Perfected Guide for GT4 Online!

Posted: Wed Feb 23, 2005 7:27 am

Ok I have perfected this with both 2 players and 3 so i am assuming it will work with 4,5,6.

Edit OPTIONAL: Sometimes you need to restart both Kai and Your PS2

1) Load Kai !!!BUT NOT GT4 CONNECTION SCREEN!!!! (This is important)

2) Create a private room with a pass and give that pass out to as many people you want up to 6 people. (since 6 is the most GT4 will take) Everyone should be listed as 0 Sony - 1 Players (or as many players as they have on their system)

3) When everyone is in the private arena and no one is in the Waiting for Connection.. area in GT4, have each person enter the waiting for connection area in GT4 one by one. Mkae sure the Host enters last.

4) After the host enters it usually takes up to 1 minute for it to fully connect. After that enjoy playing GT4 online with Kai.

I'll be a witness, this does infact work. However 3 player was much laggier than 2 player. So as common sense would tell you... Make sure everyone has a nice ping and host has fast upstream. Laughing

Fun times...

I don't know exactly what it means but i think it means that you detect that persons PS2 thus meaning that you could connect to them. So if you don't see the 1 - Sony part then you won't be able to connect to them.

Acid, another guy and myself just raced together twice using this so I can confirm it is successful. Kind of slow though with the frame rate but it seems even 2 player races are like that.

it was most likely slow because i have a slow upstream.

They got this to work earlier. It does indeed work.

Kind of weird if you ask me.. but works.

Yea I guess because me and the guy just raced 2 player and it was flawless, just like offline. Then my power went out Sad

I hope there is some way to get garage cars online because otherwise this could get real old real fast.

So lets go over what has to be done one more time
In Xlink config I hear you have to enter the public port number into the Kai port under the configuration tool.
I also hear you have to set the profile to normal kai use and enter your xtag name and password.

Once this is done, log into an arena, without connecting to GT4 on your PS2

Then in your PS2 set in options>lan setting your xtag name under console name, change host to yes so you can change bandwidth to light, monitor to 1, and players 1. Then set Host back to no, unless you are actually going to host.
After in coure registration select every course.
Once this is done, go to arcade mode, Lan race, and once everyone is into the room press connect, making sure DHCP was yes in your settings.

If any part of this is incorrect please correct me... Please

"players 1"

I think is wrong. That is the number of people you are allowing to play if you host. So it should be 2 or more.

no.. I was right. If you select you are not hosting, it won't allow you to change that number.

That is the number of players in the network.. only the host decides that.

what is this DHCP setting you speak of?

Posted: Wed Feb 23, 2005 8:54 am

Look in options when you setup your connection.

Posted: Wed Feb 23, 2005 8:54 am

Under "Network" should the Auto Connection be set to "YES" or "NO"??

Posted: Wed Feb 23, 2005 9:00 am

No.

Wrong place to look.

Set that to no.. that way when you go to LAN game it has another "Connect" button.. so you can put your game on that screen until the host is ready.

ya good job acid

I managed to play 6 races last night with 2 people. It looks like I connected using the method Acid mentioned, but when I launched first as the host then it wouldn't connect to anyone.

2Fast, thanks for the setup tip last night, but I was confused on what you were saying that everyone in the room should be host with number of players set to 1. If you do that, you connect to yourself. Which I did several times, it was a good test to see if the lan worked though.

Anyway last night was a good intro, the online portion has potential if you can get a smoothe game instead of the choppiness that occured even with just two people. I'll give it another try tonight.

Ok I just woke up and read the posts so far I haven't seen any complaints. Is it still working good and everything? Also if your the host you have the hardest time because you will most likely always have to restart your ps2.
