A common problem we are asked about, is where are the JP and US ships when an EU player goes online. Well, it's because you are running the game in 50Hz mode. By default (for some reason), Sega doesn't tell you about the 60Hz mode and puts you in 50Hz mode. So when you try to go onilne, you will be presented with just one ship (as of 9th June 2004 this ship (Formhault) will/has be brought down and not replaced).
To enter 60Hz mode, hold down B when the GC starts up, until you are presented with a PSO screen. Not all TVs will support 60Hz but most TVs in the last 3 years should support it. Select the option and when you go online, you should be presented with all the ships available. When you switch off and on again, you won't need to hold down B as the screen will come up automatically.

Tnx.........yeah
This problem has been rectified by Sega/Sonic Team as they have removed the 50Hz server.
Yeah, so now, if you d/c as soon as you connect, you'll need to switch to 60Hz mode, the way decs said up there ^^^
I think Sega done this due to the lack in activity on PSO now, PSO3 wasn't as big a hit as they expected in Europe....either that or they have a secret conspiracy going with company's like Toshiba and Sanyo, to sell more TV's.
lol, I guess it was costing them too much to keep the server open.
My money is still on a loss of interest in the game.
Or more people upgrading their TV's...
well the 50 hz servers sucked anyway, if u ask me.
my tv doesnt do 60 hz that graeat. the screen gets like..wide screen.
thats why all my chars are so slim xP
Is there an Aspect button on the remote? (Sometimes it's called dimension) Try pressing that a few times... (If there is)
