Phantasy Star Online Episode I & II Plus

Phantasy Star Online Episode I & II Plus is a re-release of Phantasy Star Online Episode I & II, and is another combination port of the Dreamcast releases Phantasy Star Online and Phantasy Star Online ver2. Phantasy Star Online Episode I & II Plus was released only a year after the original release of Phantasy Star Online Episode I & II, due to a cheating glitch in the original title. Players discovered that if they connected PSO to a computer, the PC could pretend to be a server and allow easy hacking of the game. In addition to cheat protections, exclusive content and online only missions were added to the offline mode. Now that the servers for online mode have been taken down, Phantasy Star Online Episode I & II Plus is the best PSO experience currently available on a console.

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.

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.

Black Video
Scenes that play pre-rendered 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.
