any chance or way someone could get their hands on everything needed and host it themselfes? If sony don't care anymore I guess it might be possible.. right?For now, there is a working DNAS server. When DNAS shuts down, everyone will need some type of modified ISO to proceed. The game will not proceed without a successful DNAS check. When there is no DNAS server, it will not proceed.
Unlikely, and even so, I believe someone would still have to patch the game for it to connect to the new DNAS hosting server.any chance or way someone could get their hands on everything needed and host it themselfes? If sony don't care anymore I guess it might be possible.. right?
What's going to happen?See, I assume that's exactly what is going to happen.I was able to successfully log into my PS2 Vanilla set up <---if that's even the issue haha
If you're a PS2 play with disc, get ready to either mod your PS2 or switch to emulator. Sadly, because the reason why some play on PS2 is because of a reasonWhat's going to happen?See, I assume that's exactly what is going to happen.I was able to successfully log into my PS2 Vanilla set up <---if that's even the issue haha
Sadly I can't mod a PS2 to save my life haha last time I did I destroyed my PS2 and now it won't turn on or anythingIf you're a PS2 play with disc, get ready to either mod your PS2 or switch to emulator.

I strongly disagree. It's not natural selection if a service provider leaves his customers alone with a ton of dysfunctional online games. It's more like genocide and I am not willing to accept this.People should keep in mind that this is a private, fan-made forum. Vanilla is barely an option. I'm surprised it was a choice for so long.
There are other methods for those who still wanna play. If people who have a vanilla PS2 and disc don't learn to adapt, then they'll be left out. Natural selection.
Well, it has always happened, and not only on PS2. People know it, specially those who are familiar with MMORPGs. We know a lot about private servers, and in some cases they are the heart of a game, since people who wanna play it the most play on those servers, instead of the original, for whatever reasons. Of course there must be other ways to make DNAS work, as I said earlier, and I believe your work and passion in coding, but It's hard to see a non-modded PS2 taking the heat.I strongly disagree.

It's one thing to shutdown services you don't need anymore, another if you don't want to support private servers. In my opinion there should be a law that forces publishers to make their source code and private keys public in these cases (or if there's enough interest from a community).
You can believe me when I'm saying that I will try my very best to find a way for the vanilla setup to play Outbreak forever. And I don't mean softmodding or patching. You must see this from another scope. There exist private servers for a lot of Spygame based PS2 games. Without DNAS those are forced to patch every single title in every single region for every single player. It takes some hours to find the needed patches for one game in one region. And then every player has to hop through the loops of nodding just to play a game that is a decade old or so. No, really, there must be another way.
Actually, there is a law that states they need to provide 30 days notice, and they didn't. Unofficially, they did. Square Enix was let known of the shutdown and told square enix fans. But what about the 15ish games still using DNAS? Sony never released a public statement, so in areas where it is illegal (which It is, but I forget where, I think its state by state basis) they broke the law and broke trust with fans. Unacceptable.I strongly disagree. It's not natural selection if a service provider leaves his customers alone with a ton of dysfunctional online games.

WTF? LOL!!! Are you joking? If that happened then this server would become dead.Also this game is more than 10 years old and trust me even Capcom does not give a shit about it anymore so no need to take this so seriously.This would be a totally useless and harmful effort for a low populated revived serverOnce DNAS is gone for good and we start requiring the DNAS bypass to play, there should be some kind of security measure to prevent non legit owners from playing. Like, maybe, on registration for the board require the player to answer a password on registration that asks for the "PDSS" code imprinted on the back of the disc around the rim. That way only people with actual Outbreak discs will know.
You do realize that most people here plays with either Emulator or HDD right ?Once DNAS is gone for good and we start requiring the DNAS bypass to play, there should be some kind of security measure to prevent non legit owners from playing.
