PsRewired 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. 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 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:
- Boot a supported game and open its Online Menu.
- Choose Edit Network Configurations.
- 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.
- Select Manual, then press Right on the D-pad.
- Enter
67.222.156.250as the Primary DNS. - Leave Secondary blank (
0.0.0.0). - 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.
