How to Compete Live via PSP 3000's Ad Hoc Mode

Have you just been challenged to a game of Madden via your PSP 3000? If you wish to prove your title as the champion, and not just against the computer behind the screen, PSP 3000 makes this possible through its Ad Hoc gaming capabilities which gives users the ability to challenge their real-life opponents for the ultimate showdown.

Now you can stop bragging about beating the computer and really put your money where your mouth is!

Ad Hoc is a feature of PSP 3000 that will allow you to communicate with other PSP 3000 owners, given the fact that they are within a convenient range -- for instance, in the same room. The great feature about PSP 3000 is that you don't need to have Wi-Fi capabilities in order to setup a challenge. As long as your competitors are operating the game universal media disc (UMD), your intense competition can commence!

In addition to just wireless competition, Ad Hoc also allows PSP 3000 users to:

* Challenge up to 16 people using Ad Hoc mode

* Send and receive images

* Connect to other PSPs without the need for wireless internet

For the sake of your Madden competition, you can setup Ad Hoc mode by following these simple steps:

1. Locate your Settings icon > From there, locate the Network settings icon > and press the X button to continue.

2. Inside your Network setting, select the "Ad Hoc Mode" by pressing the X button again.

3. Choose a channel to communicate with other PSP systems (Remember: All competitors must operate on the same channel in order for this function to work properly) If these settings are set automatically for you, you'll have to manually select a channel that everyone will compete on. Channels 1, 6, or 11 work best for a successful connection.

4. Once you've selected the appropriate channel, press the X button to save the changes and let the competition begin!

It's important to remember that when playing any game through Ad Hoc mode, ensure that the software is indeed compatible with Ad Hoc Mode. You can typically find this information on the instructions that came with the software.

Also, equally important is the fact that while in Ad Hoc mode, you will not be able to access the Internet.

Now that you've got these basic steps down, it's time to finally declare once and for all who is the Madden champion --- PSP 3000's Ad Hoc mode makes it possible!
