PSP Online Infastructure Mode gaming match ups/requests

[roobarb]

So has anyone actually used this wireless multiplayer feature yet with their new PSPs ?

I searched for some games of Wipeout yesterday to no avail, and so set one up which nobody connected to during the minute or so that I left it.

I have to say it's not all that surprising but would anybody fancy a game?

Also I imagine across the internet in infrastructure mode this should be able to connect with people in the US - am I right? (although lag time may be a limiting factor)

I've played Greztky online using the built in online mode - worked ok, but it's kind of weird as there's no way of chatting or interacting with the opponent, so it might as well be the CPU.....

I'm up for a game against someone on here if other people have it...

[Rossco]

ME!! I'll play you RIGHT NOW! I'll host and you join ok?

[Gavin]

I'm up for Gretzky later....

hmmm you say you were trying with Wipeout Pure? I was under the impression that this game didn't have an online mode.

When you search for wireless games on WOP you are actually looking for games being hosted nearby.

[NeilMcRae]

wipeout pure has no infrastructure mode its pure your mates in the same room.

[Gavin]

Maybe he was using Kai/xlink?

[Lyrical Donut]

Maybe he was using Kai/xlink?

Yeah, WipeOut does work online over Xlink.

Wouldn't mind some games either!

Provided people have the right setup :/

[roobarb]

no I was being a muppet and assuming it was using my infrastructure profile that I had just set up and tested

So I'm not sure if I can get xlink to work with my setup - I have a NetGear Access Point & Modem in one - don't you need a seperate card or something for peer-to-peer connection ?

[in5ane]

Yeah, you need a seperate card and not a wifi router (which i have ) - i have a spare wifi card knocking around somewhere, but it's a lot of effort putting it in just to try this

Has anyone tried this yet? Supposedly a way to access all of the PSP's Wi-Fi capaibilities (including Xlink/Kai) with nothing more than a computer and a wireless adapter. I've ordered a Dlink Wireless adapter basically because I can't afford a Wireless router now, and can always return it if it doesn't work.

[Rossco]

Just realised something, I was playing Gretzky with my mate via infrastructure earlier, he was using his wireless and I was using my neighbours which he doesn't lock!

But this means I won't be able to play him via Xlink Kai on any other games because the connection isn't coming through my PC!?

Correct? If so...

[MonkeyWrench]

I doesn't look anything new...people have been doing this since the release of the PSP (there's a few threads on here about it). I bought a USB dongle on the back of it a few months back to play Ridge Racers via Xlink.

[Zed]

Ummm, so which games DO have a native Infrastrucutre mode built-in? I thought Metal Gear Ac!d did, but must only be ad hoc too.

Gretzsky? ummm...?

Twisted Metal has Infrastructure mode and a nice online lobby for setting up games. I think Untold Legends has it as well although I am not sure because I've just read about it.
