please help

i read somewhere that i can play ad hoc with 1 disc but could someone please tell me how to do it with midnight club??

thanks!

[lightt]

there's an option called game sharing, though i don know if midnight club supports that

[odhranus]

not sure if it will work with midnight club as its a racing game, but the way to do it is by switching the UMD between two PSP's while setting up the game, I got it to work on tony hawks, basically:

Start one machine and load up multiplayer as host
take umd out and load up second machine in multi as a client (join game)
then you need to take the umd out and put back into first machine (until it loads)
then put the umd back in the 2nd psp

again, I dont think it will work with Midnight Club as both machines need to load up at the same time but try the technique above and try experimenting with it till it works

with which games can i do that? i mean game sharing, i want to play with on disk on 2 psps

Burnout Legends, Breath of Fire 3 there the only games I have that support game sharing. I know Tekken will have game sharing, can't wait!!

IMO all games should support game sharing, but hey Sony just wanna make more money.

A pinball game also supports game sharing.

I think its up to the game developers to implement game sharing, nothing to do with sony. Sony can push for it to be used but at the end of the day if the game developers don't want to put it in place theres not much Sony can do.

I also think it is a feature that is well under-used.

true, im really annoyed that when i was reading about colin mcrae 2005 on t'internet it said on most sites that you could send a demo of the game to other psp's, i get the game and its complete bo****s, all you can do is send a replay over, and who the fudge wants to send a replay over??!?!!

I reckon things like that are developers somewhat testing the water for future games. Sort of like getting used to how to use the game-sharing feature and its strengths and weaknesses. That or else its just lazy programming to get away with adding stupid features to there games so they can say their game uses Game Sharing.

I would expect the first is more accurate and that it will become more prominent it future games

i really hope they do, on ps2 you only need one copy of the game to play multiplayer (i probably play more on multiplayer than on my own - gaming is very much a social thing), my mate has a psp but do you think he's gonna be buying exactly the same game as me to play multiplayer? unless it was a must own title, NO, he's just gonna borrow it off me when im done. Game sharing should be a standard for every game.
