Ephinea Phantasy Star Online: Blue Burst uses Tahoma as the default in-game font, but also includes two additional fonts: Dotum and Gulim. These can be used to make the in-game text more closely match the original GameCube release. However, they need to be installed manually on your OS before selecting them in the launcher. This guide shows you where to find the fonts and how to install them on both Windows and Steam Deck: https://ragol.co.uk/guides/ephinea-font-setup/

Ephinea Phantasy Star Online: Blue Burst runs on Steam Deck, but some additional configuration is needed compared with Windows.

Ephinea Phantasy Star Online: Blue Burst supports gamepads, but some additional configuration is needed to make them fully functional.

After a long time offline, the Ragol.co.uk forums are finally back!

Huge thanks to LiquidSpikes, and his hosting company NoBull Networks, for providing a VPS - and to decswxaqz for some amazing dev work.

The forums originally went down back in 2021, so it's great to see them alive once more.

Really appreciate the support and generosity - this wouldn’t have been possible without you.

I recently installed Ephinea PSOBB and noticed the music skipping on the main menu and when joining lobbies. Seems to be a fairly common issue on modern systems, though there isn't a universal fix. For me, the solution was disabling audio enhancements in Windows 11:

1. Open Settings
   
2. Go to System > Sound
   
3. Select your output device
   
4. Set Advanced settings > Audio enhancements to Off

I can't believe it's been 18 years. Gonna miss this place.

Hello.

> Everybody.

Been a while... PSO2 on Steam in Europe soon?

Well, it's been here for a lot of you already ... but for me, who didn't really feel like messing around with non-USA downloaders out of sheer laziness, the official release of Phantasy Star Online 2 in North America is huuuuuge!

I'll be playing on Xbox because now that I'm an adult (i.e. no longer as old as I was when I first started lurking Ragol in 2005) I have a couch and a TV and most importantly, an aching back. I'm remaking my FOnewm as best as I can.

Hope to see you all there

Does anyone plan on getting Monster Hunter World? It seems like it will fill my coop action rpg itch. I’m getting it on xbone for now, PC later.
