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.
Problems
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 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.
Configuration
Only configuration options for the best compatibility where they deviate from defaults are listed.

3.0-373 | Windows Vista | Intel Core i5-2500K @ 3.4GHz | Intel HD 3000 | appearing white square(s) D3D, use OpenGL | jarupxx |
3.5-367 | Windows 7 | Intel Core i7-3770K @ 3.5GHz | ATI Radeon HD 7970 | Unplayable, it hangs after confirming the time and only even gets that far using OpenGL with disabled Scaled EFB and EFB set to Real, otherwise it white or black screens even before that, though it seems to run up to that point in the background still. | Alex |
3.5-1340 | Windows 7 | AMD Phenom II X6 1100T @ 3.8GHz | ATI Radeon HD 6770 x2 | First off use OpenGL, anything else doesn't work. Second scaled EFB has to be off. Set EFB to real and make sure you have it set to native x2 for quickest boot up. Problem game won Proceed past loading screen you accept the terms and system freezes any ideas? | Zuch0698o |
