Heh just PM me when you have it. I'll probably be around online sooner or later.

The most easy ships to hang out in are Anteres 08 and Anteres 10.

I would avoid Vega all in general unless you want to see a real time active War Room on PSO.

how could the gc version be the best?

HOW?!?!

the xbox has everything the gc one has and MORE

saying that the gc versionis better is just the stupidest statment possible

They are both good but I prefer the Xbox one due to the voice support plus if you want a KB the adapter is only 6 dollars unlike the GCN where you have to spend a ridiculous amount for a kb.

DIRK, my girlfriend she lives with me she is
Rock3njess say hi Thx guys i will start goin to antares 08 10 from now on

Actually the Gamecube version has more quest to play, connects to Europe and Japan servers for international play, and isn't as badly hacked out. X-box version comes with an easy to use keyboard adapter and voice support. Those are the only real differences. I'd take international play, more quest, and no level hacking myself.

The only servers shut down for the Cube version that I know of where the earlier Japan servers that ran the bugged verion of PSO when it was first released. They fixed the bug, released it in the US, then later replaced the Japanese versions for players and connected the servers.

there are ps/2, psx controller adapters.
you can find them on ebay sometimes.
they usually fetch around 20 or so though.
but this was posted awhile back.
i think i might hop in and pick it up.

might as well since i plan on getting the card
player version. i m sure the demand for a keyboard
or adapters would rise again on that occassion

bingo

and BTW.. the keyboards are about $20... for a decent one.
The Gamecube one supposively gets more direct quests coming from the Sega Servers.

But honestly, there have been a decent amount of people on there!

Who is up to play sometime?

and I really do not like the voice chat feature. I tried that kind of stuff out about 3-4 years ago with Roger WIlco...etc.
It was not fun then... and its not fun now.

Gone for a few days and the uninformed comment comes forth.

One of the major differences between the Xbox and GC versions of PSO is the fact you cannot hack the Gamecube version. Peroid.

The only thing people have been able to get away with on the GC is the ability to dupe items.

However thanks to the X-Box's wonderfully designed hardware, the game has been totally hacked wide open.

Weapons that noboby should have, items that were never meant to be in the game. % Values of weapons above and beyond the legal limit.

Character classes equiping Weapons/Armor that was never meant for their class. Androids casting techs ect ect. The Xbox version got royally fucked.

All that the GC got was a minor problem with character corrupution which the Xbox version also has this problem & of course duping.

Everything else i mentioned is exclusive to the Xbox.


Oh and fyi about the Xbox version having more? jesus I swear you should look into what you think you're talking about before you open your mouth.

1st off Online Challange Mode. This is a mode for what most players consider the testing grounds of PSO. You literally start at level 1 with Basic weapons, items, mag and go through each stage of the game without dying.

The levels are preset at each point so you can't get ahead of the game.

I.e. Challange 1 you start at level 1 and Challange 2 you start at level 5.

There are 9 Challange runs in all with a total of 46 Stages in all. The GC version of PSO has had the last Challange uploaded since like 6 Months ago for C-Mode.

The X-Box version had just NOW gotten Challanges 5 & 6 up.

Also there is a quest known as Gallon's Shop in which you trade in an item called a Photon Drop. This quest was open to access since the GC version came out.

The X-Box players are still waiting for it even now.

New Quests on the GC are literally coming out on a near month to month basis. Since the last update on C5 & C6 for the Xbox.

3 Quests for the GC have come up since then with a 4th due out near the end of this coming month.

There is a lot more I could go into concerning details but I think what I'm trying to say is that unless you're actually playing this game, it would be best to keep an uninformed opinion to yourself.

The support of the Xbox version of PSO has been terrible and rightly so people are saying the GC version IS better and with good reason.

bingo

Who is open on Sat?

What... there used to be a TON of people on this board with the GC PSO ... and played it online.

I am getting 2 more NEW BBA's if people are interested. I will also be open to play time

What happened to all the online PSO Players?!

†B†V†

I used to be online but I could never find anyone to play with. Most of the peeps that I used to play with dropped off and were never seen or heard from again. I'd post to meet with people here only to have my posts go unanswered. annoyed or they would want to meet at some ungodly hour because of the time difference. It was nice while it lasted...
when's the card version coming out?

The card version? later this year or next

I have about 2 people on my board besides me that get together

But.. its hard for me to get a time because my life is hectic right now..

I want to get online.

so did you cancel your membership?

†B†V†

I'd like to get into PSO, but I can't bring myself to buy the game, a network adaptor, and pay the monthly fee. Maybe if there was going to be anymore online GC games, but I don't think there will be. Well, besides the new PSO game thats coming out.

Like a hot knife through butter.
Given that Derek is probably one of maybe 15 people on Earth who's taken both the DC and GC versions of PSO to 200, I'd take his word on these issues.

There are three online games for Gamecube that I know of. Two being PSO 1 & 2, and PSO 3. The last one I recall was Ghouls and Ghost Online, which will be coming to PC and PS2 as well, if it is still in development. For some reason it seems that the online aspects to Auto Modellestia (sp) were taken out, which is quite puzzling. One nice thing that has recently come to light, and something I had hoped would be the case when Episode 3 was announced, is the fact that your Hunter's License will carry over. Meaning that if you subscribe to PSO 1 & 2, then you can play PSO 3 without paying anything extra. Or if you sign up with Episode 3, you can get yourself online with Episodes 1 & 2 and keep the flat 8.95 a month rate going. I'll definately be playing PSO Episode 3, and I really don't want to pay for more then one online game at a time, I love the fact that I can still pop in PSO 1 & 2 without having to worry about it. On a side note, Episode 3 is currently testing in Japan I believe, and a release would probably be likely before the end of the year if there aren't many problems.

Does anyone play PSO with a dial up connection? I would have to play it with one if I got it. Well, I am getting ready to start college, where I'll have a T3 line to use, but I don't really need anything there to suck my time up.

If I get into PSO for the GC, I'll be playing it at my mom and dads house on the weekends, where dial up is the only option.

I have a similar situation, and I play on dial up, no problems here. I thought of just buying a BBA and going through my PC, thus allowing me to use the dial up connection on my PC, or the T3 at my school, but I'm not sure how well a BBA would function feeding off a 56k. I figured it might be wanting to much to fast and sucking it up bad...but I never tried that idea out since they didn't have BBAs in stock and I had to be playing asap. I had the game for two weeks offline before I finally found a modem to get my ass online.

and if you are concerned with the speed of the 56k.. its not too bad.

Every once in awhile you will see a character "jump" because they are on the 56K.... but I have YET to see any real significant lag..... even at the intense parts of the game.

The only part it takes a lot of extra load time is getting into the game.

Yeah, I cancelled it, but I can always resubscribe. I figured if i'm gonna play PSO might as well play at home. No use playing online by myself. Plus I felt kinda left out when trying to talk without a KB. I was looking for one at a decent price for a while but if i'm not going to be online I figured why bother. If I find a KB for a decent price, maybe i'll come back.

cool

Like I said.. I have a couple people that stil play.

but.... does ANYONE know if it is possible to get an adaptor for a Nintendo 64 Disk Drive Keyboard and be able to hook it up to the cube?

I have 3 in stock right now... and they are really nice Nintendo Brand Keyboards.... that fit the N64... but were to be used with the Disk Drive system.

I'd like to use one of those... nice layout!


Edit:
LOOPZ.... I LOVE THIS PIC!!!
