PSO Flash Memory / Reload Question

Post by Sega1Dream »

Hello Dreamcast Community,

I am having issues every so often, where after I play PSO the game won't save. Only option I have is to not save the file, and when I try to play, I get the "reload" error. Luckily, someone told me about saving my character to the server and I have been successful in getting the character back, but it's a hassle, since I have to create a new one to gain access again.

I have been thinking about clearing my Dreamcast memory, and starting fresh with just the PSOv2 key only (currently has v1 to v2 upgrade saved). The question I have, is that if I clear the memory and start fresh, will I be able to load my character off the server? Or will the server recognize my system as a new one and not know what to reload? Any help on this would be greatly appreciated, as I have grown weary of beating Forrest to Ruins, just to start over again when the save file has issues.

Thanks!

Im not sure if server will be able to restore, but i recommend you to clear your flash on the console if you have this kind of prob. And create new char save file

Okay,

I decided to "man up" and clear the Dreamcast memory, with hopes that my character would reload. And... Whew, it did! Luckily, the character I started with, was off that serial key that I inputted. The Dreamcast should now only have that one key, and not cause issues between v1 and v2 key. Hopefully now, I can play without save issues. Here's to keeping my fingers crossed.
