FAQ

You can only play online on PlayStation 2 (with a network adapter), PlayStation 2 Slim, backwards compatible PlayStation 3, and the PCSX2 Emulator if you can run the game at full speed.

Players will experience a bit more lag if emulators are involved.

You can't play online on PlayStation 4 or PlayStation 5.

Both regions are supported and can play together!

The main one we use is:

But in case this doesn't work you can also try:

You get used to it.

No, this server is not affiliated with Naughty Dog or PlayStation in any way.

The maximum number of players per game is 6. But in some game modes only 2 (Death Race) or 1 (Time Trial) player can play in online mode.

Unfortunately there is no way to recover your corrupted savefile. Jak X has a notoriously infamous save corruption glitch that happens on all systems and versions of the game, typically indicated by the save icon flashing indefinitely. Backup your savefile regularly.

If you are playing with a backup copy on a PlayStation 2 you may have issues with DNAS, in which case you have to apply a patch.

These are common errors that occur when the game cannot connect to the DNS Game Server.

The first thing you should do is check that you have the server's DNS IP configured correctly. You can find this updated in the #how-to-join channel.

If you still can't connect then you'll just have to wait. The error will eventually solve itself with time.

When playing Mirrored Mode, you'll see some vertical lines tearing the screen.

To fix this open PCSX2, right click on the game, choose Properties > Graphics > Rendering and check the Manual Hardware Fixes box.

Now click the newly opened Hardware Fixes tab and set CPU Sprite Render Size: 2 (128 Max Width) with Blended Sprites/Triangles.

Just like the other Jak and Ratchet games, Jak X is designed to be played in 4:3 (16:9 cuts out the upper and bottom sections and zooms in to fill the screen), but unlike those games, Jak X plays perfectly fine in 16:9.

To enable 16:9, first go into the PS2's main menu by rebooting the console (or on PCSX2 go to System > Start BIOS, if you've already booted a game up you'll have to shut it down by pressing System > Shut Down). Then click on System Configuration, press down to select Screen Size and select 16:9. Go back and start the game (System > Shut Down on emulator, then boot up Jak X).

This step is done to guarantee that the game stays in 16:9 whenever you boot it up.

In the main menu of the game, go to Options > Graphic Options > Aspect Ratio > 16:9.

Lastly you're gonna have to adjust your TV / Monitor's settings to make sure that the video is displayed correctly. On PCSX2, you'll have to manually change the emulator's video settings: go to Settings > Graphics > Aspect Ratio > Widescreen (16:9).

Open PCSX2 > Settings > Memory Cards > Open to locate your Memory Cards. There should already be 2 Memory Cards created and inserted, if not then click on Create (8MB most compatible). Name the file something you will remember. Right click on the file you just created and pick "use for slot 1", or drag and drop into slot 1.

The Memory Cards will be unformatted, so open PCSX2 and Start BIOS. The main PS2 menu will boot up where you can check and format your Memory Cards.

Open mymc-gui.exe. Open the .ps2 Memory Card file you just created in PCSX2. If you already created a Jak X save file of the same region, you'll have to delete it by right-clicking and pressing Delete.

Download a 100% save file from 💾memory-save-files. Be careful to download the corresponding file for the emulator and the region of your game version. In mymc click the Import button and import the .max you just downloaded.

Close mymc. Open Jak X and load profile. It should now be working. If not, try ejecting the memory card from within PCSX2, reloading it in slot 1, and boot up Jak X again.
