Hello! Does anyone still play? I just got an KDDI account and im up for some File #1 if anyone wants to. I play in the middle of the night like around 1:00 in the morning but i live in Nevada so it may be different time zones for other people.

Sure thing, man. I'm up for some good ol' Outbreak.
Getting online with the PS2 is gradually becoming beautifully vintage and I wouldn't wanna miss out.
I'm planning on getting back into the game in August.
I'm at GMT+1 and it's possible it'll be me and a friend who'll re-enter the online horror; could use some company.

Too bad Dot don't play no more. 15 might, though.

[CodyZuver]

Yeah man My Account ID is 1ARURV tell me yours when you get it and we will set up a time.

Hi all, new player here looking for some possible advice on getting online with Biohazard File #1.

I can play File #2 fine but I get an error after logging in on File #1 which I cannot understand and was wondering if anyone here knows what it means?

I hate to have a first post asking for help but I've not been able to find any info anywhere else!

Once you get on, you will have to download a patch. It will take you back offline. Change a settings and save to memory card. Or start a game, save and quit. Then you'll be able to play online. If anyone can play file 1 using the PS2 HDD as in an HDD game instead of DVD, I'm interested. DVD lags too much, the game isn't any fun on it.

[Kem2000]

A big thank you from me guys, I've managed to get online now!

I've been trying to go online but I'm in need of some help doing so .

I've run into a bit of a problem regarding the network menus on this emulator

As you can see, most of the text is invisible lol. I've tried different graphics plugins but nothings changed. I was wondering if anyone can help walk me through this part? Thanks.

If using the HDD install feature you'll need to ATAD patch a ISO if using an unofficial HDD otherwise you can use the official one bundled with Final Fantasy XI.
It'll also need to be formatted with uLE or WinHiip.

Hey hanks!! I can already play HDD mode (using the official Sony HDD), if this means someone else can join, way cool!

You're gonna have to set up a new network file on your PS2 while you're doing this and take notes to know which steps to take.

EDIT: Got on, just need a KDDI account now.

[BrianPeppers]

Hi, I've just downloaded jap version of Biohazard Outbreak File 2 and I need and KDDI account, how can I get one? I have to pay for it? I miss this online coop too much!

[maasharu]

BrianPeppers this may help http://www.myspace.com/kddiguide

and for my question; i have both original games Biohazard:Outbreak 1&2 and i was wondering whether i would be able to go online with a PAL PS3 (i am getting swap magic so i can play it on my PS3) or whether i would have to either get a Japanese PS2 or PS3. Thanks! and i should hopefully be online soon!

don't pirate the games; buy them on ebay or from Japan (amazon.co.jp and import using tenso)

[kevstah2004]

He was talking to the guy above your post and you offered him help.
About your question yes with SM you can load any region disc, i'm not sure about going online with a Japanese copy using a Ntsc-US or Pal-E/AU console though, I don't think it matters.
Also SM is crap it has lot of problems with various games instead use SM to load a ZoneLoader ELF instead.
For those unfamiliar with ZoneLoader, it is basically like PS2 CogSwapLoader or CD Loader as it allows you to launch 'problem' PS2 games when swapped in-between the Swap Magic Discs. Many of the games that are plagued by these issues are those that contain multiple ELF files, for example, Hitman 2 and Splinter Cell. ZONELOADER is a dated BETA (V0.5) it will not work for all of them... so simply use it as another option worth trying when your game won't launch using the Swap Magic Discs alone.

sorry for my idiocy, its been a long day. thanks for your help, il probably end up buying Japanese PS2; i was going to buy one while i was over there but my friend forced me not to. much appreciated anyway!

[kevstah2004]

But you don't need one that's what I was trying to explain.

I'm asking about KDDI, it doesn't matter where I get my game because I'm not asking for a way to get it.

@maasharu, thank you, I've visited that blog, but I met yesterday too a person who says that he can play for free, and I won't pay because I'm starting university next month and I won't be able to play it because of time. So you all pay monthly for your account?
