Important Notice for 50Hz PSO I&II Online Players...

[Lee-yoshi]

News from PlaySEGA.com
From June 9th 2004, all Phantasy Star Online, Episode I & II Players will no longer be able to play online when using the 50Hz T.V. Frequency Mode Option. This means that if you play online (In Europe) on the '01:EU/Fomalhaut' Server, you will be forced to play either offline, or by playing online in 60Hz Mode.

When you play Phantasy Star Online, Episodes I & II (European - PAL), the Gamecube will automatically turn itself onto 50Hz mode. If you already play online in this way without manually changing your game over to 60Hz mode, when it comes to playing online, you will only be able to choose and play on the lobby '01:EU/Fomalhaut'. This thereby means that after June 9th, all 50Hz T.V. Mode players will no longer to play online in this way.

To change your copy of the game over into 60Hz mode, follow these simple instructions...

• Insert your copy of 'Phantasy Star Online, Episodes I & II' into your Nintendo Gamecube and close down the lid.
  
• Turn on your Nintendo Gamecube console while holding down the 'B' Button on the Controller inserted into Socket 1 (If you play using a Nintendo Wavebird controller, make sure the Wavebird is turned on before turning on your console).
  
• Continue to hold down the B button until a Multi-Option Message box appears on-screen which asks:
  
  
  "Would you like to Display in 60Hz Mode?"
  
  
  
• Select the 'Yes' Option by using the Analogue Stick and 'A' Button Respectively. Selecting the 'No' Option will continue loading the game in 50Hz Mode.
  
• After selecting the 'Yes' Option, the T.V. will have automatically set itself into 60Hz Mode. Now when you go online to play Episodes I & II you will be able to choose from all the 60Hz servers to play (EU, US, and JP).
