Is it possible to play PSO online on GameCube?
Solution 1:
There are a few private servers that still exist(I think). I found this one, http://www.schtserv.com/, but the website hasn't been updated in a while.
Solution 2:
Yes, the official game servers are offline, but you can still play on private servers with your GameCube.
For example, on
- Sylverant (GameCube instruction) or
- Schtserv (GameCube instruction).
In the lobbies, you can chat with players on all platforms (Dreamcast/Windows), but playing is (currently) only possible with other GameCube users.
Solution 3:
I found a way to connect to easily connect to private servers using a hacked Wii to play the game using Devolution, a gamecube emulator that can emulate the broadband adapter.
Following the details from this YouTube video I was able to log into both the Schtserv that troylatroy referenced as well as the l33tserv.
I recently hacked my friend's Wii and set this up for him so if there are any further questions feel free to message me.
