PSO v2 on GDEMU crashing when connecting

[Aleron Ives]

MTU is the maximum transmission unit. If it's too high, PSO can freak out and either crash every time you try to load a quest or corrupt your character, turning you into a fat orange HUmar and forcing you to remake your character and start over. If you're using DreamPi, you can SSH into the Pi and issue this command to change the MTU:

Code: Select all

sudo ip link set dev eth0 mtu 1400 (replace eth0 with wlan0 if your Pi uses Wi-Fi)

If it helps, you can add the command to /etc/rc.local to make it permanent. Don't change this unless you've tried everything else first, and definitely back up your save file first, too. If you use BBA, then you have to mess with your router settings, and the way to do that varies from router to router.

Hi all,

My 2gb SD card arrived today, so I thought I’d place a CDI of PSO V2 in the 01 folder and try it out.

Game booted fine but the same issues occurred. Game would lock up BUT eventually would say there was a network error and couldn’t connect, allowing you to save and return to the main menu.

Tried the GDI (all correctly labelled in the folder) and GDEMU would not recognise and boot the game at all.


I then thought perhaps because my serial was locked to a PAL machine, I would need a PAL CDI/GDI. Couldn’t find any online, so came across Ives version of PSO v2. Couldn’t download the torrent as I didn’t understand what to do but did find a CDI image online.

Placed Ives version CDI into my already populated 128GB SD card with GDMenu installed and it booted and connected flawlessly. Did a quick test and was able to set up a game and had another guy play online briefly with me.

My old level 99 save works fine, so I’m absolutely over the moon now that I can play PSO online via my GDEMU.
