Sylverant is a homebrew open source server for Phantasy Star Online. Dreamcast users still play PSO online with this server even today! This is the official forum for both the online game server as well as the open source project itself. Feel free to post and get a gathering started online! We can also show you how to get connected!

DC does not support this packet, so GC keeps waiting for the other client to acknowledge that it's done loading the quest, but DC never does, so GC remains stuck. It's possible that this feature wasn't implemented the last time you played here, and that's why you were able to load quests cross platform.
Actually, that's been implemented in the code since when I first added GC support, so that's definitely not the issue.
As for what it is, I have no idea. Nothing has changed in the code that should affect that at all. Unless it's some weird quirk of whatever quest you're trying to load...

Even so, it didn't actually work until I asked you to fix it in 2015. GC clients would still begin the quest whenever they completed the download, rather than waiting for the other clients to finish first.

Oh... Right, derp. Forgot about the fact that I just sent it out right away initially.
Unfortunately, due to some things that happened, I made the decision to make those two commands (/allowgc and /showdcpc) require GM permissions in 2019.

Oki, thanks for your answer. Too bad for us but I understand your choice. Thanks again for the hours we used to play together, we will now play quests alone
