Intro

Provide PSP games from e.g. PC to smartphone wirelessly and load them using PPSSPP remote disc

Variants

• nodejs: Runs an http-server in a docker container, serving games. This is the most lightweight and recommended variant.

• cmake: Pulls the latest ppsspp from its repo, then compiles a linux version, puts it in a docker container and configures it to serve games.

• flathub: Failure. Flathub didn't work as planned and gave weird errors while trying to get ppsspp from their repo. Discontinued and archived.

Setup

Server (Docker)

• <restart_type> can be e.g. always, more types here
• <local_port> should be the port to serve the app on
• <local_dir> the directory that holds the games, e.g. C:\Users\User\Games\PSP\iso

Windows

docker run `
    -d `
    --restart <restart_type> `
    --name doganm95-ppsspp-remote-disc-server `
    -p <local_port>:8300 `
    -v "<local_dir>:/var/isos/" `
    ghcr.io/doganm95/ppsspp-remote-disc-server

Linux

docker run \
    -d \
    --restart <restart_type> \
    --name doganm95-ppsspp-remote-disc-server \
    -p <local_port>:8300 \
    -v "<local_dir>:/var/isos/" \
    ghcr.io/doganm95/ppsspp-remote-disc-server

Client (Android/IOS)

• Open the app, click Settings -> Tools -> Remote disc streaming
• Click Settings, enable manually configure client
  • Set Remote server to the ip address of the server, e.g. 192.168.0.155
  • Set Remote port to the respective port, e.g. 8300
• Go back and click Browse games

Notes

• Browsing remote discs for the first time, it may only shows empty tiles first, while the games and their icons load. This happens every time, a new game is added and may take a minute, depending on your hardware. After that, the list will be cached and load immediately the next time (except a new game is added again)
• The ghcr image is based off the nodejs variant
