Not sure who was really first with this, but it seems like this bit of PSP lore is emerging simultaneously from multiple sources as folks discover it. There’s a fairly simple way to achieve multi-player gaming on two PSPs using a single UMD disc, by starting the game on one console, starting an Ad Hoc Multiplayer game, then hot swapping the disc to the other device. It’s apparently working for Tony Hawk, Twisted Metal, and Ridge Racer with perhaps a few protocol tweaks here and there. More complete instructions via the Read link.

Interesting thing i found yet again on engadget. I am going to try this on saturday with Lumines.

yes, that was said when they were first talking about the PSP's specs.... but I believe its down to the guys who make the game to put that option in.

but what a fkg cracking idea huh?

It's not a new idea though.

I'm assuming that the next wave of PSP titles will support game share a bit more, to compete with the NDS on that front, which has been supporting that feature with most of its multiplayer games.

I read awhile ago about game sharing on the PSP. I know that Namco Collection for the PSP has it included and is the 1st "official" game to have G.S. ALL games on the UMD can be played in multi-player w/ only one UMD required. It be nice if ALL PSP releases included this feature from jump.

Hmm interesting, will this work with Final Fantasy Tactics aswell?

I have yet to try multi player on that one. I will not buy another copy of game to just try it. This may be my solution. I'll report back if get it to work.
