I haven't looked, but is Wipeout Pure infrastructure? I tried looking, and it never finds anything.

LonestarGA is the PSP name

 

[Shadax]

No Wipeout Pure isn't Infrastructure. I guess it would be helpful if I listed the online games, huh?

 

[number386]

PSP nickname is Lancelet Pink.

Anyone up for some twisted metal: head on now?

LOL we postwed at the same time, I'll join your game.

Me too....hey, I'll create a game called GAF, join that...doesn't seem to be a player search option in this game.

 

[Shadax]

I keep getting booted off....I know my signal isn't the strongest where I am, but still....anyone else having problems?

Yeah I though you were in the game there were 6 people, next thing I know there are only 2 players in the game. What location are you in?

 

[Shadax]

I'm at home, downstairs. The connection is about 65%, should be plenty to work (my PC works fine at this location wirelessly). Maybe it's because I have asynchronous options on for the game (to allow in-game join by other players)?

Edit: Got it to work, played for about 30 seconds against a guy then I got connection failed again.

[Jim]

Hah.. yah! I lurk.. The forum is way too distracting, so I stay out usually. Now the PSP is doing the distracting

Trying to get some quick play time in at work.. boss is out of the office right this sec

 

[number386]

Awseome games, DJ demon J, and Jim-Gaming-age. I just found my new car and it's thumper the pink cadillac, gonna get some grub to to eat I'll be back later. To bad Sony didn't include a built in mic like the DS that would of kicked so much ass for online play.

 

[Soul4ger]

Anyone else having a problem creating an account for Twisted Metal?

That may have caused problems for the rest of the world when us crazy gamers are yelling "SUCK IT DOWN BITCH!" or "You guys get the hostages and meet me at the exit!" at their PSPs on the train or in a Starbucks. :lol

 

[Soul4ger]

Little help. It detects my network connection, I get on, and when I try to enter a name and password, it says "ATTEMPT FAILED." What's goin' down?

 

[Lonestar]

ahh, that sucks for wipeout, it's all I have

That would be hilarious, using headphones would solve the cursing/lewdness issue. Although people may think your bonkers when you talk to your PSP :lol

Not sure it worked for me, when I did it. Did you try the network test on the network settings?

 

[Soul4ger]

I'll do that right now.
Is that the thing just to create the wireless LAN connection? I made one for my house. It detected my wireless router and stuff. It has all the information and shit. What's the encryption thing for? I'm just using "none." Could that be a problem?
Did the test. It worked fine. Gave me all the data.

 

[Musashi Wins!]

It could be a problem if you don't want people leeching your wireless. Just go to your router page and set up a code (if I'm understanding you right).

Mine is MusashiWins! (for ease of use!)

I'll hop on and try to get mine working later (and set it up at work tomorrow).

 

[Soul4ger]

I got on, but I can't connect to a game to save myself.

 

[number386]

^ Same here for Twisted Metal I can get on the lobby but I cant connect to games, which is wierd because I got on just fine earlier today and played some games.

And when did they make the driver of Thumper a girl? Guess it doesn't really matter, to bad they took out his flamethrower that kicked ass.

 

[Lonestar]

picked up twisted metal, and surprised at how well it runs. tried online once, and got to the lobby, but the one game I tried failed to connect.

 

[jwang]

the "WLAN Power Save" option is under System Settings > Power Save Settings. it defaults to ON, which means the PSP will turn off the wireless transmitter from time to time (to save power).

WLAN Power Save only affects Infrastructure mode (Internet) connections through a wireless router/access point. turn this option OFF to improve your connectivity. from another PC on the same wireless network, you can continously ping your PSP before and after this change to see the difference it makes.

go forth and tell other online PSP players to do the same.

 

[Schmo Florez]

Anyone up for some Twisted Metal at any time lemmie know.

nickname: el schmo

BTW: great advice jwang!

 

[Kung Fu Jedi]

Yep, turning off the WLAN power save option made my connection a lot better. Thanks for the tip. Been playing online this afternoon and enjoying it quite a bit. PSP rocks!

BTW, my online handle is Kung Fu Jedi. Hope to see you guys online.

Oh yeah, and TM is great, but I seem to be the guy who dishes out the most damage, but doesn't quite finish the job. Must practice!
