ridge racer jap+us connection

**penners** · March 30th, 2005, 23:13

We have two jap psps, one with us ridge racer and one with jap ridge racer. I can not get them to see each other in wireless mode (set as Ad Hoc). Has any one else got around this problem or do both ridge racers have to be the same ie jap or us.
many thanks

so i won't be able to Challenge fellow UK gamers with my US games when the PSP comes out this year?

i have tried two copies of US ridge racer in two JAP psps and the game connects fine. I wonder how many games when useing one US and one JAP will not connect, I'am sure some will have to work.
Also my daughters got a nintendo DS and ridge racer connects to six machines useing six different cars useing only one copy of the game, lets hope the psp follows this idea soon.

yea thats works m8, but if u have a US version of RR in one PSP and a Jap version of RR in abother PSP it wont work

So when the psp finally hit europe will i be able to play against psp users with my japanese PSP? To me this sounds ridiculous. Why did Sony make the PSPs not region locked for games but Jap users cannot play againt US users.

What about Jap PSP and Ridge Racer and a English PSP and RR when it ever comes out.

Another reason although it may not be correct is the fact that each version differs, the US version has a new max tour mode.. and the english version may end up having more cars or somethin, also the language/region has somethin to do with it too.

Both versions of the games have to be from the same region in order for them to 'see' each other. Although the game is the same because of the language differences the coding is completely different and that's what knackers it up.
