EmuNewz Network

first, hello all, ive been reading this forum for about a week testing jpcsp..
great work on the emu, its been forever since the psp released and finally you guys managed to emulate it, cheers to that!

so back to topic, i couldnt believe what i just saw, so i had to create account here and report!

so ive been testing several titels, today i tried FF Type-0 again since it has very good speed for me, way better than duodesim.. im not very familar with the game (all japanese) so im not really sure what happend...

first i tried to enter multiplayer modus, as expected it didnt work, complaining about psp1000 (you can only play this title in multiplayer with psp2000 and up)

so i enter mission modus and load a lvl 99 complete savegame just to mess around with some of the skills, items and spells... but befor i could enter the mission the menu asked for some stuff, i dont know what since the translation spredsheet doesnt have these menus covered.

but what i know, it once again gave the error message about psp1000

so it finally loaded the mission, unfortunatly, mission one (lol ive played this like 3 times already untill i figured the main menu to save xD )

but you will never believe what happened next...

one of my chars changed to a black shadow and his name stating: GUEST 1

he was running towards me and i was like wooooaaaaahhhhhtt!

then i tried running around him try to interact with him, but he disconnected. shortly another two joined the game while i was trying to grab a nice screen shot.

this people even got SPP for beeing in my game...

also this bring alot of questions:

how could they connect with my game, no firewall alert, no open ports, my router should block everything..

i try to recreate the event and look at my tcp connections to see whats going on...

could ff type-0 not use ad hoc to connect ?

also not sure what caused the grafic glitches, maybe the multiplayer..
it got worse when someone connected.. never had them befor.

oh and f5 for screenshot seems a little out of place

interesting, i'll take a look when I get some free time.
you had to use a save game to enter multiplayer?

well yes i coulnt enter multiplayer.

it sais that the game can only be played in multiplayer with psp 2000 and up and that im using a psp 1000 (i guess)

so i enter mission modus, and yes you have to load a savegame.
ive tried my "playtrou" savegame but i didnt reach disk2 yet so it didnt work.

with the complete savegame i can choose whatever mission, i tried another mission and again someone connected

also i checked my firewall, it sais no connections
dont know how much i can trust that comodo monitor to find all connections..

perhaps they are just bots then

i have thought about that
searched if the game has bots but found nothing..

but why would they switch my 3 lvl 99 chars for lvl 20 bots and giving spp (multiplayer currency) to them
maybe to give a online feeling in offline modus?
at one point i had 2 guests at the same time and coulnt switch chars anymore...

so it doesnt really feels like bots... but still may be possible...
