XLink Kai Guide

XLink Kai is a method to play PSP adhoc games online without going through Adhoc Party. The base requirement is having a PC.

''See also the PRO Online Guide, another method which aims to enable online multiplayer as well, but foregoing third party applications (i.e PSP connects to the internet multiplayer directly).''

Note: PRO Online is not an option for 1000 (phat users) due to low RAM.

Planex Adapter Notes

 * It is possible to connect to AdhoctoUSB "hosting" players provided they give their PSP SSID's. But AdhoctoUSB players cannot connect to hosting players using SSID.
 * A JP player using the SSID method couldn't connect to a AdhoctoUSB US host (me) until a JP version of my SSID was used. Or something. -Mornsta

AdhoctoUSB Notes
it's been known to cause the US version players to crash.''' Apparently you cannot have caps, the 8 digits must be in small caps. Give the Japanese SSID for Japanese players, and the US SSID for English players. and disabling the two options below them. Winpcap is recommended, some players could not connect to me until I switched to Winpcap. The ones that connected through my PSSDK connected through Winpcap fine; it seems Winpcap is all encompassing. You can access the page by going to the address http://192.168.1.254/ or home or home/mdc. This may differ with your network. Go to firewall settings, and select your network (you can tell by Start/Run/cmd/ipconfig) and portforward TCP/UDP 30000. it means that the adhoc is having trouble receiving data swiftly (e.g High Ping). Don't worry about it. I can host 3 player parties, never got to try 4. There was a member that had high ping with me but could still connect to the lobby; bringing NPC comrades was not an option as it would cause a DC during mission loading. The people at the Gods Eater Burst arena are free to help too. (it's where you go to create rooms after running the XLink Kai client)
 * '''Do not use JP DLC costumes while in the presence of US version players;
 * If there's both a Planex Adapter and AdhoctoUSB users in the room, the AdhoctoUSB must host, and give the SSIDs to the Planex Adapter users. Planex Adapter users cannot host AdhoctoUSB users.
 * For the SSID, add your own last 8 digits of the MAC address.
 * Bridge v2 works for me while Bridge v1 doesn't.
 * You do not have to set a static address for Microsoft Loopback Adapter.
 * For XLink Kai settings, I got it working by disabling PSSDK enabling Winpcap
 * You must portforward TCP/UDP 30000 in your network's Firewall settings.
 * It's fine not to see anything in Metrics, I didn't see anything yet my XLink Kai works fine.
 * If Bridge gives you errors like 0 FFFFFFFF, close and open it again. Timeout errors are fine though,
 * You must enable the plugins or else XLink Kai won't work.
 * You cannot play with people using different regions of Gods Eater Burst. Disproven.
 * I have only managed 2 player parties, though it's likely due to me living far away from everyone else...
 * Any questions? Ask on the XLink Kai forums. Or feel free to ask here.
 * Have fun! -Mornsta 18:12, February 2, 2012 (UTC)
