Using PCSX2 Emulator - Method 2

Method 2 can be valid to try out if you always play the same game and don't change DNS often, or if Method 1 isn't working for you.

PCSX2 · Method 2

1. Boot up PCSX2 but don't run the game yet. Click on Settings > Network and HDD. Under "Ethernet" check the box next to "Enabled".
2. At "Ethernet Device Type", select Sockets. At "Ethernet Device", select either Ethernet or Wi-Fi depending on the connection method you're using.
3. In the "Intercept DHCP" tab below, next to "DNS1 Address:" enter the DNS you want to use manually.

   DNS1152.228.173.179

   Copy 152.228.173.179
4. The next steps are similar to real hardware but with the difference of leaving everything set to Auto in the Network Configuration Utility.

   • When you're asked about your user ID and password of your provider, select "Not Required";
   • When you're asked about setting the IP address, select "Auto";
   • When you're asked how you want to set the DNS address, select "Auto";
5. Let the utility go through the Connection Test, which should complete successfully.
6. Then name your configuration however you wish.
7. Finally, save the configuration, go back to the main menu and press Circle, then select "Quit" to leave the utility.
8. Jak X will reboot. In the main menu, go back to Exhibition > Online and select your Network Configuration.
9. After the "Initializing Network Hardware" message and the DNAS screen, you'll be asked to create an account to use for the game. Usernames with offensive terms will be banned by staff.
10. Then select a password. You can choose to save the password so you don't have to re-enter it every time you log in.
11. After the "Connecting to Lobby" message you'll be presented with the Online Policy Agreement. Select "Accept" and press Square to continue.
12. You'll see the Welcome message, then choose whether you want to play Single Player or Split-Screen Multiplayer, and you'll be at the main online menu.
13. From here you can Create Game to host a lobby, or Find Game to search for already existing lobbies. That's all there is to it. Have fun!
