If you got the english PSP demo, and have a PS3, download the Ad-Hoc Party off of the japanese playstation store, and meet up with us. Please use this thread to organize where and when to meet.

Oh, and if you want to add me to your friends list, my PSN is FunkyChunkyDude.
Our offical server is World C, Lobby 20. If you can't find anyone there, try J-50. That's the general English speaking server for all games.

FAQ-----------v

Spoiler!

Where can I get Ad-Hoc Party?
You need to have a Playstation 3, and a PSP. As far as I know, any generation PSP will do. (I personally use a first generation)
You need to make a japanese playstation network account to download it. Once you're done, go to the playstation store, and pick the option with stars around the lettering. You should have two options. One is the Ad-Hoc, and one is a trailer or something I think. Also, you will need to create a connection between your PSP and PS3. Refer to this guy on that.
http://connect-psp-to-ps3.blogspot.com/

I load up Ad-Hoc, but nothing happens when I hit any of the options!
Keep in mind, this is a japanese program. In Japan, they use Circle to select options, and X to cancel.

OMGWTF WUT DO I DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO??//?/?.<./?:LL!1!2;!!!!!
1: Pick up a gun.
2: Aim at your head.
3: Pull trigger.

What do I do from here?
From the main menu, turn your PSP on, go into the PSP demo, and go to the point where you can pick to either make a new party, or join one. The differences are pretty self explanatory. We'll go with joinning a game. (I'll explain how to host later down) and select the 3rd option down on Ad-Hoc Party.
Give your PS3 a minute to connect with your PSP first.
After, chose the option on the left. You can then chose a world to join. If there's anyone in that world playing the PSP demo, you will automaticly join that lobby when you select it. You'll be in a green area with you, and probably some other people. The houses represent a party. To join one, move your cursor over the house and select the 2nd option. If you're not playing the same game as the host is, you won't be able to join. (Error message 5007)
The host can't be in a mission for you to join, so wait untill they go to the point where you can join them. You can use the Ad-Hoc to communicate with them either by plugging a USB keyboard into your PS3, or using a mic.

How to host a game
In PSP, chose to create a new party. Wait at that screen for people to join. You'll need to select the first option on Ad-Hoc Party. You then pick a world. Use L1 and R1 to select the world, and move your left joystick to the lobby you want to go to. Hold the joystick there, and hit Circle to enter that lobby. To make a room, move your curser anywhere on the map that doesn't have a house or person on it, hit circle, and chose the 2nd option. You can then pick various options for your party. I'm not entirely sure on all of them, but the first option is the name of the room, and the last is to make the party. Now just wait for people to join, and and have fun!

I get an error (2005) and the only english words in it is Playstation 3 and LAN?
If you get this, there's a simple solution, connect your PS3 via Ethernet. So directly to a modem or router. (My PS3 was in the living room, so I had to move it into my bedroom. It's better because I feel more comfortable hunting in my room, but if i want to play my PS3 games, I have to go back to my living room since thats where the HD-TV is.)

(Special thanks to Kimsey for this one.)

Can I use this without a PS3?
No.

Can you-
No.

But-
No.

That's the guide for making a Japanese PSN account.
The 2nd to last option on the list is the Ad-Hoc option. Has Stars around the text.

Here is a guide for setting up Ad-Hoc.

hmm, don't you better wait the real version? demo only has 3 missions, it gonna get bored fast.

Although my comment to PSP demo is that :

1. It seem to give me more fun than the main game honestly... (duno why?, because of rebalanced? or because of monster has higher level than us who capped at lv 20? ...or because it has the same feeling as the time when PSU just launch and we all turn into beginer again?)

2. The diga with knock away effect is <3, but the technora B rank Shadog is crazy, it need to get nerfed badly lol. ( lv 20 newman female with 47% ice grinded 10 of that = auto shotgun 4 ice bullet with very fast shooting rate and damage for 200x4.... =,=
that is better damage than what my Cast ranger lv 20 in JP demo can do with his ice shotgun...
oh... and my Diga with B rank GRM wand only do 200x1...)

Wait til you get A rank Tenora Shadogs! They're even better, I use them all the time. Also Diga knockback works for enemies also... it can make fighting multiple 'Special Ops (Vobis)' or the Vanda family (anything that casts Diga really) very annoying.

Well my ID is Rubyelt if im online just give me a message I want to play this demo badly.

Doesn't that totally contradict your first statement? I'll change the title when the full version comes out. In the meantime, this is for those who want to play PSP with other people in english.

i have a pc connected to internet via wireless usb adapter, and then i used internet share to PS3. it connected and worked for like 20 minutes, and then it stopped. i tried to set it up again on my pc, but it then said it cannot do the internet share due to same IP something blah blah.

so is it technically possible to set adhoc part by doing what i did, or is it necessary to connect PS3 directly to router by wire?

also i said it worked for 20 minutes. it did, and i was browsing those lobbies and got confused how to create or join parties. any guide on how to go through those?

You're using your PC's internet to get your PS3 online? I didn't say you couldn't do that. I just said you can't go online with out a PS3. As for the second question, well, I did make a guide on what you do. It's under the What do I do next? part.

[Arika]

Yeah, I know it was contradiction, that is why I said "but" before it.

although my first statement still not sure whether it has real better rebalanced or not.
According to what I have seen, I know that Tenora shadog is so broken!.

that automatic shoot item can do better DPS than a cast with shotgun at the same demo. (and it does 4x damage compare to my diga each shot)

[Chuck_Norris]

I'm playing right now if anyone wants to join me. I'll be in World A, lobby 15. Party name is "English PSP Demo"

yeah i didnt know the faq was hidden under spoiler. i did other stuff following different guide.

as for my connection, it was like this
pc connected to my wireless router via wifi-usb adapter
pc then connected to PS3 by wire, using window internet sharing
and it stopped working after 20 mins and cant reconnect

edit-nm. i found out that it can't be done like this. it worked for a while so i thought something went wrong.

anyhoo i think i got how it works, but still need to test it out with people so add me my name is XenoNinjaX

btw after i downloaded adhocparty using the jpn account, can i switch back to my US account afterward to play?
