The maps used in TTF do not exist in V1, so TTF will never work.

Re: PSO Questions & Answers

There's a modified boot disc that works on GDEMU:

You can also use a PAL GDI or an auto-connect CDI to avoid having to change discs every time you play.

Re: Game Organization

The better option is for one of you to set up PSO PC or Dreamcast/GameCube emulation so you can play together using the same game version.

Re: Impossible PSO for Xbox?

There are lots of problems caused by Xbox using different packets than GC does. Each packet has to be documented, and the server has to have new functionality to translate between GC/XB formats. Much more testing would be needed to achieve full compatibility, but it's probably possible.

Re: What are all of the Gamecube patches permitted for online play?

Anything on the download page is allowed; anything not on the download page is against the rules, although some cosmetic mods like particle effects and music replacement are generally accepted. The goal is to create a consistent baseline that all players can use, and there are lots of AR codes that ...

Re: [GC] Altimira

I've made some more tweaks to Garon's Shop. The first is that Paganini no longer takes all of your Photon Drops when you buy items from him. As with the weapon-based features, he now shows you a list of item tiers and their prices, and he only takes however many Photon Drops are required to buy a pa...

Re: [GC] Altimira

I've updated the Mop-up Operation quests to give more time, and the amount of time scales with the number of players in the team. You also get invincibility frames when playing in Ultimate, so weaker classes have a better chance of not dying horribly. Hopefully more people can enjoy these quests now...

Re: Gallons Shop Parasitic Cell Type D Photon Count correct?

The quest randomly rolls the cost of each tier, and tier 2 costs 16-20 PDs. If the cost for that round is 17-20, you have a 0% chance for Paganini to offer you any tier 2 items. If you bring 20 PDs, you always have a chance for tier 2 items. The fewer PDs you bring, the longer you have to haggle. Yo...

Re: Dreamcast Emulation issues

You should be using the serial number and access key from your GD-ROM of PSO, as serials are region locked on DC. If you're using Flycast you should ask the emulator team for support, as we only officially support real Dreamcast hardware. Emulator bugs are beyond our control.

Re: [GC] Patch Batch

PSO will never run at 60 FPS. The game uses hardcoded frame timers for tons of things like Mag feeding, so your Mag would get hungry twice as soon if you run the game at 60 FPS. Every quest also assumes that PSO runs at 30 FPS, so you'd break lots of quest timing things, too.

Re: PSO Questions & Answers

It's one of the many projects on my to do list. I got most of the way through cleaning up the Episode I quests, but that's still less than half way done. They work on GC but not DC, which is why I made the Hero & Daughter government compilation quest for DC.
