Phantasy Star Portable 2

[lumune]

Funny thing is, i don't even play PSP2, what i really want to play is Gundam vs Gundam Next Plus on PPSSPP. I was just curious about the Hack that fixed this game for a friend of mine who wanted to play it but we never expected to get it working online in the first place, it was really a surprise.

Alright, i'll start from the absolute beginning.

First i went to the official PPSSPP downloads page (here) and on PPSSPP For Windows clicked Download 0.9.9.1 zip. Note that i DID NOT install the emulator, i've just unzipped it to a folder on my Windows 7 root drive (C:/Games/ppsspp/ to be more specific). I did this because i know many programs have issues being installed on the Program Files folders, conflicting with Windows UAC for example (which i have got disabled by the way).

After unzipping the folder of the emulator, i've proceeded to overwrite the PPSSPPWindows.exe and PPSSPPWindows64.exe that came with the original zip with the ones from the custom build from sum/adamn that i've compiled and provided in this thread Please compile them yourself (or get the one onelight has provided), the builds i've posted are already outdated. Notice that i did not run the emulator at any point yet.

Then i've proceeded to download the required VC 2013 Runtime (else the emulator would not even work), you can get it from (here).
Install vcredist_x86.exe if you've got a 32bit operating system and install both vcredist_x86.exe and vcredist_x64.exe if your system is 64bit.
You don't need vcredist_arm.exe, since only Androids will use it.

After the installation of the VC 2013 Runtime was finished, i've finally proceeded to run the emulator, doesn't really matter which version it is (32/64).

After setting up my games folder and:
Leaving the Backend at Opengl and Buffered Rendering under Graphics,
Leaving Simulate block tranfer Enabled under Graphics,
Turned OFF Texture Scaling>Upscaling Level under Graphics,
Enabled Depth Range Hack for PSP2 under Graphics,
Disabled Fast Memory under System,
Enabled Force real clock sync under System,
Left the Emulated PSP CPU Clock at 0 (auto) under System,
Unticked Check for new versions of PPSSPP under System,
Enabled Networking/WLAN under System,
Changed proAdhocServer IP Address to localhost under System (it works for testing solo multiplayer missions),
Unticked Enabled built-in PRO Adhoc Server under System (again, this is just for testing solo multiplayer)
Clicked a couple of times on Change MAC address under System,
Changed my nickname under System,
Enabled Daylight savings under System,
Changed Date format to DDMMYYYY under System,
Changed Time format to 24HR under System,
Left Confirmation button to X under System.

Then i've closed the emulator e reopened it again, launching PSP2.

After creating a New Character and playing the first Story Mission, i've finally arrived at Little Wing, then i've saved the game and quit to the Title Screen.
After loading my save from the Title Screen, i've selected Multiplayer then clicked to Form Party>Begin Party Play>Yes.
If you've got your Windows Firewall on, or it's the first time playing an online game on PPSSPP you will receive a Popup Window like this:


You will need to check both boxes then click Allow. That's it.
After in the city, try speaking with some NPCs and learning a bit how the Network Play works (that's what i did), then i went to the teleporter at the center of the city and after arriving at the Bridge selected the first Open Mission on Parum.

That's really all i've done, i didnt even use Evolve or coldbird.net on my first video and it worked.




Also, my Phantasy Star Portable 2 is the US version, ULUS10529
