PSO Connection Problems

[Bob Dobbs]

This is a quote from Schthack by Aleron Ives (admin):

"USv1/EUv1/EUv2 are the only online-capable Dreamcast versions at this point. The Gamecube versions aren't affected though since Sega reduced the HL security for PSO GC."

This is another blow to the DC community by Sega. This affects us Canadians as well as Americans! I guess this is how little the Japanese giant thinks of it's loyal supporters.

Another sad day.

I honestly don't understand why Sega is doing this.... 8/
Does anyone know where I can get a copy of PSO PAL version2
for my dreamcast?

Try ebay.co.uk and ask the seller if they would ship to Canada. Even if they don't have it listed on the auction, it can never hurt to ask.

Thx Mytho! Yeah, I tried looking on ebay, but I didn't
really come across the PAL version, & if I did, it
would be a tad too much money...I'll keep trying however.
Hopefully I can find a downloadable one or a torrent.

[Mytho]

Did you take a look at this?

It shouldn't cost any more than $25. I bought a copy for £5 ($10) when I visited the UK last summer.

[Radkin]

No I did not! Thank you! I will start bidding on it.
There is only one other bidder. Hopefully no one else
will bid on it.

I found a torrent for PSO v1 PAL, does anyone need it?
It's no use to me since I am BBA, and not dial-up. thus I
can not use it.

That is a shame. I probably won't go back to v1 so I might just get more into Blue Burst instead.

[Radkin]

I am going to either try and find a otrrent or
a PAL version 2 off of ebay. I can't use version
1 cnsidering it's dial-up only. 8/

Wow this is a pretty big blow. That's a shame, its always something chipping away at the DC online community making it harder and harder to play online period.

Luckily I have a PAL ver.2 lying around back when the official US serves went out and I had to move to official PAL. Dang now I have to use a boot disc again! One nice thing is if you were on ver. 2 US, you don't have to do anything to your char. Just pop in the PAL ver. 2 disc and play with your US character or at least it works the other way around.

I imagine this would work for ver .1 between regions too.
