Dude, thank you SO much for this video! I have always wanted to try out PSO for literally over a decade, but always gave up trying to figure out how to connect to fan servers for one reason or another. Your video inspired me to actually go through with it, since it's actually not as complicated as I had always feared. Oh, and the Halloween seasonal decoration going on in the servers right now was a very pleasant surprise that greeted me when I finally connected!
I recently moved and in the process I found this game and my hacked wii. Thank you so much for this tutorial. If I do everything right, I’ll see you guys online :)
Thanks for the guide, going to set this up today! Just curious, do dreamcast players play on a different server? Will this connect me with other gamecube players, as well as wii players?
Dreamcast players can interact with GC players and possibly Xbox players, but the interaction is only limited to the ships. DC cannot join a GC server and vice versa. Since you’re connecting from a Wii acting as a GC you should have no issue playing with those on a GC console.
I set this all up and the game plays quite well on my Wii, only thing is I get randomly disconnected as I play from time to time, its quite annoying. I read somewhere it might be because of the Wii's wifi chip being meh, and that an ethernet adapter would fix it. I'm curious if you know any tweaks that can be made to mitigate this issue?
For those who are ripping their games with Clean Rip, make sure to use an empty flash drive/SD card, as Clean Rip will delete every file, and corrupt the folder/device names.
For all the fellas that might be trying this after me, when setting the ip adress YOU NEED TO INCLUDE THE POINTS " . ", it will say that it failed if you forget to add the " . "
Hi man, thanks for the tutorial. I have 3 questions, Were I cancheck is the IP number is still the current one? 2nd, Can I follow the config of thi stutorial, with my gamecube with a real BBA and Swiss, My Wii with Wii Lan adapter and NIntendont , and also my WiiU with Wii Lan adapter and Nintendont?in order to play 3 players atmy own home... and the Dreamcast and original XBOX had crossplay at this server? so adding those consoles to my setup would work?
Hi! 1st, The most up to date DNS can be found on the Schthack website, schtserv.com. 2nd, I know this will work for Wii/U and I see no reason why it wouldn’t work for GameCube. 3rd, GC has cross play with Xbox, and possibly PSO on PC v2. DC can connect and communicate but can’t play with Xbox and GC only PC v2.
@@kirbegames Amazing. I wonder if a xbox 360 could also handle the game online. If that the case I can try parties with my friends, WIth Gamecube, Wii, WiiU (maybe also Wii Mini?) Xbox and Xbox360... Sad for my 2 Dreamcast :(
Does this work with NKit ISOs? I tried loading one in Dolphin and it gave me a warning message about how online play can have compatibility issues with NKit ISOs vs. non-NKit ones.
My game frooze and when i reset it corrupted my save file and character. And so far i can't find anyone to help me level up everybody is just ignoring me.
Ouch, I'm sorry to hear that. Some in the Hunter's Guild Discord (PSO Server): discord.gg/ZD5CuvF or the Schthack Forums: schtserv.com/forums/ might be able to run some missions with you and give you some extra items.
Hi, all networking steps are still necessary in order to connect to Schthack/Schtserv. You’ll also need Nintendont for Broadband Adapter emulation, but you can load your physical GC disc from the drive in the Nintendont application, negating the need to download an ISO. Lastly you will need to create an account on the Schtserv website.
@@kirbegames thank you so much! I recently found my old copy and still have a Wii so I’m excited to get online with this. Again, thanks for your help! 🙌🏼
@@kirbegames okay cool. i've never used any cheats or action replays on this game and never was able to play it online :( .. i managed to get the homebrew channel on my wii but i'm not able to see the datas i put on my SD Card.. do you have an advice what i could do here? greets from germany
@@vgtaka.dr.spinder2635 My advice would be to make sure that you installed Nintendont properly. I added a tutorial for installation in the description. Ensure that everything was named properly as well. There could be other issues such as SD card format, needing to install certain IOS, etc. Try everything again and if you're still having problems there is a very active Wii Homebrew Discord server I could link you to.
@@kirbegames thanks. i was able to connect my pso disc online with the server over nintendont. i put my original serial key etc in and when i wanted to connect it says "wrong serial number or access key". i guess i wont be able to play it online with my character because i read that you cannot delete the informations. guess im fu*ked .. :( thanks anyways bro
@@pennysantana247 Hey, playing PSO through Nintendont on the Wii U is definitely possible. Most of the tutorial should be applicable. Apparently a bad ISO can cause freezing issues so try a different rip of the game. The Hunter’s Guild Discord can help troubleshoot as well. They have a specific Nintendont section.
Fortunately, PSO is a GameCube game, meaning it was released before the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service. Your Wii is still capable of connecting to the internet, thus, you can play games such as this using the BBA emulation feature in Nintendont. If you want to play games that did use the NWFC, check out Wiimmfi.
Can also use usb gx loader. Loader settings -> Private Server -> wiimmfi. Settings at launch -> scroll down to BBA emulation and change from global to on, and then launch the game.
@@kirbegames Thank you I’m gonna go there and see you if I can get some help, for some reason if I load it from my usb loader it runs fine and saves but it says nothings in the serial port, but it won’t detect the memory card if I launch it from Nintendont
Could be a bad .iso, outdated version of Nintendont not working properly, it's hard to tell. I would suggest trying a different disc image of PSO and seeing if Nintendont needs to be updated. If that doesn't work check out the RiiConnect24 discord server. They have a very active Wii homebrew community there. discord.com/invite/Vw3fy9YR
Double and triple check that all information was input correctly. It wouldn't hurt to rewatch the video and make sure that everything was installed and configured appropriately as well. If you still can't get it to work, please join the Hunter's Guild Discord (PSO Server): discord.gg/ZD5CuvF They can help you further with your issue.
Followed instructions. Doesn't work. The password stuff confused me because I made an account and it said at least 12 characters are needed as a minimum, but the game itself doesn't allow anymore than 8 characters? So I couldn't even enter my password. I tried to change my password to something smaller and after numerous attempts it finally let me. After all that it won't let me. I try to go online to type something different but I can't do that and just does a failed log in. Also the access Key stuff confuses me as well as on the website the access key is the password but here on your video its just a bunch of numbers? This is way too convoluted for me.
The access key is separate from your actual Schthack account password. The site is a little misleading in how it presents that prompt to users. You will have three items to enter in the game. Your 10-digit serial number, your 12-digit access key and your hunter's license password.
Yes, since you need to save your character. You can use a physical memory card (first or third party) or you might be able to use Nintendont's memory card emulation feature.
Other controllers work as well. Nintendont is actually somewhat flexibile in terms of supported USB controllers. You may have one on this list. gbatemp.net/threads/nintendont.349258/#ControllersUSB
@@kirbegames it’s when I load the ISO rom on my custom firmware Wii with Nintendon’t . I even tried it on dolphin emulator on the Xbox Series S through RetroArch and I get the same issue. It’s just a black screen when booting up
@@MarkyV83 Double check that you followed all the steps in the video or in the guides in the description. You may also want to try downloading a different rip of the ISO and see if that works better.
@@Crisraze Hmm, from what I can tell, Error 102 involves internet connection issues. Make sure that all internet information was entered correctly. Also make sure that your Wii is connected to the internet correctly as well. The Schthack Discord server can help you out better with this issue.

Thanks! I played it splitscreen with my buddy for 100s of hours back in the day but now that just isn't possible, so I will try this out.

None of your links seem to work anymore. Have any updated ones?
Jeez, and this video isn't even that old. Thanks for letting me know, the links are updated now.
i've used this guide and when i bootup pso it says 'a memory card is required'. i don't have a memory card, what should i do

Hey, dunno if you're still active in these comments, but does this work for Nintendont on the Wii U?

Hello, does it work with the Dolphin emulator ?
Ppl still active in this 2021 ??
Spawn said 7 people were so yes
hey , isnt the wii online service discontinued? how would i play online then?
Fortunately, PSO is a GameCube game, meaning it was released before the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service. Your Wii is still capable of connecting to the internet, thus, you can play games such as this using the BBA emulation feature in Nintendont. If you want to play games that did use the NWFC, check out Wiimmfi.
is there a good guide for downloading the game ?
Unfortunately for me I didn't find a BBA option in Nintendont. Not sure what I missed or where I went wrong.
Find an updated version of nintendont. For me it only took replacing the boot.dol file to another one (then the bba option appeared)
Can also use usb gx loader. Loader settings -> Private Server -> wiimmfi. Settings at launch -> scroll down to BBA emulation and change from global to on, and then launch the game.
do you need a physical memory card for this the virtual memory card wasnt seeming to work for me ?
Virtual memory cards should work, although physical is preferred. You might have to ask in the Hunter’s Guild Discord for further troubleshooting.
@@kirbegames Thank you I’m gonna go there and see you if I can get some help, for some reason if I load it from my usb loader it runs fine and saves but it says nothings in the serial port, but it won’t detect the memory card if I launch it from Nintendont
Never mind my memory card emulation turned off somehow
Nintendont doesn’t have a BBA emulation selection on my system
Check the version you’re using, v6.500 is the latest release.
does this work on wii u ?
Is there a PSO Discord?
Yup! Here's the official Schthack PSO Discord: discord.com/invite/pgzTHKp
