Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year everyone!
This update adds experimental Online Multiplayer to NetherSX2 along with the usual updates!
Thanks to IamLupo for adding it to ARMSX2, and zakilj3 for discovering the same settings work with NetherSX2!
How to use Online Multiplayer
- Go to your App Settings --> Settings and toggle on Enable DEV9 Ethernet
- Set API to Sockets, and Device to how you want to connect online with the default being WiFi. Set this to VPN if your phone uses a VPN, and to one of the two SIM DATA options if you want to use your Mobile Data Plan instead
- That should be enough to get you online using a guide like this by LogicalMacrochip
You can use the Official List of PlayStation 2 Online Games (2024) to figure out what games work, get their DNAS bypass codes if needed and which private server you should be using
For more advanced options (or you want to use the second method from the guide by LogicalMacrochip), you can do the following:
- Set DNS1 Mode to Manual
- Under DNS1 select either PS2 Online (called Cristian in the Official list) or PSRewired
Note: This can also be changed on a Per Game Settings and more servers will be added soon
To turn it off just set DNS1 Mode to Auto and DNS1 to 0.0.0.0
zakilj3 created a more comprehensive guide to make it easier for people
