Ohh my freakin God, Yesss there will be 5 lunch tittle games that will have online Enable." MLB, NBA, Gretzky NHL, ATV Offroad Fury: Blazin' Trails, and Twisted Metal: Head-On will all be playable over the Internet in "infrastructure" mode".Read the official News right here.

Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA) has confirmed to GameSpot that five of its forthcoming PSP titles will be playable online when the handheld launches on March 24

Representatives from Sony's US game division said three titles from its 989 Sports studio--MLB, NBA, and Gretzky NHL--and two from SCEA itself--ATV Offroad Fury: Blazin' Trails and Twisted Metal: Head-On--will be playable wireless via the unit's built-in 802.11b Wi-Fi connectivity.

All five games will feature wireless multiplayer play in both a standard "ad hoc" and an online-enabled "infrastructure" mode. In ad hoc mode, PSP owners will simply stand by fellow wielders of Sony's handheld to connect with each other. However, the big surprise is the infastructure mode, which allows players to challenge opponents over the Internet via a wireless hotspot. All games will allow the same number of players in both modes: two for the three 989 Sports games, four for ATV Offroad Fury, and six for Twisted Metal.

Sony's revelation regarding the Infrastructure mode means the PSP will be the first platform--either console or handheld--to have games playable online at launch. Neither Xbox Live nor the PlayStation 2 network adapter launched until nearly a year after their respective platforms debuted, and the GameCube has entirely shunned online play save for two Phantasy Star Online titles. While it has similar wireless capabilities as the PSP, the DS currently has no games playable online, although Nintendo has implied it may in the future.

What this basically does is reroute your Ridge Racers (or any other multiplayer ad-hoc game) through your computer's internet connection to play against people online.

You need to have a wifi card/dongle (and needs to be compatible with xlink kai, mine at the moment unfortunately isnt, i can communicate between pc and psp, but xlink wont recognise it), and you need to set up an ad-hoc wifi connection on your computer (and in my case i had to set up a network bridge), there's detailed instructions on the xlink kai forum for setting up your PSP and computer.

Borrowed a friends wifi card and that works, so check out which cards work and which dont (again, list on xlink forums).
