Infrastructure/online support

There was an issue open for infrastrucutre but they removed the part of it so I will do it again.
So infrastructure is getting back on the PSP .
First game that works is ATV Off Road Fury Blazin' Trails.
To connect you need to use the 104.237.9.163 DNS on a real PSP.
For now you cant connect because the infrastructure feature is still unsupported on PPSSPP.

How do you setup the DNS?
does it replace a domain from official server with an IP of private server? something like editing the hosts file on most OS?

Edit:
If i google "104.237.9.163" it seems to be used for SOCOM II Online too.
Is this IP 104.237.9.163 worked as a DNS Server?

On PPSSPP i can just use that IP as default Primary DNS Server (which currently use Google DNS 8.8.8.8 i think) for Apctl info, or may be add an option to change DNS Server in the future.
But currently we don't have Resolver HLE implemented yet, so DNS won't work yet.
And if there are games that use a hardcoded server IP instead of using domain name, we probably need to implement hosts file too in order to map official server IP to private server IP, since they won't go through DNS server.

Btw, does ATV infrastructure worked yet on JPCSP?

I didnt try on JPCSP.

seems to be fixed on the JPCSP update:

This is the logs from SOCOM Bravo 3

The game seems to be trying to send something to Primary DNS Server (8.8.8.8 port 53) taken from Apctl Info, but getting socket error 10051 which is Network Unreachable... which is odd, Google DNS should always be reachable as long PPSSPP have access to the internet :( may be because the socket were bound to localhost thus have no route to the internet
This games seems to use SSDP multicast IP too (239.255.255.250)

And apparently this game also being flooded with Vulkan errors LOL, or may be because i'm using Debug build?

Socom is not working currently.
Only ATV Off Road Fury Blazin' Trails works.

Based on one of the comment: the host may need to open UDP port 10075
Looks like i won't be able to test infrastructure mode since my internet can't have any open port... it's LTE connection afterall

I guess you have to use JPCSP or a real PSP for now.

it won't work either, because my internet connection is the main issue LOL mobile data connection aren't allowed to have open port

The only way for me to test it is if i host my own private server locally, or if the private server is located inside a VPN, and i have access to the VPN too.

Btw, this is the Logs from ATV, which have similar issue when attempting to send something to DNS Server

Anyway, i'll need to fix Apctl first before it can be used for both LAN Multiplayer and Infrastructure/Online Multiplayer.
Currently i'm not even sure whether Apctl can be initialized even before launching the game or not, based on the strange behavior of Driver76 that initialize Adhoc and attempt to use ApctlGetInfo at the same time, along with some infrastructure HLE for LAN Multiplayer.

Well yes that's because you are using 8.8.8.8 as your primary DNS. Google's DNS doesn't have information about that domain other than it goes to nothing basically. That's why you have to set the Primary DNS to the 104 IP. That's our DNS server that then turns around and sends back the IP address for the server that the game is running on.

That's only for hosting a game since the game is Peer to Peer.

So basically the private server is only for match making, while gameplay will be just like Adhoc/LAN Multiplayer which communicates directly PSP to PSP instead of something like online multiplayer on PC (ie. Server to Clients)?

Well that entirely depends on the game. Some games are UDP while some might be using TCP or TCP with auxiliary UDP.

In this case with ATV all the communication to the server is over TCP (it maintains this connection while you are in a match) and the game traffic is UDP.

Currently i'm not even sure whether Apctl can be initialized even before launching the game or not, based on the strange behavior of Driver76 that initialize Adhoc and attempt to use ApctlGetInfo at the same time, along with some infrastructure HLE for LAN Multiplayer.

See the DM I sent you on the forums.
