So who would be willing to use Ad Hoc party or XLink Kai to play?

[Makoeyes987]

Dissidia is around the corner, and a lot of fans are talking about using ad hoc party to play each other. In fact, a lot of fans already have.

For those of you who have no clue what it is, this is ad hoc party.

With it, you'll be able to actually play Dissidia online with other people. The only problem is, is that a US version of Dissidia won't be able to play a Japanese version. So if any of you get the US copy and want to actually play it with someone online, you gotta be sure you find someone on ad hoc party that has a US version too

Hence, the purpose of this thread.

Here are tutorials to set it up.

It's pretty simple. And with that, you're able to actually play people online vs. just via ad hoc.

If enough people show interest, we could hold a Dissidia release tournament between forum members as well. That'd be fun, no? So yeah, discuss and this can also serve as a way of coordinating people to get online and play.

EDIT: Fuck, I forgot to mention this because I just remembered not everyone has a PS3.

There is also another alternative called Xlink Kai. It's another awesome program that can allow PSP's to go online and play other people by tricking the PSP into believing that the other PSP's its hooking up to over the internets are part of a LAN. It's another way Dissidia can be played with other people.

If not enough people are capable of using Ad Hoc party, Xlink Kai can serve as an alternative.

I'll certainly be doing this. When I get Dissidia I want to do all I can with it, including playing others and uploading fights to YouTube. Thanks for showing us how to do the former Mako!

 

[Makoeyes987]

No problem. I definitely would like to actually be able to play some people here and get a good play group going here, instead of just playing the CPU.

 

[Ryushikaze]

I'll be up for this, certainly.

 

[Tifaeria]

Whoa, if I can get this to work on my PSP (which knowing my idiot history with add on's, not vary ), I will most definitely be up for this!

 

[Makoeyes987]

If nothing else, XLink Kai is probably the easiest since they also give you a walkthrough on how to do it on their wiki.

 

[krystabegnalie]

im using xlink-kai for playing some adhoc games for psp, and yeah xlink kai is more simplier to setup, you only have to buy a wifi router or wifi usb adaptor for your pc then register to their site and your good to go, just follow instructions over their wiki site

and yeah there will be more adhoc fightings when dissidia is released.

Hey I'm totally lost when it comes to Ad Hoc. I need some help...Ok, first question.

When I start playing Dissidia, I go to Online Lobby and choose from 1-8 (so I can use my customized character), but after I get into the lobby, no one is in there. Do I have to register or get into a party that's already made?

Can I make a party for people to join in the lobby?

And for the tournament that was supposedly being held here through the forums, how do I get into that?

Thanks.

 

[ForceStealer]

I'm certainly game.

The Online Lobby is only for Ad-Hoc. There must be actual PSPs near you for them to appear. It's not really online, as in..the internet. You have to use Ad Hoc Party from the Japanese PSP store, or use XLink Kai. See the videos in my post.

And no tournament has been organized or announced yet.

I'm gonna try to see if I can get XLink Kai to work on my internet, Forcestealer. I hope so.

 

[Tennyo]

Attempting Xlink Kai. Wish me luck.

Do I have everyone's MSN?

EDIT: Do I have to buy one of those USB adapter things to make it work?

 

[kelvin22]

I would love to play on ad hoc party being that i dont have custom firmware on my router and i do have a ps3 which i love!! so ad hoc party al the way

 

[kelvin22]

and if xlink kai is actually uable on any other type of router can someone message me and tell me accordingly i would love any way i could be able to play with people

@Tennyo

I think you do, unless you have your own wireless network card and a wired connection to the internet. It's tricky, it seems.

Has anyone gotten XLink Kai to work yet? I'm running into trouble myself, sadly.

 

[Super Mario]

We need a PS3 to do this??? is it possible to do it on the CPU? cba to get a PS3 yet.

 

[Makoeyes987]

That's what X-Link Kai is for. Go see my original post on getting it set up and stuff. X-Link Kai's site has the specifics and stuff on how to get it going.

Has *anyone* gotten it working yet here? I too am running into trouble with it myself. Someone's gotta have done it by now.

Well I had been hearing that people with Macs could use Airport to the same effect, but also that it doesn't work well on Intel Based Macs, which is what I have. I tried using Airport but no go. Looks like I need to get an adapter. :/
