Multiplayer PSP Hack Video - August 22, 2005
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 (link provided below) Recently, many have claimed that the procedure written is no longer applicable to firmware v1.52., and that players can no longer see eachother in the game.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.

How do u find out if theirs a psp near u
Won’t one psp freeze up
Tom says
doesn’t work for crash tag team racing, it just says ‘disc error please insert disc etc.’
Adam says
dosen’t work with grand theft auto liberty city stories, it says “disc read error, plese insert disc”
sahaskatta says
GTA loads audio tracks for background music constantly from the disc so thats why it will keep crashing. So one way to get past that is to switch all playing tracks to tracks stored on your PSP’s memory stick, then it should work! To do this download the Custom Track Loader here: http://tinyurl.com/dzopj just put some random CD in and copy a few songs and ask your PSP to play it!
jamie says
i have tried to load up gta with the custom tracks but i still get the error reading disc message. can u shed any light on the problem
Davon Lewis says

tyler says
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
sahas says
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.
diana says

kalpit says

Butta says

the AME says
How do you set time limit to unlimited?
sahas says
“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.
chris says

anonymus says
yeah I tried it with nba and it freezes up instantly and I tried it with a few other games same thing happens
Erick says
