Many people have been shocked by the news regarding Gran Turismo 4 not being online. This group of UK programmers have created something to let you do just that. Once again, I haven't try this myself cuz I don't have a network adaptor yet.
Requirements:
- Broadband router
- PS2 Network Adaptor
Software:
- Xlink Kai: Evolution VII (Windows, Mac, or Linux)
How:
- PC+PS2 must be able to go online via broadband router.
- Set up an Xtag account. This'll enable you to see other people using the Xlink software and play against them.
- After installation, run 'Start Kai Config Tool'.
- Select 'Normal Kai Use' as your default profile.
- Enter your Xtag + pass, don't forget to check auto-login, quit the program after you're done.
- Start 'Xlink Kai Evolution VIII'.
- Click the globe icon in the menu bar & access the list of supported game systems.
- Select PS2 > Gran Turismo 4 arena.
- At this point, click the little arrow on the right-hand side of the Kai sidebar to expand the chat window. You'll see a list of everyone in the GT4 arena in the right and all the sub-games (or 'private arenas') on the left.
- Tell Kai that there's 'just me' playing & that you're 'hosting'.
- Enter the Network Battle mode in GT4 & get it to the point where you see the 'Waiting For Countdown...' screen on your TV.
- Select magnifying glass icon from Kai sidebar's top menu (the Diagnostic menu icon) to make sure you're properly connected. Make sure it's tagged 'Configured Properly'.
**Edit: I will try to post some screenshots in the future for this guide.
