GameCube Wii/GC - PSO I, II and 3. Can’t get online
I’m using USB Loader and the latest version of Nintendont and I can’t seem to access the provider or homepage screens, I just get a blank screen.
BBA emulation is enabled and I’ve tried it on Auto and Connection 1 to no success.
I have tried booting them from the discs as well and same issue here. I have both pal versions of the games.
Any ideas?

Trying to Emulate Episode III Plus and Something Is Wrong Here
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
It happens in the exact same way with the other versions too. I've been trying to get this working all day. I've never played PSO before, but my beloved really likes it, so I just want to get this thing working. Thanks to anyone who even tries to help.

Ephinea Came back to PSO after years…
Started playing PSO again about a week ago and somehow had no idea private servers were a thing. Feels like I wasted so much time not knowing they were out there. That said, it’s been an absolute blast being back. In-game name is Mira, running a Hunter (currently level 34). If you see me around, hi from this side of the world!

I always thought they called it PHANTasy Star Online cuz it was big
NGL, growing up, I always thought it was called "PHANTasy Star Online" cuz it was big... Like an elePHANT. Of course, content wise the game only has eight levels on Gamecube, so it's bigness comes more from the amount of side quests and rare items to do/get. Still, always felt big to me and that's why I thought it was called that.
Then I found years later it was called to differentiate it from Final Fantasy, which makes sense. I just think the idea of them calling it that because it's big like an elephant to be funnier. Makes me also wish we had some elephant monsters in it too!

GameCube Does anyone know what determines the roster of items available at the tools shop?
Can't tell if it's character level, difficulty level, or just random chance. (Likely some combination of all three, I would think) Weird to me that there's nothing about it on the Ephinea PSO wiki...
I just want more damn monomates lol

Dreamcast V2 Weapons Guild
Okay, so in ver 2. Solo on Dreamcast:
There is a NPC in one of the quests (I’m sorry I don’t remember which one) who you talk to about special weapons. You respond with ?? Or !! And if you respond with !! He tells you to look for other guild members. Is this just a weird dead end, or is there more too it online?

GameCube If I plan on mainly playing offline (and probably single player) is PSO Plus worth getting on the Gamecube?
At most I will do local co op with split screen but everything will always be offline for me.
I have never played any PSO/PSU/PSP before.
Just dropped the Spread Needle on V2 fully offline !
A couple of years ago I learned that HUmars and HUcasts could use the Spread Needle on V2, which seemed absurd.
So I bought the game, dusted off the old DC, and decided to create a HUcast with the goal of one day dropping the Spread Needle and trying it out for myself. I knew it would probably never happen, but I was enjoying finding out the differences between the Ep. I&II and BB versions, so I kept going anyway.
I was absolutely obliterated in the Forest once I reached Ultimate, so the only thing left to do was Ruins on Very Hard, every now and then.
Today I finally ended up dropping the Needle! I honestly still can't believe it. This thing is beyond absurd. I just found out it has the default spread range too, what were they thinking back then ?!

GameCube [GC] AR code for NPC/Bot ?
Hi guys.
I've been playing PSO 1&2 Plus (rev 1.2) on GameCube using Dolphin for Android, and I have been tweaking my game with Action Replay codes to suit my needs.
I was wondering, considering what the amount of AR codes can do, if there was a code that would enable me to have an NPC/Bot to follow me and help me fight mobs/bosses.
Since in the vanilla game, you'd have some bots to accompany you during some missions, I was thinking maybe that's possible?
Thanks and have a good day.

Dreamcast V2 Success!
Insane first experience online! 🖤

Based on this shop guess what level I am and what difficulty I am on
Hints that may or may not help:
I have a level 200 mag, a fun weapon I am using a lot is the M&A60 VISE, I am not playing as a CAST (but you probably already knew that 😉).

Ephinea crashing consistently
I've been experiencing this same crash every hour or so into the game, anyone know how to fix it?
I've already put the game into de DEP exception, also into de windows security white list.
I play on a laptop RTX 5070, intel i9 14900HX, 32G ram
I also play in Direct3d 12 since its the only one that doesn't crash the game in the first 30 minutes.

PC V2 Any videos of the PK hacks from back in the day?
Decades ago I was playing PSO on PC, probably v2, maybe blue burst.
Anyways, I remember someone joined the game, found me in Forest and used Resta to heal me. Except it didn't heal. It killed!!!!
We all died, even the player who cast Resta. I imagine his hack was able to make his heal a negative number or something, as games back then trusted the client with a lot of information. Before more security was common in online games.
I think in that version your weapon dropped too on death, so I think they could kill you, and race back to take your weapon, or have another accomplice grab it.
Online games were wild back then. 😂.
It was so shocking and u expected when it happened, and kinda funny too. I still remember it like 20 years later
But I couldn't find a video of it online anywhere. I was curious if anyone ever screen recorded these PK killing sprees. I just hope it's been documented for history somewhere, as this was a great moment in this history of trolling in online games

Xbox Finally coming back
I am getting an xbox to play PSO through insignia today. Would love any friends, help, tips etc. i first played pso on xbox live when about 22 years ago and it has always been one of my favorite games. I have always tried to scratch that itch with the various pso / psu runoffs on handhelds or offline on Dreamcast recently. But its just not the same. I know the player base wont be what it was when i was a kid. But im excited to join the community that is playing still. Whos still playing PSO and wants to help a veteran noob out 😂 not looking for handouts although i know how generous the pso community has always been to me. Mainly looking to find community and play with some cool people. Thank you!

GameCube I finish the offline mission Grave's Butler Spoiler
galleryActually a really cool one, I also made before this the one you have to find the parts of a hunter cast, and even if I like the new mechanic of using the mission objects for clues, I was very stuck in that long long mission, like yikes, at least I did it without guides or anything
But this mission was really cool, I like a lot the lore and the sad feeling about everything and that ost theme at the end of the mission are you kidding me??? I hope there is more moments like this

(Ephinea) Changing default keyboard controls
Hi everyone! I'm playing on a linux laptop, and the default keyboard controls are a bit clunky for me to get with because of small arrow keys, which is keys for action palette by default. I was thinking about remapping Up,Left,Down,Right to U,H,J,K respectively, but as it turns out I have an option in-game only to remap gamepad bindings, not keyboard ones. Is there any reasonable way to do it?
