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, MacOS, and Linux operating systems are possible with 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, the Wii itself is backwards compatible, however, it does not support online connections without modification. 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.

Account and registration on the Schthack Website is also required to connect online with this DNS host. There is a difference between Broadband (ethernet) and Modem (dial-up) connections. Be aware that different software/hardware requires one or the other. If Broadband is used then the server DNS is entered, if Modem is used then phone line and pin are entered into PSO network settings. If DNS is entered for a modem setup, there will be no connection. The only setups utilizing modems are Devolution or a modem on GameCube.
