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

Problems

Modem Adapter Unsupported

Modem Adapter emulation is unsupported, preventing online play, refer issue 647.

NTSC Version

The NTSC version does not boot, only displaying the error "ERROR: Trying to compile at 0. LR=00000000". The PAL version works perfectly in comparison, minus the online mode portion of the game.

Missing Characters in Text

The PAL and JP version of the game may have missing characters in various game text, per issue 30. Such can be resolved by setting accurate texture case towards a "safe" setting, though it's unclear what setting is necessary.

Configuration

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

Graphics

Config	Setting	Notes
Video Backend	Direct3D9 or OpenGL	Avoids white screen post license info
Texture Cache Accuracy	On	Fixes the missing letters problem on the EU version of the game. Avoids issue 30 on JP version.

r7458	Windows 7 x64	Intel Core i7 870 @ 2.93GHz	AMD Radeon HD 6870	[PAL] Perfect, I've beat the entire game at 100% speed. No text/texture/music bug or desync.	Sojiro seta
3.0-189	Windows 7 x64	AMD Phenom II X4 B60 @ 3.3Ghz	AMD Radeon HD 6770	[PAL] Game is completely playable at full speed, however certain letters of a conversation will occasionally not appear. For example, "Ou" instead of "You". No texture or desync bugs though. Only works on Direct X 9, Direct X 11 displays a white screen past the license agreement. I fixed the text problem by enabling accurate text cache.	Krigo
