Phantasy Star Online Episode I & II Trial Edition, a combination of the Dreamcast releases Phantasy Star Online and Phantasy Star Online ver2. A demo of the online RPG, its focus is online gameplay with a strong offline storyline, offering diverse online and offline gameplay.
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 since the BBA was not available at the time of the game's release, and Dolphin only emulates the BBA, and not the modem. Since neither setting currently works, 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.
This screen can be bypassed with the following game patch:

Problems
Calendar
Syncing the calendar causes the game to crash. Despite what the game indicates when first run, one can play the game normally without the calendar; 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. Fixed with Hybrid XFB in 5.0-5874.
Configuration
Only configuration options for the best compatibility where they deviate from defaults are listed.
