Default EQOA emulator

Hi, I was wondering if anyone is working on a emulator/private server for EQOA for PS2. I'm pretty sure it is possible. I think we could just make some kind of codebreaker code to redirect the game to a new server. I've seen this done with PSO for the PC and DC, so I think it might be possible.

Let me know what you guys think...

C++ is wonderful.

I'm really not sure, but I THINK it might be similar to the way this guy made a PSO server. I'm not experienced with packets and stuff, I'm just guessing

Nuker, how were you able to do that? Do packets usually look like that?

Good job (I think)

could it packet collect properly if you used your ps2 to boot an OS? with a usb external hardrive and a few bits of modding a ps2 can properly boot a windows OS (also xbox can boot mac os as well, its alot eaier than doing the ps2 one) However, how would u emulate it? Plus who would play EQOA emu when no one plays EQOA...??






PS: this is what the alphabet would look like if Q and R never existed

Hmm... I was not aware xbox could boot mac. I run linux on my xbox and I have heard people running windows on xbox, but never mac.

I was also not aware that the PS2 could boot windows. Are you sure about this? When xbox runs windows it is extrememly slow and laggy, how could a PS2 do this better?

XBox does NOT boot mac, it runs an emulator (pearpc) from within linux that runs the mac os

the PS2 also runs linux which runs emulators and such.. first i've heard of it running windows.

Accomplishing this would be quite simple really.

Have a computer sitting between the PS2 and the internet connection (or have the ps2 and a computer on the same hub (not switch!)) and then sniff the packets coming from the PS2.

The actual connection interception is a bit more difficult...
If it resolves the servers by DNS then it's simple, make your router (whether that's a pc or a hardware router) resolve the server's DNS to the box you're running the emulator on.

Aside from that, development would be just like any other server emulator... probably a degree easier since Sony can't change the protocol on you.

My question is
how would you change the loginserver?

yeah its just an emulated version running on linux, but also with ps2 you can make it just boot a real OS (or so i have seen, never don it personally) but you have to actually alter the hardware of the ps2 a tad, its hard but possible.

You'd have your computer intercept the connection to the official server and reroute it to your server.
