who has their PS2 online?

hey all it looks like GT4 will be able to race 6 at a time which is cool via some software called xlink Kai which youll need to install on your computer.

Heres a checklist of what youll need

1. a slimline PS2 OR an origional PS2 with a PS2 ethernet adapter (roughly $60)

2. a PC

3. highspeed internet prefrebly at 512/128 or higher.

4. xlink kai software. downloadable from their website. www.teamxlink.co.uk

5. your PC and PS2 networked

a setup guide on how to get this working can be found here

http://s7.invisionfree.com/Team_Drif...?showtopic=315

any dramas please let me know as im sure i can help you recify them!

PS anyone with a 512 upload speed WE NEED YOU this person will be ideal to host games with upto 6 astinaGT cars

cheers mike

if you dont have a new slim sony PS2 youll need an ethernet adapter which comes with another online play game which is really cool. i got my adapter when i bought syphon filter however i think they sell for around the $60 mark. you may even be able to source one secondhand. make sure it comes with the sony central startup disc though! youll need it

I don't know what to think Re: Online play.

http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=e...G=Search&meta=
The above search seems to indicate that it won't support online play (and most of what I've read elsewhere indicate it won't). EBgames.com, however, list and "online adaptor" required for online play etc. etc.

It has LAN support and as such I guess it could be hooked up to a home LAN/ADSL network and routed externally to the internet, but I'm not sure how you'll go about finding opponents.

Either way, I'll pick up my (pre-ordered) copy first thing on Thursday the 10th, so I guess we'll find out for sure then...

Hey mate i've got a spare ethernet card for the PS2, got it from the trials that they held for the network, i don't need mine anymore seeing as i just recently bought a slimline PS2 which has a built in ethernet port, so on the next meet i'll bring the ethernet card, network wire, and CD, if you like, $25 for the lot.

ok dudes. we can play online via xlink kai. this is free. the only catch is that you need to have your PS2 and PC networked for this to work. if annnyone has a 512k upload please let me know as you will be an ideal host for any games with multiple cars in attendance! if anyone wants to play me 1 on 1 for now just get me on your MSN

osprey looks like he has things fairly worked out so far. how bout everyone else??

james,
take a look at some of the guides in the first post. this should help you a little basicly xlink 'tricks' your PS2 into thinking its playing in LAN mode when infact your playing someone over the internet!

hehehe, yeah I know. I've actually been thinking of getting one cause there's a few cool games I want to play...
And if we can do this over the net, then woooooo! Only problem is I've still only got 64k upload speed, albeit unlimited!
