A simple guide to help you party in the Ad-Hoc Party
If you’ve been scratching your head and finding yourself at a loss figuring out how the hell you’re gonna get in on some Ad-Hoc Party, then this one is for you. Now you won’t have to worry so much about all that Japanese that you can’t read! Read the guide in the full article.
Want to get in on the Party but can’t read Japanese? Here’s a useful guide from PSP Hyper. It has all you’ll need to get some Ad-Hoc partying into your PSP. Now you can play Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G without staring blankly into your screen.
You will need (that’s quite a list, though):
- PS3 and PSP on their latest firmware
- PS3 is Wi-Fi ready (20GB owners won’t get a piece of the action)
- PS3 is connected to the internet
- A Japanese PSN account
Here’s what to do:
- Download the application from the Japanese PSN (5MB)
- Install and launch it from the Game menu
- Click on the adhoc button (it’s the third button), and it’ll start checking for a PSP
- Launch Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G and enter the Online Guild Hall (or the ad-hoc lobby of other games that might support the feature)
- Your PSP system name should be on your PS3 screen in a bit
- Exit adhoc (with the X button), click on “Start” (the first button) and you’ll see different Worlds and lobbies. L1/R1 picks to pick a World, and the left stick to pick a lobby.
- Note that red tabs mean they’re full, blue ones are empty
- Enter a lobby with the O button, you can view the next lobby with the directional buttons
- In the lobby move, more your cursor to a room (house icon) or player and click with the O button to view their details
- To enter a room, click on “Enter” (the second button on the pop-up), and you should be able to see other players in the room. A few seconds later, they’ll be in the lobby of the game.
- You may wait until four players have joined the room or you can start a quest with the available players
- If you are having trouble finding rooms, simply create one by pointing the cursor to your name – a pop-up appears, giving you the option to either change your username or create a room. Make one then wait for people to join.
Now that that’s been taken care of, time to play. See you at the Party.
