I found this on another site and take no credit for it, I hope it helps some people.

"Some other members and myself have expressed an interest in a "beating the screens" sticky. "The screens" being FSOD and BSOD. If you totaled the hours people have lost to these evil things and corruption, you would probably have a few lifetimes. So, we should really try to prevent more loss. I'm thinking that this, or something like it, could be the sticky so many could benefit from.

NOTE: The only help I can give is to GC players, so anyone that has tips for x-box and PC players please post any help you can give.

Topic #1= Online FSOD's of all types
I am using a Linksys Gaming Adapter (the thing connected to your adapter that picks up the wireless network signal) Mine has a switch that has 2 settings. They are: X, and II. For online play, it must be set on X to work. When I FSOD online, I simply switch it to II, and the FSOD becomes a Disconnect, which saves your data. The you can use the multi mode trick to make sure you dont lose your items (you shouldnt lose them anyway, but its a good idea to be sure) Then you simply switch back to X and go back online without losing anything.

Topic #2= Offline BSOD's, several kinds
There are a few BSOD's I have encountered, and only one is unbeatable. The first one I'll talk about is the most common. The piping sequence BSOD. Mid-pipe, the screen goes black and an error pops up, but you can still hear the piping sound, but the disk has stopped spinning. Simply open the GC lid, and close it again. The disk should start spinning and then you will finish the pipe without any trouble. Then you can keep playing normally. The second one happens when the music is changing on P2, from you switching areas (bank, shop, hospital, guild...). The screen goes black and an error pops up. This fix doesnt always work (about a 65% success rate for me). The reder has gotten stuck, and it cant read the data, so, I just give the GC a few taps to dislodge the reader. The picture will come back if it works. The next one is similar to the last, the only difference is that you will still hear the music in the background. This ones a little tricky. The only way to beat it is to go through the menus without being able to see them, and save your game. wait about 5 minutes and turn the GC off. It should have saved your game. The other BSOD does not meet any of the preceeding descriptions and i have not found a way to beat it. Sorry.

Topic #3= Corruption
Method 1- Delete your guild card file
Method 2- Put in a non-corrupted memory card in slotA, get to the single/multi player screen and switch the card with the corrupted one and then pick a char and play. Then save, and you are no longer corrupted. Stupid, right? It works.

Well, that's all I know about this stuff. Please post anything I didn't include, and post if you want this to be a sticky. Thank you, hope this helps."

Theres a sword called dark flow thats impossible to get but i've seen pics of people who have it. Does anyone have a theory or idea they want to throw at me?

I need help quick! I am NEARLY ONLINE, but I get an error message; here it is:

No carrier found.
Please check your dial up ISP number(s) and try again.

Seriously, why is EVERYBODY offline now!?!

And those of you that have looked at this thread: DON'T JUST BLOODY LOOK! I NEED HELP!!!

EDIT - Ria: No double posting please

OK ppl, theres been a bit of a problem caused on Vega 01-01 and Deneb 09-01. Its spreading and i fear it may be un stoppable. The user SONIC TEAM and his crew (the FSOD team) have been posting a link online on how to Lobby and Game FSOD! Sega has, as usual, abandoned PSO and is taking absolutely no action against this crisis. Make Locked games, dont give your Guild card to humars of med height wearing the greyish black suit with yellow buckles and upward spikey reddy orange hair. Play with people you trust. Try to play on quests or only join teams with 3 players. This will keep the FSODers out. I was informed that hacks like this were not possible in Ep. 1&2, but as usual those Hackers have found a way around this. I have heard that Vhex has also been using FSOD, but that was a while back. I can only assume NOLing and other hacks will return from the DC version of the game. At the moment it appears only to be possible for these Ass Clowns to FSOD you if you are entering a lobby/block from the ship select screen for the first time you have done so in the period you have been online, or if they join an existing game and input the code. It is luckily not one of the worst FSOD types, only un-banked and un-equipped items will be lost. Carry a single mag weapon and armour, stay alert

when the heck will they get rid of the pumpkins and stuff??? halloween was 3 weeks ago.... the music is beginning to annoy me aswell although the halloween quest is pretty sweet, apart from that its annoying...

Mainly I'm looking for these.......

Sigh of a God
Spirit Garment
Smoking Plate
Amp. of resta
Ranger Wall
Ranger Field
Pinkal Card
Whitill Card
Belra's Right Arm

I know that some of things I have listed here are very rare but I have some other very rare stuff to trade for them. If any1 has any of these and is willing to trade plz respond with any items you may want for them.

Topic^^^ I found that its Del Rol Le's 1/18 drop.

I know everyone says that its not anything good to look for, but I want a Inferno Bazooka. But before I can start looking, which of the mines missions that you get right after you beat the caves has at least 1 Garnaz in it? Its a 1/88 drop for my Purplenum.

First off I wanna ask what is the avg. occurance of a rare monster? Cuase I'm have to be the most unlucky person that ever existed, becuase I ONLY EVER FIND RARE MONSTERS IN NORMAL MODE!!! Second I wanna ask what ship/lobby do the people who play online here play at?
