has anyone had problems with ad-hoc multiplayer on PSP?

We've had major problems connecting with Ridge Racers. We are in an office with lots of wifi hotspots - is it possible that PSP is being overwhelmed? eg in infrastructure setup I can see 10 listed immediately.

Also, we couldn't connect when there was someone else in the area with old firmware (we are using 1.5). But that might just be the other wifi points.

Wipeout doesn't seem to have any problems.

I've played numerous AdHoc games of Wipeout and Lumines in the office that has maybe 5 WiFi hotspots. No problems whatsover. Haven't tried RR though.

Hi, I'm stupid. What does AdHoc mean?

 

[mrklaw]

adhoc's for connecting peer to peer. Unlike infrastructure where you connect to a central wireless access point.

I haven't had any trouble but we were all in the same room together playing. Didn't really test what the range was. We were also using a mixture of US and Japanese systems so the version shouldn't matter.

we were all withing 6 feet of each other, all japanese RR, all japanese units.

The only thing I can think of is that our office is heavily wified. If you go to network settings in PSP and scan, it comes up with 10 access points instantly.

Just a thought, but try turning off WLAN Power Save. I know it helps web browsing a ton.
