about ProOnline support

how about the support for ProOnline, could it work now, how to enable it?

I added support for ProOnline networking around 2 years ago but was flamed by a lot of Jpcsp users for adding such a "niche" feature, so I stopped research in this direction. It was never officially released but can be activated by adding the command line option "--ProOnline" into the start script (start-windows-x86.bat / start-windows-amd64.bat). It requires a router supporting UPnP (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Plug_and_Play ).

I try activated ProOnline by using jpcspLauncher



to change “metaServer” I add this line in Settings.properties

Code:

network.ProOnline.metaServer=192.168.220.8

and then ProOnline has been activated.
thought ProOnline support is experimental, It can work now, and support more game than PPSSPP.

I didn't thought of this use case to connect Jpcsp with PPSSPP and a real PSP. I was considering the main advantage of ProOnline was to play "online" with remote users and also being able to chat with other players (using a real PC keyboard is much faster).

The whole network support in Jpcsp needs a more user friendly interface: port shift configuration, multiple broadcast addresses, ProOnline... all these features are existing but only accessible through settings or command line options, which is not very user friendly.
