Team PRO has created their very own alternative homebrew online version of Sony’s PSN network, beating Sony at their own game. If you have a second-generation PSP console, you can enjoy the online games that are available via the new Team PRO online games network. Watch the video after the jump to see a glimpse of some of the titles that are currently available.
How Team PRO’s Network Works
The Team PRO hack enables PSP games with support for ad hoc WiFi play online. This is achieved by encasing the normal local-only multiplayer in an emulator library, which then broadcasts to other Prometheus players. Essentially, it tricks the PSP into thinking it is still playing locally, while it is actually connecting to other players over the internet. This innovative approach allows gamers to enjoy multiplayer experiences that were previously limited to local play.

Benefits and Potential of Team PRO’s Network
The creation of this homebrew network opens up a plethora of opportunities for PSP gamers. Not only does it breathe new life into older games by enabling online play, but it also fosters a community of gamers who can now connect and compete with each other globally. This is particularly significant for games that have a strong multiplayer component but were restricted to local play due to the limitations of the original PSP network.
Moreover, the Team PRO network can serve as a platform for future homebrew developments. Developers can create new games or modify existing ones to take advantage of this online capability, potentially leading to a resurgence in PSP gaming. This could also inspire similar projects for other older gaming consoles, preserving their legacy and keeping their communities active.
The Team PRO network is not just a technical achievement; it is a testament to the dedication and creativity of the homebrew community. By providing an alternative to Sony’s PSN, it empowers gamers to take control of their gaming experiences and explore new possibilities.
