How does your PSP find your PS3 if you dont have a static IP?

How does your PSP find your PS3 if you dont have a static IP?

It finds it via the PSN; You leave the PS3 logged into the network and you enter your PSN login info when you turn on Remote Play in the PSP.

 

[Chris R]

This is exciting, but don't PSP owners already "back up" their PS1 games anyway?

It is the only reason I got a PSP :lol (but I have been rewarded with several great titles that I wouldn't have had the chance to play otherwise).
I feel glad that others can now play PS1 games on the go, but really, CFW is still better since I have the "disc" on my memory stick and can "switch" them out on the go. Having CT, FFVI, FFIX Disc 1 & 2 and THPS on my PSP rocks

 

[Paranoid_Robot]

Is there any chance of it letting us load the disc on the PS3 and transfer it to the PSP so that we don't have to turn the PS3 on to play it?

Edit: Stupid question I guess because that would put PSN PS1 games out of business (like they ever were in business, only got about 10 over here in the EU).

 

[Cruzader]

Doesn't the PSP's battery only last like an hour and a half with wifi enabled? This doesn't seem very practical.

Don't you guys love Sony Haters?:lol

Their motto must be :"anywhere, anytime"

Anyways this is a really cools feature but should be told to the public instead of a stealth update thing.

Also wont this kill PS1 DL from PSN store?Unless they only release rare titles?

wow thats cool! Can someone try this to confirm it?

COOL AS FUCKING HELL. Now I will actually play FF9 and finish vagrant stories

If it's a game I don't currently own and the price is right, I'll still buy it

 

[oneHeero]

The ps3 can hold multiple disc in it and swaps them out accordingly...

:lol

You're kidding right?

Of course, I thought the other guy was kidding when he asked about multiple discs :lol

 

[Baker]

Am I crazy, or does the PSP only have a wireless B card in it? I can't find anything in the documentation.

In theory, I have no problem broadcasting B and G, but I've noticed I can't host in some games on the 360 when doing so.

Not crazy, it only has B. If I'm not mistaken, when you enable B & G broadcasting and you connect a B device to the network, all wifi devices downgrade to B speeds.

So tempted to buy a PSP now... Is Sony selling replacement battery covers for the slim white PSP without the Darth Vader silhouette?

 

[Angry Grimace]

How does the PSP take into account there were four shoulder buttons on original PS1 games

 

[Agent X]

Hmm....after playing both Wipeout and Castlevania through remote play, it appears that slow paced games or rpgs are the best fit for this feature. Anything that requires precise timing will not be that great because there is lag that creeps in. What experience are you guys having?

Similar.

I tried Tempest X3 as a test. My eyes lit up at seeing beautiful Tempest goodness gracing my PSP screen. However, after a few minutes, I stopped playing, because the input lag is so persistent that it made the game practically unplayable.

This will certainly be great for turn-based games (like board games and some RPGs), but the lag makes it impractical for action games. With that in mind, out of the 62 PS1 games I own, this reduces the number of reasonably playable titles in my collection to...2.

The next step would be the ability to "rip" your own PS1 discs to the PS3, and subsequently transfer the rips to the PSP so that they play using the PSP's own PS1 emulation. When that happens, then my enthusiasm will increase greatly.

 

[mrkgoo]

Ok, this makes me want a psp. And I don't even have any Ps1 games.

 

[StarEye]

Yep, I have always wanted to play all the great ps1 rpgs I missed, but playing them on my HD TV just annoyed me. Vagrant Story and Parasite Eve here I come.

You know, this could actually kill off some sales for forthcoming DS ports of FF games.

 

[Steroyd]

Upping the response time seems to have solved me playing Crash Bandicoot, but I can't play CB as fluently.

 

[StarEye]

Uhm, anyone tried Gran Turismo 2 yet? Who needs GT Mobile when we got the best already?

 

[sprocket]

Now we need more ps1 downloads in the store!

 

[tanod]

How does your PSP find your PS3 if you dont have a static IP?

MAC address:

A unique number assigned to every computer/thing plugged into the internet.

So tempted to buy a PSP now... Is Sony selling replacement battery covers for the slim white PSP without the Darth Vader silhouette?

Yes. Third parties do as well.

I think if they didn't have the Darth Vader cover on the white one, they would have sold a lot more. Lots of anecdotal reports saying that the Battlefront bundle doesn't sell near as well as the Silver Daxter model.

 

[Firewire]

Is it because of the Darth Vader cover or is it because Star Wars Battlefront: Renegade Squadron isn't that great? A few people have told me they weren't all that impressed with the game.

 

[FabCam]

I'm about to try this with FF8, FF9 and Spyro 3. My PSP is on low battery though, so it'll take a while until I can install the update...

 

[tanod]

Both? I think that I heard the Battlefront bundle doesn't come with a memory stick either.

 

[Jim]

The Battlefront bundle also has a rather mediocre game included and no Family Guy UMD or Memory Stick for the same price. It's kinda niche

Spoiler

and ugly

[Flek]

qft

sony firmware updates are made off pure awesome golden WIN!

 

[Shinjitsu]

Or the same copy of Everyday Shooter everybody else does, you know the one that uses the face butons to fire?

I'm a fucking retard.:lol

 

[Dez]

MAC address:

A unique number assigned to every computer/thing plugged into the internet.

If the PS3 is offline, you shouldn't be possible to communicate with it, even if you know the mac address. Clearly, the PS3 must have some internet connectivity (ie, an IP) when it's off, right?

 

[Kosma]

Holy shit, tottaly time to get my GF's PSP, Silent Hill 1 here I come!

 

[Windu]

awsome, too bad I don't have any PS1 games

..or a PS3.

 

[Kosma]

SHITFUCK I don't have Wifi at home.

 

[Crisis]

SHITFUCK I don't have Wifi at home.

So? You can plug it into a router and have it work.

So it is a bit of both and some of the extras you don't get. I had no idea the Star Wars bundle was missing the memory stick and the Family Guy UMD. The Daxter bundle is way better!

 

[acidviper]

Man that's sad. Are you people really justifying your PS3 purchase with meaningless features. Sure it looks interesting and buggy, but if you've paid $500-1000 in consoles to play PS1 games, yeesh.

 

[Jim]

Setting the PS3 to Wake on Remote Play puts it in a standby mode with the needed connectivity.

 

[Kosma]

So? You can plug it into a router and have it work.

I feel like such a noob, don't I need internet for this? Router is in the basement that won't work.

Sigh.

 

[Cruzader]

SHITFUCK I don't have Wifi at home.

cant you do remote play with USB cable?

 

[Xisiqomelir]

SHITFUCK I don't have Wifi at home.

Wireless routers cost less than next-gen games.

EDIT:

Well, before you head are sent off into B-town and can't read this response, I'm trying to use it to justify a PSP purchase. My PS3 has paid for itself very well in entertainment value already.

 

[Kosma]

cant you do remote play with USB cable?

Then I might as well play it on my TV

 

[BeEatNU]

SHITFUCK I don't have Wifi at home.

wired works now, been workings ince 1.6 iirc.

 

[Crisis]

QFT. Some really nice ones at that. They're worth the investment.

 

[Jim]

Which is why the Daxter pack is actually sold out online at a lot of retailers... Not available at Amazon, Best Buy, Circuit City, Buy.com, EBGames.com, etc. It's selling REALLY well.

 

[kaching]

wired works now, been workings ince 1.6 iirc.

The PSP is solely a wireless device though.

Like others have said, get a wireless router. Well worth it for the expanded flexibility it'll give your home network connection.

 

[TaKeRx]

Is everybody's screen not full screen when playing ps1 games? great feature though

 

[SCReuter]

Man that's sad. Are you people really justifying your PS3 purchase with meaningless features. Sure it looks interesting and buggy, but if you've paid $500-1000 in consoles to play PS1 games, yeesh.

That was totally necessary.

 

[FabCam]

Man that's sad. Are you people really justifying your PS3 purchase with meaningless features. Sure it looks interesting and buggy, but if you've paid $500-1000 in consoles to play PS1 games, yeesh.

Erm, when you can play some of the greatest games ever made on the other side of the world via you PS3 on your PSP that's pretty good. amirite?

 

[Dante]

Man that's sad. Are you people really justifying your PS3 purchase with meaningless features. Sure it looks interesting and buggy, but if you've paid $500-1000 in consoles to play PS1 games, yeesh.

I said WOW.....Literally.

 

[Yagharek]

After 20 minutes I finally realised this means portable MGS1.

Oh my.

 

[Amon37]

I had a 2 year warranty on my fat psp and when it broke last weekend and I went to bestbuy to exchange all they had were Battlefront bundles, no Daxter and no regular black slims.

 

[tanod]

If the PS3 is offline, you shouldn't be possible to communicate with it, even if you know the mac address. Clearly, the PS3 must have some internet connectivity (ie, an IP) when it's off, right?

Yeah. When the PS3's off, it's in a low power standby mode. PS3 also has Wake-on-LAN.

It has an IP, of course, but the PSP uses the MAC address to locate your PS3.

For those that don't know a lot about remote play:

Note that only one PSP can be linked to a PS3 via remote play at a time and has to be physically connected to register it in the first place so don't expect to be able to connect to anybody else's PS3 except your own or anybody else to connect to yours.

 

[Pellham]

Wow, amazing feature. I'm definately going to love that when I get around to getting a PS3 (still waiting for the next inevitable price drop + some killer apps).
