Content wise the Xbox and GC versions have much more. Episode I is basically PSOv2 but Episode II turns some battle levels from V2 into actual levels and introduces some entirely new levels.Bob Dobbs wrote:any GC version is basically the same as PSOv2 except there are minor "differences" in which unfortunately do not allow them to play with PC and DC players at least on Sylverant.

The people that play on the servers now are generally good people so so the necessity to get ver 2 instead of ver 1 is not as big as it used to be.

Or, you could get the patch disc directly from the source, of course.MobiusX wrote:Bob Dobbs wrote:As far as online goes, do not forget to go to Dreamcast-Live.com to download the patch disc.

Sylverant is the server software that I wrote, as well as the server that the Dreamcast-Talk ship (Vega) is a part of. All of the ships on Sylverant are running the same server software and all work together, although some are running potentially different revisions of it. Iselia and Altimira (the two ships that are hosted on my actual server machine) are always kept up-to-date (not that it matters in most cases, since most revisions recently have been relatively minor).MobiusX wrote:Retrojaner wrote:And register at Sylverant and play on ship Vega...
That raises another question. If I start playing on one server and ship, can I also play on others with my same character? Basically, I just want to go where ever I have the best chance of actually finding other people to play with. I'm not clear on the difference between using the Dreamcast-Talk server or Sylverant.
The PC version (that is compatible with the Dreamcast one, i.e, not Blue Burst) has its own interesting sets of quirks and issues, largely stemming from the fact that it was written for Windows 98. You might actually find it more enjoyable (especially if you're going through the trouble of setting up a DreamPi anyway) to just play on the Dreamcast full-time.MobiusX wrote:SEGA RPG FAN wrote:Content wise the Xbox and GC versions have much more.

Cool, that's something I was confused about.
I figure if I really get into the game, I'll switch to the PC version. But for now, I'm mostly looking forward to the novelty of enjoying some online play on my Dreamcast again.
