Hello everyone. New Online member here, and I need some help
I've been able to browse online with my Dreamcast via DreamPi, but I cannot yet connect to the PSO servers.
My setup:
I have an authentic copy of PSO Ver. 2 (recently purchased), but a previously owned Dreamcast. It came with a serial/key set that got me as far as character creation, but when I tried to get online it asked me for my Ver. 1 serial/key, which I do not have (it's a new character). I used the pairs from this site (http://www.tweeg.psoarchive.com/snak.html ) and it got me as far as attempting to connect to the servers, which ultimately failed. I am supposedly able to play in single-player mode, but I have little interest in coming this far just to play alone.
My problem:
I believe I need a copy of the Sylverant boot disc. Unfortunately my computer has been having trouble burning discs. I normally use DiscJuggler, but I took it into the local RadioShack to see if my buddy could burn it there, and he gave me a copy of Xilisoft, which is supposed to be able to burn .cdi images, but the loader.cdi from the site failed to open. I tried the same with PowerISO, but it couldn't recognize the file either, despite claiming compatibility with .cdi images. My RadioShack buddy says he can try to burn the disc for me, but at this point I'm not too hopeful that he'll have better luck than I did.
My hunches and ideas:
Is the posted Sylverant .cdi broken?
Do I need to convert it to a different format before burning?
If it seems like nothing can be done, would someone who got it working be willing to mail me a disc with the freeware burned onto it?
