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.

you are right, Jpcsp needs a more user friendly interface,
someone even can not run jpcsp in there just because they did not find a exe file ( and that is why I use jpcspLauncher)
jpcsp also need a Proposal for default settings, so the jpcsp new user may not need setting jpcsp and run jpcsp in a faster way.

“ the main advantage of ProOnline was to play "online" with remote users and also being able to chat with other players”

in fact, My friends and I are already play "online" ,my friend Soul_make魂 even provide another ProOnline server in internet. you can play online whatever you use JPCSP,PPSSPP,PSP.
