Datel's WiFi Max now works with Xlink Kai! |
Ó
Xlink Kai is "tunneling software" that allows you to connect with other console users around the world, and play online games for free. This means that you can play Ad-Hoc games over the internet with others! How does it work? Xlink tricks your console into thinking that the other users it is connecting to over the Internet, are actually part of a Local Area Network (Ad-Hoc), and therefore allowing you to connect with and play against people from all over the world.
Xlink Kai has been around for a while now, so why am I writing about this? Well, up until now this could only be done with a few select wireless router models with custom firmware. The drivers used in the Datel's WiFi Max accessory previously weren't compatible with Xlink Kail; but a driver update has changed this. The latest 4.13 drivers from ZyDAS, the maker of the chipset used in the WiFi Max, has a special "PSP Xlink Mode" built in, and you've guessed it, WiFi Max users can now use Xlink Kai.
This not only means that the WiFi Max router is compatible with Xlink Kai, but other routers which use ZyDAS are also compatible with Kai. If you have a router with drivers made by ZyDAS (ZD1211), download the latest drivers now! You can read about how to configure the new drivers here, and how to set up Xlink Kai here.
Thanks for the tip Haaru!

great job, and kudos for making drivers available for all systems at the same time
DUDE THIS MEANS THAT WE HAVE GTA WITH INFRATRUCTURE MODE!
Ok, I think I am going to get one of these just for this
Isn't that the piece of ***** that only 1/3rd of the people who purchased it could get it to work?
Guess what, WiFi Max is exactly what I got (holding it right now, like a little black dildo) Hey guys, time to die ;)
wifimax is just a cheapass wifi router get a REAL wifi router oh, and you dont need a router to play with xlink kai, the only thing you need is a PC/Laptop with bultin wifi or a wifi dongle. the psp connects directly to your pc, and then your pc is on the internet (in my case, my laptop wifi connects to the psp and my home broadband cable lan is on the internet) PSPUPDATES PEOPLE, LETS PLAY MORE ON XLINK KAI! if anyone plays at xlink kai, add my xtag: GogetaSSJ4BR I can play pretty much any game u'd like :P try to play it, its very fun contact me to play anything (or if you need help with xlink kai) msn messenger: roberto.cr@gmail.com
You are so immature "Drevil". This wifi-max could open the doors to future hacks for PSP! The 1/3 people that could not get it working must not know much wifi knowledge, because this is very easy as I do have this working. Im working on hacks for the PSP, which id rather not mention because last time I did, pspupdates deleted my post here. But just know everyone here at pspupdates, that my hacks for the PSP will be superb and the greatest things for you all to witness! Thanks, Chris Michaels
Yeah, the Wifi Max, now with the right drivers, can let you play on Kai. But unfortunately we, Team XLink, have come to the conclusion that GTA is unplayable on Kai unless you have a friend around your area, not across the world. Remember, this is only for GTA because it's very ping sensitive. Long story short, any ping level higher than 20 ms is unplayable (for GTA). This is strictly based on the game, not the Kai software. Sorry to be a killjoy, but it's the truth. On the other hand, there're a lot of other games that only have ad-hoc which can be utilized with Kai, such as WipEout Pure and Monster Hunter Portable (both widely known Kai favorites). Check out the forums for more info if you wish... http://www.teamxlink.co.uk/forum Happy gaming guys
Could I use wifi max and play daxter, gta, and any other ad hoc game out there online?
lol ya, QJ loves that delete button. Unless it's illegal I don't think anything should be deleted (except repeated posts of course). Maybe their should be a button like "jump it up" where users can vote to have a post flushed down the drain of censorship. Just a suggestion.
That's nice and all, but really, if you're gonna have wi-fi in your house, you might as well get a better router than Datel's. :P Anyways, XLink Kai is a nice idea, but there's not enough people playing on it to make it worthwhile.
#10 - I don't know what you're going on about. When we delete comments, the number disappears completely. Since all numbers 1 through 10 are present, nothing has been deleted. ;) I think our readers love the "accuse button" a bit too much. (Also known as "Submit Comment")
WHAT GAM IZ DIS MANG http://pspupdates.qj.net/uploads/articles_module/34226_pspcap32-snap6.jpg
wifi max? im about to return mine for a refund. It might okay but its screwing up my computer more than it is helping me...I plug it in and it restarts my computer nonstop. ive tried so many different ways to get it working. Alas! Whoever buys this, beware, what lays beyond thy view is inconceivable I had no idea what was going on with it. Socom was fun while it lasted (Batosai531) but ill just get a real router in stead, like this one for the same price as the wifi max : http://www.officedepot.com/ddSKU.do?level=SK&id=713130&x=0&Ntt=wifi&y=0&uniqueSearchFlag=true&An=text
HEY "Jake D. (QJ. NET Staff)".. YOU ARE INCORRECT! 1 OF MY VERY HELPFUL POSTS wAS DELETED IN ANOTheR NEWS POST! NOT THIS ONE ABOUT THE WIFI MAX!!
this patch is very old! got this month ago
i'm making this hack for 2.7 systems that lets you load illegal iso files. it uses the psp system against itself. i have found a way to sign my code by sony by haxxing their servers. let the world of isos become revived.
BTW: If there are some European guis, who have problems with this driver, use the one for ZD1211B!!! That will definatly work, if the one at the top do not! http://www.zydas.com.tw/downloads/download-1211B.asp
Shut the hell up #18.
Not even worth 30 dollars. Local hotspots FTW.
you dont need that wifimax crap, just directly connect to your pc or laptop (if they have wifi) but if you need a router, then get a real router!
I was commenting on #7 but, referring to all past and present comments in general. I wasn't criticizing QJs censorship. I know this site is FULL of people who want nothing more then to flame, flame, and flame some more. I commend your diligent weeding of unsavory comments. I was just suggesting a method that would pit those flamers against the whole of QJs users instead of against the admins. It would also lessen your time finding all those posts marked for deletion. Thanks for all your hard work going in to, in my opinion, the most comprehensive and up-to-date gaming sites on the net!
i got a linksys router would that work with xlink-kai?
awesoem indeed! but like #11 ssaid, there arent enuff ppl playing on Kai to get much use out of it
does the ds connect to this wifi max thing? or is it just made for psp annd does the nintendo thing work for the psp? i just wanna buy one
http://www.atheros.com/news/ZyDAS.html heres to hoping D-link can impliment x-link support into their routers since most of them are run by Atheros chips which subsequently just purchased no-name ZyDAS.
yo i just tested this out with a mate and it DEFINATLY works u can use snes TYL and DGEN on kai and it works its like heaven we need more people tho
Help!! I can not enable the psp xlink kai option in the driver's new settings. It does not let me tick it.
Guys... why bother with WIFI max when u can use xlink on any standard router?
sounds cool! i have wifi max... how do u setup?
No more hassle on getting the right router, the version, and all of that stuff! Thanks for having the drivers, even though I don't have a Datel Wifi Max USB Dongle. By the way, does it work on all PSP versions including 1.5?
...sigh.. It did unstalled my previous Max drivers and all that...Well, gonna try to fix the problem. 30: Cuz people maybe dont need a wireless router if they only use the wireless connection with the PSP (or NDS)!
Doesnt exist any hosted game out there? Tried Wipeout and Ridge Racer but couldnt find any. Anyway, did host mine own i Ridge Racer, and now only that somebody can join it :P
When I run the Install.exe it asks if I want to uninstall? Why? How can I install the new drivers?
Had some issue with that also, did install the new one, but messed up when I pressed the .exe again so the old drivers from the WiFi Max cd was uninstalled. What I did was to remove all the drivers, the new one and the old. After that I only installed the new (from Xlink Kai) and that worked also, infrastructur and the ad-hoc. Only problem know is that all the servers are empty! Except one game (Monster hunt). - Downloaded the client "Xlink Kai Evolution VII" so you can check what games have players.
comment noobs. phish.
Really just buy a router. This thing is about 40 bucks. I got this router - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16833127143 for 10.
I HAVE A PROPER ROUTER AND A 1.5 PSP HOW DO U GET ONLINE GAMING TO WORK CHEERS
