In April 2005, I wrote the “PSP Multiplayer With One Game” article. It was an extreme hit, which drew over 30,000 views. The article simple explained the step-by-step procedure to play a multiplayer game on a PSP when only one copy of the game is available. (link provided below) Recently, many have claimed that the procedure written is no longer applicable to firmware v1.52., and that players can no longer see eachother in the game. This isn’t true it’s still possible and this video will demonstrate it. To make this easier for everyone I have created a 3-minute long video which goes through the process. The video demonstrates how to perform this “hack” with Twisted Metal. Please feel free to download this video and spread it as you would like. A summarized procedure is at the bottom of this post.

Step-By-Step Procedure: (Twisted Metal w/ 2 PSPs)
1) Startup both PSPs and place the game into PSP #1.
2) Start an Ad Hoc game, create a server, and choose your settings.
3) Set time limit to unlimited (recommended), only because it takes a while to load the game in to PSPs since we only have 1 copy of the game.
4) Choose your car, but don’t start the game.
5) Remove the UMD & say no to quitting game.
6) Start the game in PSP #2 and go to multiplayer.
7) Enter the Ad Hoc mode and enter the server created by PSP #1.
8) Choose your car, but don’t start the game.
9) Remove the UMD & say not 2 exit game.
10) Place it back into PSP #1 and enter game
11) Once loaded take it out & and say no 2 quitting.
12) Put it back into PSP #2 and enter the game.
13) You should now be able to play eachother.

can any one help how to play gta in multiplayer coz my my friend and i try to play it with seperate umd but we cant play bec. it didnt detect a server although i act as a server and nothing happened
well glenn your friend has to put it the grand theft auto were it says multiplayer. you put it in ad hoc mode in the psp and try to be close to each other so it well detect the person. oh! and you have to put it in wifi mode.
we try that but still doesn’t work…i dont know coz his unit was from japan and mine is from us…but we try to pass some pictures to check if our wlan are working and it works i dont know if that is the reason why we cant play multiplayer in gta…
Does this also work for co-op mode? (twisted metal that is)
thats why because his is from japan and yours is from the us.
there is a downgrade for firmware 2.6, i used it for mine. go to noobze.com for a downgrade
Can you downgrade without GTA ?
i have tried wid me mate but it dont load :(
does this method work for madden 06? and do u have list of that this would work for and is there another way to watch music videos on “MUSICJESUS.com” with my PSP and is there away for me and my homes to send text messages to each other while using our PSPs like nintendo DS and is there a program that i can download so i can watch Tv on my PSP-
i have more Questions but typing all of this with my PSP makes me tired
tyler,
if you are able to save the video then you should be able to convert it using http://www.pspvideo9.com or other programs. However the current browser won’t support doing so directly from the webpage. To chat between PSPs, which probably won’t be to efficent, you can use sites such as http://aimonpsp.com/ however you both will need to be connected to the internet. And the psp cant play tv just yet. sony may be releasing apsp tuner, but we dont know when.
i tried it with smackdown vs raw 2007 and it says that the other player disconnected and it kinda freezes what should i do

“the AME” & “Matt”,
It depends what game you are playing. It isn’t a PSP function, but rather varies from game to game. Twisted Metal, which we used, had that option under multilayer games. Other games might not have the same feature.
it doesnt work for need for speed carbon (own the city) why not?”
yeah I tried it with nba and it freezes up instantly and I tried it with a few other games same thing happens
