Well, lag is always going to be an issue (until someone invents tachyon communications, the laws of physics say so), but under normal Internet conditions, lag can be minimal if the algorithms that deal with it are good. I'd say that GCARS-CS is very good at dealing with lag, at least in theory, because the game never slows down, and frames are never dropped. The only problem at the moment is the rubber-banding, which occurs because the controller data being sent is lossy, i.e. 5 out of 6 frames of controller data are discarded.bill7907 said:Okay i hear about "rubber-banding" and some other problems with SSBM, but do you think you guys will be able to make the game run as fast playing offline?
Amen, im not bad with computers but A. I dont want to spend money and B. I dont want to waste time trying to figure out how to set it up I WANT TO PLAY ONLINEbill7907 said:But why do we need some computer skills for the "Phantasy Star Online" method.Isn't it only inserting the game then take it out.Then put Smash brothers or any other Gamecube game you want to play online and then you're set?Or it's more complicated than that.
I seriously suggest you guys(i'm talking to the people who are making the program and the testers) to explain this the easiest way possible because there's more people than you think who are not comfortable with computers.Again this will scare them away.I mean yeah everything is good,you guys started testing the game and it actually works,but if you want more people to join you will need to make it seem much easier than that.
You will need a step-by-step to the easiest method.
Its sounds simple enough.... I guess a video instruction or a step by step instead of all bunched together in one paragraph would still be easier to understand, also, isnt there a free way I really dont want to buy a game just for this, unless its under 8 dollars.bornfidelity.com said:If you have the adapter and PSO1+2 (you know, that's one game) (note that PSO1&2 plus and PSO3 both won't work!!) then you need to get Cubesoft Phoenix 2.5 (google it around), which is sortof a wrapup of all the programs you need. Then, find on google a tutorial on streaming gamecube games, I believe there's on on the afterdawn forums, dand there will be explained how to initialize your memory card (that's part 1 of the tutorial). After that, all you have to do is choose 'load DOL file' in Phoenix 2.5 and load up the PSO1&2 game the same way as you have already done in that tutorial. Where you obviously load the gcars dol file. Voila, you've got gcars running on your cube. What to do next, you have to go to the leetstudios gx forums (there's already a link in this thread), there people can explain this to you.
The great advantage of the PSO method, it's the simplest, cheapest, it just takes maybe a minute, because the PSO game has to startup first (and off course, with our luck, PSO has the longest running set of starting screens in a game, EVER >_>'). Anyway, with this method, you will be also able to backup your cubegames to your pc, and stream them from your pc to your cube (sure you could play downloaded cubegames as well, but that's illegal if you don't own the game ). So it's definatly worth your money. A BBA you can pick up secondhand for about 25 bucks, PSO1&2 doesn't have to be very expensive either.
Ok a free legal way...bornfidelity.com said:Yeah, there's also a free way. You could break into to someone's house and steal his BBA and PSO. And while you're at it, check if he's got SSBM v1.0, and send it to me.
It's one game, and most likely the game you've got (as long as it's not version plus). If you have a BBA, you're good to go. Just check out a few posts earlier, I explained what to look for.joejoe22802 said:when u say pso1 and 2 is that two separate games? or is it that one game that has episode one and two? cuz i have that! what a great game. And Is there a Tutorial with like links to find Cubesoft Phoenix 2.5 and such ? cuz thatd be great
To use Samson's loader, you'll need an AR and a memory card (I recommend an official 59- or 251-block card). However, to set it up, you'll need to run a .dol file, which means you must already have another method to set it up. If a friend has a .dol loading method set up that you can borrow, or if you are able to rent PSO 1&2, it's a great choice. Otherwise, you're stuck with something else.Bakuryu said:Ok that a bits more reason able, so if you have action replay I can do it free with Samons way? If so im all game I just need a bba, which you can buy where? Also does this work with all version I saw someone post 1.2 only is it true?
Did you even read the instructions I gave? I linked to a good tutorial, and gave lots of information. If, after doing everything in the tutorial, and searching Google extensively, there is a particular thing you don't understand, feel free to ask here, but please don't just complain that you don't get it without even attempting to get it working by yourself.joejoe22802 said:ok im not asking for a tutorial but could i just have a list of what u need and very basic steps of what to do. (the stesp dont have to be details just very general)
Actually, I believe (not 100% sure) that v1.2 USA and the PAL version are different. I'm not sure on this; that's just what I've heard.bornfidelity.com said:Biolizard, I heard you were able to do v1.2 (aka PAL, I believe) scripts, if you could borrow it from your friend... well, what about you do some of it at your friends' house? ^_<
'Cause really, I'm on a dead on the whole scripthacking thing.
If you're on a router, enter for your local IP either the local IP you want your Cube to have, or leave it as 0.0.0.0 to have it assigned by DHCP.dragonsshadows said:I would be willing to try this with anyone... I already figured out the PSOLoad and getting GCARS-CS on the cube. My problem is with the IP addresses (for controller 1, controller 2, controller 3, controller 4) in GCARS-CS I don't know what to put there. I also don't know if a router will get in the way. The router sets the IP address to 192.168.0.x (x being random 'cuse my network is dynamic) won't that cause problems if im connecting to someone else who uses a similure router that uses 192.168.0.y?
Obiously to play online u'd need to use a router because you can't be connected to the PC and the GC and the internet with a crossover ethernet cable. Unless we are allowed to disconnect from the PC when GCARS-CS is loaded...
Once I figure this out... I'll be willing to post a detailed instruction manual from start to finish on how to do this. I already made one for using GCNrdGUI.
I should probably mention that GCNrdGUI is not necessary to run GCARS-CS. It is only necessary if you want to hack codes or scripts.dragonsshadows said:Ok I got the router to work with it now. All I needed to do was set the default gateway to 192.168.0.1 and add a secondary DNS. I'm using my wireless card now so I can be on both the net and control the GC @ the same time.
Here are the instructions on how to get GCNrdGUI to work w/the cube.
