Yep i tried it today and sorry lads it doesn't work. it seems only those in the manual will work.
i thought maybe i got it set wrong but i tried different settings ect and it doesn't detect it.
what a shame as it's a nice priced modem was looking forward to playing it online.
at least i reneted it and had the modem on my PC anyway so i didn't waste any cash.

I have posted a message on similar topic, Modular Technologies do an external USB modem for £40 with it's own power supply, yet to know if it works though !
It would seem the whole THPS online setup wasn't entirely well planned. I'd originally considered getting a modem and THPS3 but it sounds like too much hassle.
Oh well, the wait for true online gaming goes on.

I see, that's a little bit silly me reckons. Ah well, nevermind!
Thanks for clearing that up though ^_^

Nope, a Diamond SupraMax draws its power from the USB port. Not only is it not supplied with a PSU, there's not even a connection to plug one in.

Hang about, isn't the modem an external source? Meaning, it would most likely require it's own power-supply and not the PS2's?

yeah i know what you mean just wanted to try my PS2 online really, i rented it out.
i had tony hawk 2 on DC but the 3rd installment i was very dissapointed it's the same old thing all over again, the courses weren't a massive improvement which is what i hoped, anyway it doesn't work and the game lacks in depth.
i suppose if your into skateboarding you'll like it.
i'm gunna go for smackdown i think as that was a laugh.

I'm not too worried about playing Tony Hawks 3 online. I like the game but I'm not into it enough to learn it inside out to the extent I'd be able to compete with decent players. When it comes to online play I'll stick to shooters and RPG's ;-) Would be nice to see other types of games with online play though.
I enjoyed Phantasy Star Online cause even when I just started, I was able to go online and enjoy myself. When I had Quake 3 I hadn't had much experience of it on the PC whereas others did. I still did really well and won loads of matches cause I pick up games pretty fast. But I could see how lots of other players in my situation would feel a little intimidated when it came to playing online cause the pro's would rip them apart in seconds and that can put a lot of people off.
I like the idea of online RPG's cause it involves every level of player a lot more. It was nice when I started out cause I met a few players online and they were well above me in levels cause they were in the states and had been playing the game a good amount more where they had been able to buy it earlier. I soon caught upto them though cause I was playing the game religously day after day. But it was nice cause while I was on my low levels, they gave me a few weapons and things to use. One of them gave me the Double Lightsabre which was always great for gloating
;-))
Anyway, for me, Tony Hawks has too much depth in it for my interest. Thats not a bad thing but it really is one of those games where you have to give a lot of time to master it and its not a game that can keep my attention, I end up on other games all the time.
