PSO v2 and Dreampi

Post by Sprag013 »

Hello.

I apologize if this has been covered, (been years since I've been apart of a forum). I got a dreampi about a month ago and finally troubleshooted through an issue I was having. I'm trying to connect to PSO and everything seems to be ok with the dreampi and my system. However, after it verifies me and looks like it will put me into the game it freezes and sends me back to the main menu. I know I'm connecting because I can see my dreamcast (Unnamed 4e2029 us) on dreamcast now! come on and off as I do.

Does this happen often, as in I just gotta keep trying? Or is there something I can tweak on my end?

Thanks in advanced!

Having some issues with how to burn Sylverant PSO Patcher to the CD? Do I burn just the loader (Disc Image File) or the whole folder?

Actually he pretty much answered your question. You need the Sylverant PSO Patcher if you're using an original US PSO v.2 disc. The patcher and burning software can be downloaded here. Burning instructions are included with the burning software.
PSO Characters:
Teal'c - lvl 119 HUcast - GC# 11666
Alto - lvl 39 FOnewm - GC# 12964

Oh man, that's the worst news/case for me... I've never been successful with playing anything I've burned on my dreamcast. I bought a refurbished one the day after they announced it was discontinued. I'll have to buy some blanks on amazon and at least give it a try.

You might consider getting the Ives edition, its a prepatched all in one disc with bug fixes! Easier load on the laser. On a side note I recommend replacing your gdrom with a usbgdrom, gdemu, or ide hard drive mod. Makes life super easy! Sadly DC lasers arent very reliable these days.

Would someone consider burning a CD with the patch on it for me please?
I have paypal so I can pay for your time and the CD.
