If you're just looking for a disc to autoconnect online and not make your own, check out the downloads at ragol.org/dc-downloads, which has discs for all 8 versions of PSO on the Dreamcast.

I've added text write-ups for all 3 versions at the bottom of the description, so people can make their own autoconnect discs of whatever version they wish (instead of the old situation where the only working disc was NTSC-U, which is awkward for those with old PAL or NTSC-J SNAKs saved to their characters/flash).

I suspect this isn't going to be *that* useful to people, as 99% of people probably don't care about making their own disc and will just get any that works to get online, but I wanted this knowledge to be public so people are free to do whatever they would like.

cool tutorial and all but i don't get a free red ring from this?? what's the point???

[@MattSwift]

If you make it autoconnect to your own server where Red Ring drops at 7/8, you could get a free Red Ring from this!
