How to Use Your PSP for Multi-Player Gaming With Someone Else With a PSP

Multi-player PSP games allow you to connect with another PSP owner who is playing the same game. In many games, you can either compete or work together. This adds a whole lot of fun to the gaming experience, since competing with another person is usually less predictable than competing with an AI (artificial intelligence).

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Tips & Warnings

• Depending on the game you’re playing, you may be able to play with or against your friend.
• You can play anywhere, since you don’t need an internet connection to play this way. However, you and your friends will need to be within fairly close range to allow your PSPs to communicate.
• The game you’re playing must support PSP Game Sharing to play with someone else.
