work in progress: playing with PS3 & XBSlink is hopefully going to get a lot easier soon.
Since i don’t own a PlayStation myself a friend is helping out , letting me play around with his PS3 to analyze the network traffic generated by LAN games.
I am pretty sure that this will lead to a major compatibility improvement for PlayStation consoles in XBSlink.
One thing i noticed already is that (in contrast to a Xbox360) PS3s have to be in the same IP subnet to find a LAN game. I will try my best to implement a service in XBSlink to work around this fact.
Update: progress! seems like i found a solution – now to the hard part – implementing!
for the geeks: essentially this will be a source NAT for data packets + destination NAT for broadcast packets

Nice work , if works can u make an tutorial? I mean the exact steps how 2 set it in order 2 work properly, Ty in advance, peace out!
thx purdy! sure – once everything is ready i will create an online tutorial how to setup XBSlink. It will be a lot easier for PS3 gaming than it used to be
Hi, thanks a lot for your nice work ! I’m (and lots of people around the world) waiting for a long time to an alternative of xlink kai for ps3. I got a ps3, i can help you for network sniffing if you need.
thx a lot for your offer
i will send you an email regarding packet sniffing!
wow man, I love you thank you
really great news for ps3 !!!!!
Well that is great news! We have used xbslink with ps2 but it seems to work a but inconsistently. Happy to here you are working on improving the compatibility with playstation consoles. I like the redesign of your website by the way.
thx
i will try my best to get XBSlink working with PlayStation consoles “out of the box” …
