How It Works

From “who go host?” to “kickoff” in minutes.

Connection tips (so you don’t suffer)

  • • Use stable Wi-Fi if possible (mobile data works, but can be spicy).
  • • Keep PPSSPP version close to your opponent’s version.
  • • If one person can’t see rooms, swap host and try again.
  • • Avoid power-saving mode during matches (it can kill background networking).
  • • Use the in-app connection test before you waste 30 minutes arguing.

Real talk:

Ad-hoc online is basically “local multiplayer pretending to be internet multiplayer.” ArenaAnywhere handles the hard part so you don’t do manual VPN gymnastics.
