[Gc-linux-devel] Using PSOload

[Shaun J. <sja...@gm...>]

Hello,

I'm using PSOload for the first time. I'm running PSO3 (C.A.R.D.
Revolution) on my GameCube. I ran psoload with -i set to my external
IP address, set the GameCube's DNS server to my internal IP address,
and fired up PSO's web browser. It was awesome to see that worked
right away! I browsed my MythTV listings guide using my GameCube.
Pretty cool!

I'm trying to run a DOL file now. I have an SMC router and I forwarded
TCP ports 9000-9003, 9100, 9200, and 9201 to my internal IP. Which
ports are necessary, by the way? On the GameCube, I created a new
account, entered the serial# 11-1111-1111, access key 1111-1111-1111,
and password sdload. PSO says "Connecting to the DNS server." and
psoload2 says "Query from: 192.168.1.202". The process stalls there
though.

I used ethereal, a network sniffer, to see that the GameCube asked the
psoload2 DNS server for the address of gc01.st-pso.games.sega.net, and
psoload2 replied with my external IP address. The  GameCube then sends
an ARP request for my router, the gateway, but I don't see any
GameCube traffic after that. Any suggestions?

Thanks!
Shaun

What are you using your router for? If the GC and PC are on the same net
there should be no requirement to route ports. Also, you should set the
-i switch to the IP of the card which the GC is connected to. Eg:

PC -------------------------Switch or cross cable----GC
192.168.1.1                                     192.168.1.10
Psoload -i 192.168.1.1                          DNS:192.168.1.1
                                                Default gw:192.168.1.1

So PSO asks its 'dns server' 192.168.1.10: which is
gc01.st-pso.games.sega.net?
PC replies I (192.168.1.1) am
Then GC contacts 192.168.1.1 to request its 'update'(dolfile) from the
'sega server' (your pc)

At least, that is the way it should work.
Keep in mind that the GC network adaptor is only 10 Mbit which sometimes
causes trouble. For me, I had to hook up a 10Mbit hub between my GC & my
100MBit switch to make it work relyably. A cross cable to my laptop
worked as well.

Re: [Gc-linux-devel] Using PSOload

[Shaun J. <sja...@gm...>]

I read in sdload/readme.txt that PSO3 wouldn't connect to internal IPs
like 192.168.x.x and 10.x.x.x. So, I'm trying to go through my
router's external IP and forwarding the PSO ports to my internal Linux
box.

The more I look into it though, the more it looks like PSO3 (US)
doesn't work with psoload 2.0. For one thing psoload 2.0 is listening
on ports TCP/9000-9003, 9100, 9200, and 9201, whereas the PSO3 (US) is
attempting to connect to port TCP/9103.

There's a copy of PSO1&2 in the used bin of my local Electronic
Boutique, but I'm afraid it will suffer the same problem.

Cheers,
Shaun

I doubt this; I don't think PSOLoad does supports PSO3.

IIRC the network protocol was changed between PSO2 and PSO3.
Specifically the feature that allowed code to be uploaded by a remote
server was removed.

EB had PSO3 for $20, PSO1&2+ for $30, and PSO1&2 for $40 --
interesting pricing. I tried PSO3, and it didn't work. I haven't tried
PSO1&2+, but PSO1&2 works perfectly.
