I can't wait to see if other folks are interested in battling their AI-driven creations! You're a champ for even owning this, Duckroll! Double kudos.
Okay, here are the results from our little adventure:
Lumine 1 kinda works, if you scroll through the skins to select one it will disconnect. If you select Shining, it works but is kinda laggy (could be my connection, not sure) and it disconnects before a round is even over.
MGA1/2 might work, might not work, who knows. Flek has no saves so we couldn't even try it! :lol
GTA LCS might work, but by the time we got to that my PSP shut up autotmatically when WLAN was in use because the session totally made my battery go flat. :lol
Can't say it was very successful, but the interface works and is pretty cool.

Anyone know if Portable Ops works? It notices everything and such when in AdHoc Party, but can't find people to play. If it does work, anyone interested?

I thought that infrastructure mode was done with mpo? That's why I asked. My bad mate for not noticing. Thanks!
had a fairly successful session of monster hunter freedom 2, us version yesterday.
tried out multiple psp's to 1 ps3 and it works!
had a couple instances of dropping out in the middle of a mission where through few hours of play. and the quest may not always show up reliable. but just trying and it'll show up and doesn't seem to amount to anything more serious.

I think it was confirmed in last week's famitsu or jump.

I'm not sure where duckroll got that info, but I think it is from one of the magazines listed above.
For those interested, gundam vs gundam works with ad hoc party.

Full list of supporting titles, apparently:

Konami
Coded Arms
Jikkyou Powerful Pro Yakyuu Portable
Jikkyou Powerful Pro Yakyuu Portable 2
Jikkyou Powerful Pro Yakyuu Portable 3
Metal Gear Acid 2
What no MGS PO, are they dump or what or do they want to create Konami ID for that too, I know it has it's own online but come on playing this on the Ad-hoc system would rock.

Yeah, but that would be missing the point of Formula Front, IMO.

Best to wait for Monster Hunter Freedom Unite at this point really! Supposedly out "this spring".
Has anyone tried sending an email to someone from the Sony blog, maybe they can actually post an update on the blog as to when the US/EU will see AdHoc party. I don't see why they can't just translate the text and pass it off on the other servers so we can all test it out.
Edit: I thought there was an email option, guess not

Hmm forgot about that. There has to be some way to contact them right? Either that or maybe bug Sven at Capcom along with Monster hunter unite info?
Don't know if this form actually goes anywhere, but didn't notice they had an "Email us" link on the side

For Ad-Hoc Party Beta
To add to that, after searching around I found this *Taken from the official playstation forums and edited for general PSP gaming*
How to join a game:
Press circle to choose the first option on the Ad Hoc Party screen. You will be taken to and place that says 'World A' you can scroll through the worlds with the L1 and R1 buttons.
Find the World of your choice, now using the left or right analog stick find the lobby of your choice , then press circle to go into the lobby.
You will now see a close up of the lobby, press circle.
Now you may or may not see other people, you can talk to these people buy pressing start to bring up your keyboard. You can also press circle over their name, the first option makes you walk to them, the second option you can talk to them, the third option is 'add to friends list'.
You will also see houses. Each house represents someone hosting a game. Which game are playing? Well you don't really know until you go into the house. Some of the houses are named based on what game they are playing, but not always, so feel free to pop into any open house and ask what they are playing if you cannot tell. To enter a house, use the analog stick and set the target over the house, press circle, then chose the 2nd option. To exit a house press triangle, then chose the first option, then chose the option to the left.
Once you are in a house you can hook up a headset to your PS3 for voice chat.
Start up the PSP game of your choice and go into it's MP mode and search for a host. Make sure your WLAN switch is turned on.
How to host a game:
Use the analog stick to move the cursor find a clear spot in the lobby. Press Circle.
Chose the second option.
Three more options will appear. Press Circle on the First Box to name your house.
In the third box you can set a password.
You are now hosting a game. While hosting a game you can press Triangle to bring up host options:
The first box is to leave your house. Simply press Circle, then chose the option on the left.
The Second box is to set the description of your house, press circle on the second option and a key board will come up.
Third option is to open or close the door. An open door means anyone can come in, a closed door means no one can come in. It is a good idea to close the door if your party is full. The option on the left opens the door, the option on the right closes the door.
The fourth option is to kick the player from the room. It bans them and they cant get back in.
Im going to try and host a game in World J Lobby 64. It'll be Phantasy Star Portable trial mode, but still worth a shot. Apparently retail version games can still play with trial version games. Password is believe.

Here is a brief translation to the front end title screen in order from top to bottom, there are only 4 selections and its easy to navigate through.
Start: "Start" is the ad hoc Party portal allowing to select a server called "World" and a meeting area called "Lobby"
Jump: "Jump" is made for selecting "Friend List" (フレンドリスト
Ad hoc : "ad hoc" is used to connect the PlayStation 3 with an activated PlayStation Portable.
Information page: The "Information page" is the PlayStation 3 built-in web browser restricted online user manual for adhoc Party.
