XLink Kai

how do you use xlink? and what is it again XD

In order to be able to play PSP games online, we need to use Kai at the moment. Here's a quick summary and set-up guide. I'm available to play MHP2G and a few other games, just ym me

XLink Kai is a method developed by Team-XLink for online play of certain compatible console/PSP games. For XLink Kai to work, the Kai client program must be installed and running on a compatible personal computer or Linux device. The Kai client is required to let consoles connect online. XLink Kai acts like a proprietary LAN network that "tunnels" games over the internet to connect users from all over the world, creating a massive online gaming network with this free networking service.

Si Mix lang kasi may slim PS2 eh. XD So lahat kami walang means na mag online.

Diba si Mark may slim narin? Mark laban tayo! Hahaha

Oh yeah topic necro'd.

Does Adhoc Party not work for you guys in the Phillies? You should be able to download it from either the JP or NA PSN stores, assuming you have PS3's, though. If you don't have a PS3 you'll have to go the Kai route. Kai's definitely cheaper, but it's also more likely to have connection problems.

Quite the dilemma.

=\



EDIT: I'd love to be able to play you guys over Kai or Adhoc. Hit me up sometime and I'll see if we get under 250ms ping on one of them!

LCC and I managed to get Kai to work once before in an NX match. The bullet-time action was a killer, though.

I believe some of our other members have tried Adhoc already for games like Monster Hunter. The thing is though, we haven't exactly been playing a lot of the portable versions of the AC games, as we just can't stomach the controls.

EDIT: Oh wait, I see you saw that vid already. Anyway, there.

Now that you guys have mentioned it, I might try to set up my PS3 for Adhoc Party once LR Portable comes out. FO connection has to come out of the market here ASAP. Instead of our internet service providers upgrading and replacing their current technology, most likely they'd just add another super expensive promo though.

Not also sure if we won't still get a few hundred pings with our current connection with Adhoc Party. For all I know I don't lag whenever I fight someone on PSN.

If you're going to play AHP, try to make sure the PS3 is connected via LAN cable or has excellent wifi connection quality at the very least. It's not a problem with Kai since you can just sit beside the adapter

I'm willing to play with anyone once LR portable comes out in english

Alright, someone told me the same advice before when I wanted to play PSP2 via Adhoc Party. Not that I'm going for a wireless connection anytime soon anyway. Belkin has a load of pissed off users due to its compatibilitiy issues with the PS3 on wireless.

All further Adhoc Party talk should go into this thread instead.

Belkin sucks balls. I bought a wireless-N router from them and it cut my wired speed by more than half when I was using wifi. The ping was horrible, too. I couldn't even play on kai while I was sitting beside the router.

[zero_kanipan]

are there no other alternatives for D-Link router and wireless network users? i have a D-link router and its located too far from my room and PS2 to run a cat5 (which i dont have in the first place)

nvm. im not even sure if the PS2 i have has a network adapter. its the old fat one and a second-hand too

Well, I've done KAI before and am looking for people to play against. I'm in the US so there would probably be some bullet time, but I'm fine with that (would be interesting to watch the replays). Better than fighting AIs. I'll try and get KAI working again if anyone is interested in fighting.

I'll fiddle around with Kai and let's see what happens. Message you soon.

Works for me. I'll start messing with it tomorrow, hopefully it won't be too hard.
