The steps Upload a file

[PsRewired](https://psrewired.com/) provides emulated infrastructure servers for a limited set of PSP, PS2, and PS3 games. On a real PS2 you reach them by creating an in-game network configuration with their DNS, following [PsRewired's official PS2 / PCSX2 guide](https://psrewired.com/guides/pcsx2). A backwards-compatible PS3 can use the same in-game network configuration when playing a supported PS2 game.

Use your own legally obtained copy of the game. ROM does not condone illegally downloading ROMs.

Supported PS2 titles listed on [psrewired.com](https://psrewired.com/) are:

- ATV Offroad Fury 2
- Arc the Lad: End of Darkness
- Destruction Derby Arenas
- Formula One 05
- Hot Shots Golf Fore!
- My Street
- SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs
- SOCOM II
- SOCOM 3: U.S. Navy SEALs
- SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Combined Assault
- Syphon Filter: The Omega Strain
- WRC 4
- WRC: Rally Evolved

This guide is only for the PS2 setup on a real console. Check their site for the current list.

## Create a network config

PsRewired's official guide says that on a real PS2 you can skip the emulator settings and go straight to the in-game network configuration:

1. Boot a supported game and open its Online Menu.
2. Choose **Edit Network Configurations**.
3. Create a new network config and use the defaults by pressing X, then press Right on the D-pad until you reach the DNS server option.
4. Select **Manual**, then press Right on the D-pad.
5. Enter `67.222.156.250` as the **Primary DNS**.
6. Leave **Secondary** blank (`0.0.0.0`).
7. Finish the rest of the network configuration and save it to your memory card.

Start a supported game and use its online multiplayer option.

SOCOM II needs extra official setup, including a one-time DNAS bypass and the r0004 update. Follow [PsRewired's SOCOM II guide](https://psrewired.com/guides/socom2) for those steps.
