CONNECTION INFORMATION

Getting Started

Phantasy Star Online ep 1&2 can be played online using a private server by various connection means. Connection methods described are for informational purposes. The original GameCube can be played online using a broadband adapter (BBA) or modem adapter, but this hardware is uncommon to come by. Windows PC or Linux PC operating systems are possible by way of emulation via Dolphin emulator (note that quest load times are poor using emulation). Wii console is capable of running backwards compatible after some modification by the addition of an application. WiiU is also possible, but is more extensive to make functional. Online play for PSO is only made possible by private servers since Sega servers are no longer supported. Schthack Server is most popular and the website is here: Schthack Website.
