[Tutorial]Playing against friends with one UMD!

[michaelp]

A tutorial on playing against your friends with only one copy of a UMD game:
Ever wanted to play multiplayer games with your friends, but you couldn't because you only had 1 UMD? Well, now you can with this little hack!




1.Start up an ad hoc multiplayer game and set the time for unlimited on the first PSP.
2.Eject the UMD disc and choose NO when it asks if you would like to quit on the first PSP.
3.Put the UMD in another PSP and start multiplayer gaming with your friends!
4.Repeat the previous 2 steps for as many players as you want in the game.


This is from PSP-Hacks. Revised a little because of errors and words.

one way that you try is start to play a UMD game not iso
take the UMD out and try to continue playing it

It just doesn't work. I tried it with Everybody's Golf ages ago, and one PSP will load, the other one will say it's still loading, then the first one will say it's waiting for the second player but as it can't load and synchonize with the other in time both will disconnect from ad-hoc and go back to the menu screen.

With a game like that that's constantly loading during gameplay, it won't work at all. It'll always end up throwing you back onto the main menu because it can't load anything without the disc. It'll work with games like Bleach though: it'll load all the information before the gameplay starts, then you can keep replaying the same match over and over until you want to change characters. Then you'll have to do the whole UMD swapping all over again.
