Phantasy Star Online Episode III: C.A.R.D. Revolution

Phantasy Star Online Episode III: C.A.R.D. Revolution is a video game released for the Nintendo GameCube. It has a card based play style, making it unique among games in the Phantasy Star Online series. The story of the game takes place twenty-one years after Episodes I and II.

Missing Characters in Text
All versions of the game may have missing characters in various game text, per. Such can be resolved by setting accurate texture case towards a "safe" setting, though it's unclear what setting is necessary. Position 2 (middle) seems to work fine, though there may be one or two missing letters every once in a long while.

Calender
Syncing the calender causes the game to crash. Despite what the game indicates when first run, one can play the game normally without the calender; so when prompted to sync it at the beginning of the game, simply select "no" to proceed.

Black Video
Scenes that play video appear black unless the External Frame Buffer is enabled and set to Real and Scaled EFB Copy is disabled. Setting the Internal Resolution to 1x reduces image shaking.

White Box in D3D
In the D3D backend the camera is somehow too far back, creating a large white box that covers the screen. If you use shift+W to zoom in to the camera's normal position past the white block, the game will be fully playable. Alternatively, just use OpenGL, as it does not suffer from this problem. See.
