Episode 1 and 2 GameCube codes for Wii- how to

Hi all! Recently found my old disc and Wii. The memory was wiped and I don’t have the time I used to have to grind a character back up to lvl 130ish. Are there any ways to add codes given that I have a Wii but don’t have an action replay or GameShark? Would modding need to happen? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Christmas Fiasco...

...is kind of fun, until (what I assume to be) the last room, when there's four girtablulus. When I die, they wait for me to come back in and immediately paralyze me. Dead within five seconds. Person I'm playing with dies very quickly too, so they can't even draw them away so I can get some attacks in.

All in all, it really is a fiasco. 0/10. Do not play. This isn't fun, it's the sysop being a sadist.

Edit: I keep forgetting you lot don't approve of critical feedback.

Any way to remove weather effects? Pso gc

Hello! I've just gotten back into pso gc again, this time via emulation on android. Everything is working pretty good, except stages with weather effects! The fps really takes a toll no matter what changes I do in the settings, especially with the rain in forest 2. Are there any patches or gecko codes to remove these effects? Thanks!

I'm loving the Return to Ragol GC version.

It's giving me the same feeling I had when I played the original on Dreamcast. I look forward to playing it every night.

Very well done.

Downloadable Quests with Newserv?

Hey any/everyone!

I've been having a blast with ETH2GC and Newserv, something about playing on a GC never gets old. However, I was wondering how to make quests downloadable for offline play. I was really hoping it would be as simple as drag and drop bin and dat files, but nothing shows up. There seems to be almost no documentation on this process as far as I have seen.

Thanks in advance for any help or pointers.

Anyone know when the Christmas event starts on Ephinea?

Started from scratch power leveling and gearing a few weeks ago so I could take part in some mag cells nostalgia. Never got my hamburger as a kid.

The original Phantasy Star Online is being recreated in VR (Forest 1 Demo available now in VRChat)

So I stumbled across this recently and as a huge PSO fan it blew my mind to experience it. A user named Kaze is remaking PSO in VR.

Right now it exists only as a "world" in VRChat but there are plans to produce a standalone VR version as well once that's completed. Functional at the moment are Pioneer 2 and Forest 1, including combat with enemies and various weapon pick ups. You can use hunter weapons and ranger weapons but no magic yet. I really like how Kaze handled the "parry" mechanic. It feels great.

Here's a video of what it's like to actually play. Although, if you know anything about VR, the "cool" factor and feeling of presence can't be accurately represented in a 2D video.

Version 2.0 should be coming in the new year and will add Forest 2 as well as "persistence", so that you can have an inventory that will remain consistent each time you visit the world. After Kaze has finished the VRChat version, they will begin work on a standalone version.

Lost Ice Spinner - This door won't open.

In the online quest Lost Ice Spinner there are 3 closed doors that, when we approach them, a text box appears saying: This door won't open. Is it possible to open these doors? Does anyone know how?

Trying to find this (probably) Phantasy Star Song

Title of the post
I've been trying to find this song for literal years and can't even after hours listening through the OST's

I have an MP3 of my recreation of what the beginning of the song sounds like from memory that I uploaded to youtube here:
https://youtu.be/txZ6RPy6fWI

If any Phantasy Star Stans can identify this song, they could bring an end to this years long search

[PSOBB/KIYOMIZU] Steam Deck Support Available!

https://preview.redd.it/a4ke5oeoqb5e1.png?width=1216&format=png&auto=webp&s=4f29251bcbfb74d7f97c2170bc96c820cd6a198b

Hello everyone!,

A last minute present just arrived before the holiday breaks, we have finally proper Steam Deck support available on Kiyomizu PSO BB, tried to make the whole process as less painful as possible with a very detailed step by step guide.

You can find the new installation guide and files at:

https://kiyomizu.moe/psobb/steamdeck.html

This installation procedure is also universal as we are using the stock official PSOBB client on the server, you can connect with any other newserv PSOBB server by just adjusting the server address parameters in the config file of the patch so that way you are not forced to install more than 1 PSOBB client in your Deck.

Official Kiyomizu PSO BB Site:

https://kiyomizu.moe/psobb/

Hope you like it!

Cheers~

Destiny installer saying it is a trojan?

I really want to get PSO installed on my handheld. I posted a while back about getting back into the game and the community seems genuinely awesome and helpful. Destiny seems like the best server for me, but when I go to run the launcher, I am getting Windows Defender telling me that Win32/Occamy.AA is a trojan. Did I do something wrong? Is Destiny compromised?

Rare Drop Bros. Ran into this legend at a concert over a year ago.

Went to Baby Metal and Dethklok in Boston over a year ago and ran into this dude with the same tattoo on the same god. Damn. Arm. Considering basically no one who asks about this tattoo has ever even heard of this game, this was a top 5 life moment.

Is there any way to manually adjust your character’s Proportions, numerically? Or even reset them to their default values for their class?

I struggle with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, so I very much get caught up in the little details. I am honest of obsessed with getting “perfect” values for my characters. I either want them as tall or as short as possible (easy enough) and and skinny or as buff as possible — which is much trickier, because the values seem to be circular in nature, and also cycles through levels of “fatness”.

In all honesty, I would love to understand what those values even look like, in terms of the character data. I’m assuming there are values corresponding to Height, Muscle, and Fat (X, Y, and Z values?), which I would also guess fluctuate between 0 and either 100 or 255, but maybe I’m wrong?

Assuming there is no way to get truly granular with adjusting those values, it would also be nice to be able to actually RESET your proportions to their default values for each class. That way, if I’m ever frustrated and just want to go back to the starting appearance, it’s easy to do, without needing to start a whole new character.

Anyone able to shed light on any of this stuff? And furthermore, any suggestions on manually making these adjustments, specifically on Ephinea?

GC PSO1&2 Plus with ETH2GC

Hello all,

I was in love with PSO2 about a decade ago playing on the japanese server and I was just given a large gamecube collection from a family member. I noticed my local game store was selling PSO1&2 PLUS CIB for $169.99 CAD and it got me interested in playing online.

As GC BBA's are about $200+ would i be able to play online with the physical disc using an ETH2GC and a memory card running swiss? or does it have to be an official nintendo BBA if you're using the legit physical copy? just want to save some money as the game itself is quite expensive, seems to be a good deal though looking at some other prices on Ebay.

Thank you!

Is there a way to modify/create weapons that do what I want?

I would like to make a weapon that uses a tech as a special attack, but has properties that use ATA of a strong attack.

So think like the Elysion foie special, but can use in a combo, damage is based on the MST of the user, and there's a chance to miss.

I'm getting an Action Replay but idk if I can get into that much detail.

ASCII Keyboard and Nintendont on Wii U?

I just loaded up PSO on the Wii U while running Nintendont.

I ordered a Mayflash controller adapter but only the controller portion works, not the keyboard.

Is there a way to get both the controller and the keyboard working? I’ve tried all the USB slots. Thanks!

Questions about PSO 1 and 2 - GC - Patching and Moving between private servers

Playing on Dolphin Mac OS original PSO I and II disc I had (NOT Plus)

  • I know there are QOL patches available on the Ephinea site (additional palettes seems like a must. Never realized how limiting it is in GC)

  • Is there a guide on how to patch the game on Mac OS?

  • It looks like there are AR codes that allow some of the functionality of the patches (also a lot that helps you cheat the hell out of the game). Trying to play as pure as possible as I did on DC and then GC, but some of the QOL updates are great.

Is it easier to just use the AR codes rather than patch the game?

  • I started out on scthhack. Can I take my GC character and use them on Ephinea or Sylverant for example?

I looked did for some of this info Online before I asked here.
