Playing a PS2 game in an emulator? Great! Discuss in the Lounge with us :) So I am making an effort to provide enough content at the site so users can still interact and chat about these systems even if they aren't active in the online areas.
Armored Core and TMBO - These forums will still exist, but will be temporarily migrated under a new category.This application is publically available and can be run independantly from a central authority. XBS Link Testing - This forum will be put up as a test board for troubleshooting and testing PS2 games over the tunneling application "XBS Link".This board will be back up soon to talk about all general topics about PS2 online. A long while back I pulled down the board for maintenance. General Online - This forum will return to operation.Star Wars Battlefront - This forum will be archived for now.However, the Game Organization forum will be reserved for "Online Forever" games, where either the server binaries are provided to the public, or LAN tunneling is possible.
Users will be able to discuss this content in the General Online board, as well as how to access such services. This started with Tony Hawk, and was expanded to support more titles.
It is a PC classic from the golden age of PC gaming, and I consider it to be one of the top 3 FPS's of its era, alongside Quake 3 and Unreal Tournament. This is the easiest game to play online across all of onlineconsoles in terms of cost and technical setup. Tribes Aerial Assault will be the primary PS2 online game here at the site.It has taken me a while to figure out what changes to make so years onward the site's identity remains intact and only gets better with time.
When this happens I have to archive boards, move posts, and shift something else to take its place.
Some of our favorites, like Monster Hunter, are no longer playable. This situation has held true for many other games. To make a long story short, its not as straight forward and easy to rally a community around the game as it used to be.
Running SWBF's dedicated server software in a LAN environment is complicated. We put focus on the game, and Gamespy went down. A great example is Star Wars Battlefront. The site has always struggled with its identity as a result. Over the years new releases and server terminations occurred on a monthly basis. Running the PS2 site has been like trying to hit a moving target.
