PsRewired provides emulated infrastructure servers for a limited set of PSP, PS2, and PS3 games. On PCSX2 you reach them by setting the emulator's network mode and then creating the same in-game network configuration, following PsRewired's official PS2 / PCSX2 guide.

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

Use a BIOS dumped from your own console. ROM does not condone illegally downloading ROMs or BIOS files. Official BIOS dumping steps are in the PCSX2 BIOS guide.

Supported PS2 titles listed on 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 in PCSX2. Check their site for the current list.

Requirements

  • A current PCSX2 stable build
  • A BIOS dumped from your own console
  • NPcap if you are using a wired connection. PsRewired's official guide says you will not be able to use NPcap on wireless, and that you should choose SOCKETS instead.

PCSX2 network settings

  1. In PCSX2's top menu, open Settings > Network & HDD.
  2. If you are using a wireless internet connection, select SOCKETS. Otherwise select PCAP SWITCHED.
  3. You still need a PS2 network configuration saved on your memory card. Continue with the in-game steps below.

Create a network config

  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 for those steps.
