Version info

Version Notes:
This version is an open beta. Many pieces of equipment and techniques have had their names revised from their previous incarnations. Namely, many appeared to be German words spelled phonetically in Japanese (i.e., "Nish" is was actually spelled in Japanese as "Harnisch" which is German for "Armor." Thus, it was decided many techniques will not be seen as they were in previous games like PSO or earlier. This was a collaborative effort with the members of the PSCave forum. A document noting specific changes for reference will be provided with the translated ISO (CRC32: C10FD10C) and the patch.

Download Note:
The remake features the original version of the game released for the original Sega Mega Drive/Genesis. The English translation contains the English ROM of the original game.

Download

We recommend using PCSX2 for emulation. This Playstation 2 emulator is available for Windows, Mac and Linux.

The original game was released on a CD. Therefore, if you wish to burn the ISO onto a disc to play it on a modded console, the game must be burned on a CD, not a DVD.
