adhocParty - PSP Online

[Kendrik]

I was wondering if any of you folks use adhocParty on your PS3 to play PSP games online. Given that adhocParty is a free download through the PSN Store, it's a pretty good deal.

As a quick primer if you're unfamiliar with it, adhocParty is a PS3 app that acts as a bridge that allows PSP games with adhoc mode to be played on the internet with others, simulating an infrastructure mode (and allowing voice chat and other features that wouldn't otherwise be available). More details on Wikipedia.

In practical terms, games like the Monster Hunter Freedom series and Phantasy Star Portable can be played online. Being a Phantasy Star fanboy (I pretty much bought a PSP forever ago just so I could import the Japanese release of the game), this is a pretty huge deal.

I currently have Guilty Gear Judgment (which is a total steal for $6 via the PSN Store... especially since it's practically two distinct games) to use with adhocParty, and I have Monster Hunter Freedom Unite on the way. I'd pick up the American release of Phantasy Star Portable in a heartbeat if anyone wants to play that.

It'd be cool if some of you were interested in using this service. Let me know if you wanna give it a go.

Sooo, it's like an online LAN mode?

Ja. That seems a fair way to put it.

Sooo I could get MGSW and still play co-op? @_@

If the game has an adhoc mode... then hai.

 

[Keero]

I'll need to check this out soon then. >.>

Blast. Just one more reason to want a PSP.

That, and Capcom REFUSES (caps completely intentional) to release a version of Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo for the DS.

Peacewalker indeed has adhoc

2-4 people depending on the mission

This is very interesting, like Hamachi for the PSP. Thanks for the heads up! Now to gather up my Disgaea armies... Mwahahahahahaha.

(Not really, they're not even leveled into the thousands.)

so, i know i need a notebook harddrive for my ps3?

does it matter other than that?

i'm gonna pick up a new HDD this weekend probably to see if it can bring my ps3 to the realm of the undead

Not sure if a new drive will fix any issues you have, but any 2.5" SATA will work. This is what I'm running...

Haven't had any problems so far that I know of, lots of space. Of course you could always go bigger!

Dungeon Siege reprint @ $10. Supposed to be pretty good for hack/slash/loot gameplay. Ad hoc co-op. Just in time for this thread! Anyone up for rockin' some of this come late June?

(Pirates! is also being reprinted @ $10...get it while you can!)

Whoa. I didn't even realize Dungeon Siege saw a PSP release. That's pretty neat. Thanks for the heads up.

I have Monster Hunter Freedom Unite in my possession now. Don't know if anyone else here is a fan, but I haven't wanted to put it down all day.
