Hi!

Regarding Area51, you will be available to create a room, but nobody could joint it.

May be something related to the DNAS server or DNS server as it was previously working on October the 15th. (last time I played it online)
\\FAT PAL PS2 + Internal 64GB SD Card + FMCB 1.953 + OPL 0.9.3
\\PCSX2 1.40 + CLR DEV9 V0.8.2 (Playing via Wifi!)

Playing: B.O File#1&2, SWBF I&II,Sniper Elite, Area 51, Hot Wheels Stunt Track Challenge, T.M.B.O, C.O.D 3, M.G.S.3.O

I will join! Where are you located in the world? What time zone are you in for 10.30?

Hunk, im sure its the same problem as always, back when i started playing it in 2012 on official servers, so many servers could not be joined and only a few people could host :( seems the same is happening now but unlike before, theres only you, me, mat and donkeykong that have played it and can still play it in Europe, and if we all cant host, then yeah it doesnt look good!

but ill try this ps2survivant server later today hopefully

Area 51 is the best... Got it for £1.50 (around 2.50 dollars and 1.90 euros) :D

also just checked the ps2 online list and it says area 51 can be accessed from america? it says you need a bypass code for DNAS which it gives, so could this be the return of some other players?

Yes there is a bypass code for the Ntsc version. Unfortunatly, there was no entries submited during the DNAS capture session. To use the bypass code, the player needs to use a cheat device (gameshark, or codebreaker) or to patch the game with the bypass code and launch it with a homebrew..

Too bad for the hosting. I could host a few times.

Edit: I have an idea, I Will try to host a game with the emulator, and I will try to see if I can join with my console.
As for he emulator, Ntsc players will be able to play as injecting codes is easy with PCSX2 !

I remember you had to set up a packet forwarding on your router (DMZ or something like this) to make your game joinable ,but it also depends on your ISP, so if it is NAT 3, you are likely to get problems with hosting.
