Read PSP setupHow the two betas differ
| Nintendo DS | Uses a Nintendo WFC-compatible melonDS route. You opt in from the NDS console page and configure melonAP with automatic network settings inside the game. |
|---|---|
| PSP | Uses a PPSSPP-based Ad Hoc relay. Open the same compatible title and region as the other player, then use the game's local or Ad Hoc multiplayer menu. |
| Availability | Both are experimental. The service can be ready while a specific game, region or lobby still cannot connect. |
| Affiliation | OldGames is independent and is not affiliated with Nintendo, Sony or the original network operators. |
Online play FAQ
Which systems currently have an online beta?
Nintendo DS games with compatible Nintendo WFC modes and PSP games with compatible Ad Hoc modes. Regular single-player games remain available even when the relay is offline.
Why can I search without finding anyone?
An opponent must be online with a compatible copy of the same game. PSP players should use the same region; Nintendo DS compatibility can vary by title and by the state of community replacement services.
Are these the original official networks?
No. They are independent experimental browser relays, not Nintendo WFC, PlayStation Network or an official Nintendo/Sony service.
