Triple Triad PSP v0.4.20 - Image 1Triple Triad PSP v0.4.20 - Image 2

The homebrew scene has really come a long a way and we have to thank the great and unselfish coders for that. Remember our list of PSP hacks and development icons? We're pretty sure we need to update that list in the very near future as one more developer is about to get added: Zero-one.



After making the announcement a couple of days ago, Zero-one walked into the QJ.Net Forums today and unleashed the first ever MMO homebrew video game called Triple Triad PSP. The game per se is not new because it is actually the card game from Final Fantasy VIII. It was then ported as a homebrew about a year ago.

As if we still have to refresh your memories, the important development here is the MMO infrastructure. Before we go to that though, take note that Triple Triad PSP also sports a single player mode wherein you can have: random 1 vs cpu card battle, custom rules 1 vs cpu battle, and 3 card decks, 330 cards (FF8, FF10, FF7).

With that out of the way, here are the several features for the MMO mode and Zero-one mentioned that there are a lot more to come:

Create your password protected account (yeah it's free); Choose your elemental alignement; Backpack with cards collection and money earned; Online shop (you can buy and sell cards); Online exp gain e full stats; Travel in many cities and places based on the FF8 world (find your favorite!); Standard and custom invites; Win cards in matches; Private mailbox; Buddy list; Black list; In-game filters.


As if those features aren't good enough, Zero-one was also able to provide different servers for U.S. and European players. The at-the-day intercontinental infrastructure holds one server for each location. The developer then mentioned that one more server for each is needed to prevent lagging in the coming days.

Lastly, the homebrew game still has to fix certain issues with WPA encryption and with WLan Power save ON (just turn it off). Take note that 3.03 OE-A custom firmware is not compatible with Triple Triad and Zero-one is suggesting the use of 3.10 OE A2. Triple Triad PSP can run on PSP (main platform), PC-win, PC-Linux, and PS3-Linux.

The download has an accompanying Readme file and please, be sure to browse through that first before uploading this to your PSP units. Thanks spylogo3 for the heads up!

 » network connection

you have to make sure you have already setup ur network connection. Also, choose a username and password, by typing it in upon connection, and click REGISTER

And yah, this is a VERY AWESOME GAME. I have always loved the card games on FF8. Now i just hope there are enough people online to play this game against. So far i've seen some people online, but they never respond to my challenge.

-Do they mean 3.03OE-C???? Also how is this compatible with PC/linux/ps3????

Is there any way I can contact the creator of this? I found out something he should fix before some people can exploit it and I can't say it here cause knowing how many people are here they can exploit it to show irregularities in the game.

 » lol

im suprised no one else said anything. they need to fix the game though. whenever i beat someone they just shut their psps off. so i end up getting nothing


   Re: Advertising -


   Re: GiffE (Unregistered) - 2007-04-02
 » not all of em

i was beat (a number of times) and after being beat the game just crashed... so they aren't all necessarily shutting them off on purpose

It works fine on 3.03 oe-c, just make sure if u have it in the game folder it is set to 1.5 kernel, or else place it in game150

 » loses

most of the time it crashes about 90 percent. but when i win it just says waiting for opponent. so basically ive never finished a game. tons of other bugs too. im using 3.02 oe-b by the way.

Use game150 to play on 3.10 OE-A'.

someone confirm that this works on 3.03OE-C

 » my opinion for fixes and adds....

-fix the crashing.....

-mic support.....wait, has anyone even tapped that?

-more custom firmware support...

anyone else got productive ideas?


   Re: Gin (Unregistered) - 2007-04-02
 » Easily Said

Actually going through the code and working out the kinks takes time. Sure the bugs will get fixed. We just have to be patient.

As for suggestions, addressing what happens to the game when people turn off/lock up their PSPs should be high up on the to do list I think.

i cant connect online i get connection error is the servers down or is it because i have WPA password?

how is this mmo? just cause it supports infrastructure? i dont see how a 2 player card game is mmo.

You've got a point there. Hahah.

lots of players. In alot of games, there can be lots of people having one-on-ones and its still classed as mmo
   by spylogo3 (Unregistered) - 2007-04-02
 » mmo

its close enough.and about the connection problem i usually have to try about 10 times until it works. and y do people keep asking if 3.03 oe c works.

 » cant get into game

Game acts like its loading, but then goes back to main psp screen. Dont know why.

Running 3.10-2

   by thenoble1 - 2007-04-02
 » compliments

I have 3.10-2 and it is running well. Maybe a few improvements in the whole... not crashing area would be good. Some speed improvements too.

Other than that, a button to challenge people without having to go through the couple of menus to do it would be nice. Also a match history with whom you have fought.

   by .... (Unregistered) - 2007-04-03
 » cant get into game?

make sure u also put the python folder into the ms root and put the other 2 in game or game150

   by iStrife (Unregistered) - 2007-04-03

Just thought I'd let you people know that it works on Mac as well. Sweet game, and multiplatform too!

Trying to figure this out, I have a 1.50 firmware psp will this work for me? And also does it have a bot function to play against offline? I'd appreciate the headsup, thanks!
