Phantasy Star Online Episode I & II Trial Edition, a port of Phantasy Star Online Version 2 with enhancements and new gameplay, including new content and modes. A demo of the online RPG, SEGA's focus with this short-lived trial was primarily to test online gameplay and the offline multiplayer mode. In this trial, no single-player mode is available offline.
Emulation Information
Modem Required
The game requires a modem to play, even offline, refer issue 6038. Both the 'dummy' and Broadband Adapter will not work as the BBA was not available at the time of the game's release. Dolphin only emulates the BBA; as a result, the game will get stuck at the following screen:
- PHANTASY STAR ONLINE EPISODE I&II
- In order to play the "trial edition",
- you must connect the "modem adapter."
- After turning off the power, connect the modem adapter,
- and restart.
This screen can be bypassed with the following 32-bit game patch:
80194F40 4182002C
Problems
Calendar
At the beginning of the game, when the game asks if you want to go to the Calendar Screen, choosing Yes makes the game freeze. You can avoid this by simply selecting No instead. If you need to adjust the date and time, you can do so in your computer's settings, or if that is not possible, the Advanced tab of Dolphin's configuration.
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. Fixed with Hybrid XFB in 5.0-5874.
Configuration
No configuration changes are known to affect compatibility for this title.
