Just use my Wireless Router to play RR!!! It works!

Posted: Wed Mar 02, 2005 11:27 am

I just used my Buffalo WBR-G54 wireless router to play Ridge Racer via Kaid. There is no need to use a wireless adapter for PC. At the moment, I can only join games, I'm still trying to figure out how to use the router to join an existing adhoc channel.

To make it work, you will need to flash a Buffalo WBR-G54 router (or Linksys WRT54G) with "DD-WRT V21c" firmware listed below. Please be warned flashing a non-official firmware may make your router inoperable and will also void your warrantee. The DD-WRT firmware is designed for Linksys WRT54G and may also work with other Broadcom based router, such as Buffalo WBR-G54. This firmware has Kaidstation already integrated.

After you've upgrade the firmware, you'll need to set your wirless router to Adhoc mode. To do that, you need to use the linux command line interface and enter the following:

# wl ap 0
# wl join PSP_AULJS00001_L_0 imode ibss

WARNING: If you've no experience with firmware upgrade or Unix, do not perform the above. It may break your router. Before upgrading the firmware, you should set boot_wait to on as a safty measure. Refer to this URL to enable boot_wait.

Wow good job. This might bring Team Xlink one step closer in supporting the PSP in the Kaistation... Or not, but good job regardless!

I finally get the passive adhoc mode working. Yes, I can now both host and join games in PSP. The problem was WEP settings that were not cleared in NVRAM of my Buffalo router. Now, it's perfect!

Very interesting work. How much of the original Linksys firmware is used in this DD-WRT one? If it's stable and only minimally changed, then perhaps Kaistation can use it as a base.

I'll move this with a link into the WRT forum, so prestige can take a look.

I am excited to see another firmware bundling kaid, but I'm afraid I will be staying away from it for kaiStation because it has " merged the sourcetree of Sveasoft Alchemy" and breaks a little too far away from the OEM firmware than I am comfortable with supporting.

As posted earlier, however, I am looking seriously at HyperWRT as the basis for the next build because our project aims are very similiar and, frankly, we are doing exactly the same thing... extremely minor changes to the linksys firmware for added functionality.

Actually, there isn't much work to be done to integrate Kaid into a 3rd party linksys firmware. Maybe just a little UI enhancement will do. The Kaidstation 4 for MIPs should be able to load into most 3rd party linksys firmware. I tried OpenWRT and it also works well with Kaid & PSP. DD-WRT is based on Alchemcy's source and it supports other Broadcom routers, besides Linksys. Same thing can be said about OpenWRT, but OpenWRT doesn't provide any GUIs. As for HyperWRT, I think it only supports Linksys. I'm currently setting up a Linux development box to make some modification to DD-WRT, as it has some minor compatibility issues with Buffalo with PPPOE interface.

To do that, you need to use the linux command line interface and enter the following:
# wl ap 0
# wl join PSP_AULJS00001_L_0 imode ibss

I'm currently making changes to the firmware, so that you don't have to use the command line. Here is a preview screen of the upcoming firmware with Kaid & PSP functionality buildin.

I'm now adding these functions to the firmware. You won't find them in the existing firmware, until I release a new one.

It should be done in the next 24 hours. However, I'm testing the new firmware on a Buffalo WBR-54G. Maybe someone can help me test it on a Linksys WRT54G model.
