Finding Your PSP's IP Address: Network Scanner Method

The PSP has **no menu to show its IP**. You must scan from another device on the same network.

Steps (Any OS)

1. Connect PSP to Wi-Fi: Settings → Network Settings → Infrastructure Mode → [Your AP] → Enter Password → **Save & Test**.
2. On a **computer/phone on same Wi-Fi**:

• Windows: arp -a in CMD (shows recent ARP table). Better: **Advanced IP Scanner** (free, GUI, shows vendor "Sony").
• macOS/Linux: arp -a or nmap -sn 192.168.1.0/24 (adjust subnet).
• Phone: **Fing** (iOS/Android) or **Network Analyzer**. Scan → look for "Sony", "PSP", "PlayStation Portable".

Identify the PSP

• MAC starts with **00:0D:67** (Sony), **00:13:1A**, **00:19:FD**, **00:1F:32**, **00:24:33**, **00:26:43**, **00:27:10**, **00:2A:5C**, **00:2C:E7**, **00:2D:26**, **00:2E:4D**, **00:2F:6B**, **00:30:7A**, **00:31:46**, **00:32:9F**, **00:33:CE**, **00:34:E1**, **00:35:8A**, **00:36:76**, **00:37:6E**, **00:38:91**, **00:39:7A**, **00:3A:8C**, **00:3B:9F**, **00:3C:B2**, **00:3D:C5**, **00:3E:D8**, **00:3F:EB** — many Sony blocks. Easier: **hostname** often "PSP-XXXX".

Troubleshooting

• Ensure **DHCP** enabled on router (default).
• PSP firmware 6.61 recommended (final OFW).
• If PSP doesn't respond to ping/ARP: Disable "Power Save" in Network Settings → "On" keeps Wi-Fi alive.
• Ad-Hoc mode (for local MP) **does not assign IP** — only Infrastructure mode does.

Once you have IP: Use for FTP (PSPFTPD homebrew), SMB (SMB Server homebrew), or remote control (PSP Remote Joy Lite → PC).
