How to Get Online with Monster Hunter Freedom 2 Without Xlink Kai

"Monster Hunter Freedom 2" on the PSP can be played through adhoc, meaning that you need to be a short distance away from other players. While a program known as Xlink Kai is available to allow wireless play around the world, you can also achieve the same wireless online play if you have a PlayStation 3 by using the console's "Ad Hoc Party" software. The software is fully supported by Sony, so using it will not void any warranty on your game or consoles.
