: '''Because of how SteamOS handles updates, it is possible that ZeroTier One will require a re-installation after one. If this occurs, only step 3 of the installation guide needs to done again unless the script file is deleted.'''

What you need:
* [https://psp2i.wiki/files/PSP2i.sh PSP2i.sh] - A bash script file that will install ZeroTier One and connect you to the PSP2i server in one click.

# If you have never done it before, open the '''Konsole''' application and type <code>passwd</code> to set a sudo password. Note that inputs are not shown when typing in password fields in Konsole.
# Right-click the '''PSP2i.sh''' file, click '''properties''', click '''permissions''', and make sure the '''Is executable''' box is ticked.
# Right-click the '''PSP2i.sh''' file and click '''Run in Konsole''', input your sudo password and accept any prompts.

If '''200 join OK''' is displayed at the end, everything was successful. If an error message is received regarding ports, run the script again and it will work.

Now that you are connected to the PSP2i network, you will need to do some setup in PPSSPP:
# In PPSSPP on the home screen, click on '''Settings''', then '''Networking'''.

::: '''Enable networking/WLAN''': On
::: '''Change PRO ad hoc server IP address''': 172.23.1.1

With this done, make sure to restart the emulator.

You are now fully setup to play multiplayer with other players! When going to play with other players, follow the below steps:

# Make sure that you are connected to ZeroTier One. You can double check this seeing if your 172.23 address is displayed in PPSSPP under the IP address list. If you are not, re-run the '''PSP2i.sh''' script.
# In-game, go to '''Multi Mode''' and form/join party as necessary, and you should all be good to go!

===Network tips===
<big>'''Leave the ZeroTier network when not playing'''</big>

On Windows and Android, to make the experience better for people and to avoid network strain, it is advised to always leave the network temporarily while you are not playing. This can be done easily from the ZeroTier menu for joining - simply go to the network and leave it - you will always be able to rejoin at any time.

<big>'''Low bandwidth mode'''</big>

It is also advisable to turn on low bandwidth mode. To do this, download [https://psp2i.wiki/files/local.conf this configuration file] and place it in the following location:

'''Windows''': C:\ProgramData\ZeroTier\One<br>
'''Linux''': /var/lib/zerotier-one

Linux will require <code>sudo</code>, to do this, open the terminal where you downloaded the .conf file to, then input the following: <code>sudo mv local.conf /var/lib/zerotier-one</code>

This has no effect on using the network and will reduce latency for yourself and others.
