Problems
Modem Required
The game requires a modem to play, even offline. Without even a dummy modem specified in Dolphin, the game will get stuck at a screen which reads:
- If you want to play PSO Episode 1 & 2 Trial Edition, the modem adapter has to be connected. Restart after switching the power off and connecting the modem adapter.
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.
BBA Unsupported
Broadband Adapter was not available when this game was released. Because of this, there is no BBA support in this game.]
