Remote Joy Lite allows a user to use a computer screen as a PSP screen. After setup, the user can play games with the video on the computer screen and the PSP as a controller. Remote Joy Lite can also capture videos and take screenshots. The PSP must be running custom firmware to use Remote Joy Lite.
