“Have you ever been laying on the couch or in your bed, or sitting in your back yard and just wanted to watch a video, or listen to a song but it wasn’t already copied to your memory stick? Now you can. PiMPStreamer streams media over your wireless network, so it is accessable from your wireless network. If you have the bandwidth you can even stream over the internet. It’s simple, no need for converting, muxing, encoding, etc.
How do I start?
Simple, download the PiMPStreamer installer, and your already most of the way there. You will need about 3 megs of free space available on your PSPs memory card and around 22 megs of available space on your computers hard drive to complete the installation. You will also need to be running firmware 1.5 on your PSP. Connect your PSP to your computer using the USB cable, and initiate USB file transfer mode.
Now, run the PiMPStreamer Installer file that you just downloaded. It will install the software to your computer and to your PSP at the same time. This installer *should* detect your ip address settings for you and insert that information into the configuration files. Once this is complete, run PiMPStreamer. You should now be looking at a screen like the one below.

Once you are, start adding the directories where you store all of your media, and you are almost ready to go.
Now run PiMPStreamer on your PSP. Select your wireless network, it may take some time to connect be patient. If it takes longer than 2 minutes, its not working. Check the config files on your local hard drive and on your PSP. Once you are connected, you will see the directories that you have just added on your computer. Browse to one, select what you want to watch or listen to, and you are good to go.
Hints
If you are behind a router and the computer with all your media on it is not set as DMZ you will need to forward port 3333 towards that computer from your router. On that note, if you are running a firewall, please allow connections on that port.”
