew. There was a linux port being created i am not sure if it was released or not.

well, you could definitly use it as a tv remote for the ps3, after connecting it, so playing games should be possible, too. BUT, I think there's a problem with the recognization of the controller number, you cannot just get a PS3 controller and play with it wireless. At first you need to plug it in, via USB. And here comes the problem, probably sony checks via some internal protocols, whether or not it is an official controller and only if, allows it to connect.
Anyway, I still think connecting it via Bluetooth to use it for things like start Blurays and stuff should be possible.
If I missread your topic completely and you're talking about remote play via internet or the local network, that won't work, sony allows only 2 devices the connection to the ps3 in that way - the PSP and the location free player.

Seeing as it's via a psp, and my psp is.. "liberated" one could simply copy everything off of the psp, kind of like a semi-psp emulator

and you totally missed the point, the topic IS ABOUT making the n900 work like the psp does..

@ cocayden
It seems like you're referring to the exploit being ported from the XP version, but that was patched up in ps3 fw 2.8

anyone not updated their ps3 yet?

*bump*

no capitals for tags, lame

Ohhhh!!!
This would be great, connecting the n900 up as just a bluetooth peripheral. As the keyboard, i would be able to type sooo much quicker.

A dev should make an app for this.

You can already connect a Maemo device to a PS3 as a Bluetooth controller, see BlueMaemo. The potential app in discussion here is for something else. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remote_Play

Can anyone give me some pointers on how I could start trying to make this app?

like even what language i'd have to code in?

I have 0 idea in this field, total noob, who just graduated, 5 months to get *something* done XD

@optimaxxx
Yes I was referring to the exploit that was patch. But some of the information on protocols from that project would be useful if you are looking at creating a remote play application.

wow, i was totally wrong, they never updated the wikipage (which is probs a good thing), they managed to get it working again for fw2.8!!

this is huge, now all we have to do is simply port it!

yay for hope!
