.:[PSP Multiplayer]:. Tutorial -//-
Basically, my first idea when I got my japanese psp was to work on learning how to program a psp game. Sadly I got a newer version and it will not run homebrew code, so for the moment I am on hold. BUT...

My next idea was to figure out online gaming. Since I don't know people locally that have psps yet This brought me to learn how to setup the PSP for online gaming. Heres a easy how-to, getting you setup for playing online games with your PSP in 5 easy steps.

-----------------------------
Requirements (assuming you own a psp & games):
Kai - here
A Linksys WRT54G, WRT546S, or Buffalo WBR-G54 wireless router
Updated Firmware - here
-----------------------------

-----------------------------
My Personal Setup
--/System
Japanese PSP ver 1.5 (country/version shouldn't matter)
WRT54G v.2 Wireless Router
--/Games: (Tested/Untested with online gameplay)
Wipeout Pure (compatable)
THUG2 remix (compatable)
Metal Gear Acid (n/a)
-----------------------------


Step #1

• Download and install Kai
• Create a XTag
• Run the newly installed Start Kai Config Tool from the Start Menu (in Xlink KAI Evolution 7)
• Under UI select Java (optional)
• Check "Enable PAT" and "Lauch UI" and enter your XTag info
• Uncheck "Lauch Engine"

Step #2

• Open your router configuration and login (http://192.168.1.1 - standard linksys default router ip)
• Goto --> Administration --> Firmware Upgrade
• Select the firmware you downloaded previously
• Press Update

Step #3

• Log back into your router configuration
• Disable Wireless --> MAC Filter
• Goto --> Administration --> Management, make sure autologin is enabled and enter your XTag
• For your Interface (same menu) enter.......
• br0 - allows xbox and psp to function
• eth2 - PSP only on Linksys WRT54G 1.0 and 1.1, and Buffalo WBR-G54 wifi routers
• eth1 - PSP only on Linksys WRT56G 2.0 and 2.2 routers
• Goto Administration --> Kaid
• Click Start Kaid

Step #4

• Start XLink KAI
• Goto --> Menu --> Settings
• In GUI settings : Specify the IP address of your router
• Enter your XTag information
• Connect and join the PSP arena and select your game
• On your PSP : Goto Multiplayer mode and join or host a game
• In your router config window - GoTo --> Administrator --> Kaid and press "Scan PSP"

Step #5
Enjoy!

If you have any problems setting this up please report them in this thread and Ill try and give you any assistance. Remember to always double check your setup! You are responcible if you mess up your psp/computer/router/dog/cat etc. while using this method. This method was composed from my personal experience and the experience of others and has worked for everyone I have shown it to thus far.


(here is a picture of me connecting to a online game wirelessly over the internet)

nice tut. btw if you don't own a psp 1.0, a nice way to start programming for the psp is with pspe, which is a little emulator that runs every homebrew made for the psp. here's the link.

[hb2k]

sry if this is a really noob question but. if you have a wireless router cant you just connect to games through the actual games? i mean cant me and somebody somewhere else in the world join a twisted metal game together as long as we are both in a hotspot. if so i dont see the point of using kai.

[Flexmaster Frag]

I believe only Twisted Metal works in Infrastructure Mode, which is for communication through a wireless access point. All the other games though, do not support Infrastructure but Ad Hoc, which direct communication without the access point (much like a system link). Kai is needed to trick the PSP into thinking its in a system link with PSPs across the globe. It basically fakes the Infrastructure mode so to speak.

[midiemulation]

I don't want to bump a tutorial but get your a$$es on KAI so I can play some of you. Are people having issues setting it up or what. I will assist as much as I can in this thread.

[br0w]

i dont have the router you have, but i have some other routers and i have one linkys usb adapter. can i get it to work?

[basso4735]

no router

cry

[atomiX]

nicely done.
i cannot try this for myself so i can't verify it's contents so if a few people report success with this tutorial, i will add it to HSDEMONZ's pinned FAQ topic.

[rony2211]

it works for me pretty easy to set up just no one playing online we need to start a topic of say games members have to play online and how to get in touch with them say by pm or email just a thought

[leijae]

i'm on a college campus with cisco wireless access points at just about every corner, will these work? i figure since token ring is basically obsolete, then any cisco router should work.

[midiemulation]

im looking into other routers - at the moment i know that some dlinks work as well as some wifi pci cards (not sure which).

[midiemulation]

I have been helping a few people get this program setup and I found an updated list of compatable wifi cards that work with your PSP and KAI. Check first before buying a card in the list below and post your results. Thanks!

Firstly, please take the following into consideration. Your wireless network card may detect your PSP, but you STILL might not be able to play. The following list is a guide of what our users have used and confirmed working on THEIR home network - no guarantees are given it will work on yours, and there may be issues with different revisions of the cards.
