2. Ey Mike- just saw the movie bout the PSP and cellular connection. I have to say congrats! I might know why you couldn't enter the multi player game on Twisted metal though. If go on multi player, you will see 3 options of which are: Ad Hoc, Infrastructure, and Infrastructure *** ( im not sure what the last word is, but its the last option.) On the video, you clicked on the second option, simple infrastructure which was intended for use with a home router. For public access, hot spots, etc... you are to use the last option because of a more simpler setup able to use public access. Try that, it should work. Hope my advice helps!

3. James, after reading your comment, I went and tried it again. In fact, the middle setting was the right one to go out to the Internet. The settings are "Ad Hoc", "Infrastructure", and "Infrastructure LAN". I-LAN is for playing locally from an access point. That is, 6 people with PSPs connect to an access point, but don't play over the internet.

"Infrastructure" is used to go out on the Internet. You can see this in the video because I did log on and saw game rooms and stats. For some reason I couldn't connect to any games.

Here is something cool: I created my own game and OTHERS JOINED IN! We played Twisted Metal for about 20 minutes over Verizon National Access (100k/20k) and 15 minutes on Broadband Access (1M/100k approx) from two different locations here in Los Angeles. w00t!!

4. Could you possibly give us step by step instructions so others can do this? thank you

5. The steps are pretty basic. If you can get your PSP working over a Wi-Fi hotspot, then you can use the JunxionBox. In fact, the JBox is a hotspot with an SSID like any other access point. It just connects to the cellular network instead of a DSL line.

The JunxionBox needs to be configured to allow users to connect without any authentication. It should hand out IP addresses automatically (DHCP). And of course, it needs to work with your cellular card. (Talk to Junxion about these steps.)

To play internet games, create a connection on your PSP to use the JunxionBox SSID, with "Easy" address settings. The JBox will assign an IP address and give your game internet access.

To browse, however, you will need to apply the Wipeout Pure Browser hack. Set up a connection on the PSP to use the JBox with "custom" address configuration. There you can change the DNS setting to your preferred PSP Portal site. I used the one hosted by fugimax which is documented here:

The browser hack (trick, tweak, whatever) is well documented. Here is a description and links to mirrors of the original site:

6. do you think you would be able to do this with a laptop that has wifi and a cellular card and then bridge the connections

psp - laptop wifi - intenet via cellular card
im not able to do this yet as im only 16 years old and my computer knowledge is good but not this good. This may not be possible but im just asking (you cant get anywhere without asking)

7. Too bad the Junxion box is $600 and doesn't work with my CF2031..... :(

8. Darren, this can be done with a laptop. In fact, laptops sharing out wi-fi over cellular were probably the inspiration for the creation of the Junxion Box in the first place. Check out "Hack-a-Day" Jason's cool GPRS/Laptop hack here:

Bo, $600 sure is pricey for now - laptops cost that much. But this arguably uses less power than a $600 laptop, and I expect prices will drop as they reduce their hardware costs.

9. I have been trying like mad to make this work :-) I have the junxion box and two psp's.. I keep getting to the point where it says "logging in..." and it seems to get stuck. I was able to get into it once.. and actually see the lobby, but after that I was stuck as I couldn't join a game. I did (only once cuz now I can't log in).. was able to create a game, but I couldn't get the second guy to log in. Any idea why I now can't get the psp to log in to the web site? I downloaded and updated the junxion firmware to 1.1.1 and still no luck. Any suggestions would be so great. Missy

10. is there any other way of making the psp connect through a cellular signal without having to dish out 600 big ones??

11. I dont have my own psp yet so could you tell me what the 1st option is for, the ad-hoc?

Posted at 5:29AM on Dec 19th 2005 by TyRaEl

12. And another thing, in multiplayer, aside from two PSPs w/in 30 ft distance (LAN), are there any other things required? Please reply...

Posted at 5:29AM on Dec 19th 2005 by TyRaEl

13. wowed, the cheapest way would be to get data service on your cellphone and link that to a PC then share out the internet connection on the PC. There's several ways to do that, and it will depend on your PC and cellphone.

Tyrael, Adhoc is for 2 or more PSPs to connect to eachother using the builtin WiFi - they can only connect to eachother, not the internet. So you need to be standing near eachother. nothing else is needed - except the game needs to support multiplayer.

14. wait hold up... r u sayin that the psp has to be atleast 30 ft away from another one to be able to play multiplayer like the sh*ty DS? i don't have a psp yet but if it's the same load of bull crap as the DS i might reconsider. plz reply
