What are your favorite Homebrew program and games?

Dosbox let's your run old dos computer games on newer systems (windows, linux, psp, etc). It was originally made because even in windows you can't play *many* dos games. Some games take ALOT of cpu power to run on it still (I couldn't get "The Elder Scrolls: The Arena" to run full speed on my 2.1 ghz machine) but many many games run perfect in dosbox.

VNC lets you run your computer's desktop over the network, but I found pspdisp works faster for that. Though pspdisp has a better framerate, it runs over usb cable, so it's not wireless... VNC is not very usefull on the road though since you need to be on a network to access it. It's good for stuff though if you setup your VNC server on your computer to be available on the internet (with a real good password) and access your computer from a hotspot on the road. I would probly use PSPDisp to do that for gaming since it get's better framerate than VNC.

There have been videos on youtube of people running windows 98 on their psp, but it takes a real long time for it to boot up. I believe they were using bochs.

Back to DOSBOX, the advantage there is it all runs on your psp (or windows, linux or mac box) off the memory card and therefore you don't need to be connected to a pc. And there are many free games available from "abandonware" sites. Aka, games that the company's that owned their liscenses went under or gave the game to the public since they aren't making money off it anymore and feel generous. Such DOS games that are concidered abandonware/freeware now: Grand Theft Auto 1 and 2, Return to Krondor, MDK, Elder Scrolls 3: The Arena, etc. If you good for abandonware you will find many great free download legal sites with these games and thousands more. Relive gaming's past with alot of these titles. Just make sure you virus scan all the files of course, since you should never *trust* any download site really.

Installed VNC, Hmm, Does it work from far away? Can I set a IP, and Connect from a different network? And what kind of stuff do you do with it? I like the "Keyboard" on Homebrew, such as on VNC, and on Counterstrike 2d. hate the Sony keyboard thingy.
Also, any program to wirelessly play .mp4 files?
And other nice homebrew that has with pc connection

Weezle>> Yes, you forward the port on your router for your computer's VNC port, and you can connect from over the internet.

And what kind of stuff do you do with it?

Weezle>> Control your computer remotely
