0%
Description
Have you searched the issue tracker for a similar issue?
The only other result for modem adapter is Wii network support.
Game Name?
Phantasy Star Online Episode I & II Trial Edition
Game ID?
DPOJ8P
What went wrong?
Cannot get past attached screen, which states "If you want to play PSO Episode 1 & 2 Trial Edition, the modem adapter has to be connected. Restart after switching the power off and connecting the modem adapter."
What did you expect to happen?
It should have booted to the initialization screen where you create a save for the game. I attempted to use the BBA in Dolphin, but research has led me to realize that when this game was initially released, there was no Broadband Adapter in Japan yet. It was released at a later date. The other attachments didn't work either, including "dummy" and the baseboard.
What steps will reproduce the problem?
Simply booting the game. No special settings are needed, although safe textures should be enabled. [If anyone is so inclined, all of the settings from GPOP8P (or any PHANTASY STAR ONLINE EPISODE I&II configuration) can be copied to this game's initialization settings]
What version of Dolphin were you using?
3.5 and -367.
64 or 32 bit Dolphin?
Both will give this error.
What version of Dolphin used to work?
Not applicable.
What Operating System were you using and what are your hardware
specifications?
Windows 8. NVidia 460m.
64 or 32 bit Operating system?
x64.
Any other relevant information or links to logs:
Although modem emulation would be somewhat difficult, I firmly believe that this issue would be fixed with a Modem (Dummy) option for attachment in the SP1 slot.
