Phantasy Star Online Episode III: C.A.R.D. Revolution is a video game released for the Nintendo GameCube. It has a card based play style, making it unique among games in the Phantasy Star Online series. The story of the game takes place twenty-one years after Episodes I and II.

Problems

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.

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
