To connect, download the appropriate patch/cheat file from the links below. Use an empty memcard (without any EQOA data). Set up networking normally.
Special DNS settings are no longer needed with the new patch/cheat files (if you want to use the old patches for some reason, set DNS to 139.162.238.221).
The new patches eliminate the need for any DNS queries for the game to operate, so you can leave DNS setting to automatic or enter any IP address manually, such as 1.0.0.0.
Both Frontiers US and the original Europe/PAL version should work. The original US pre-Frontiers version is not compatible at the moment.
PCSX2 with networking properly configured. I use PCSX2 1.7 with the built-in networking, no DEV9 plugin. There seems to be little documentation for setting the built-in networking up but if you get it to work it might be more stable than 3rd party plugins.
Frontiers: eeee1fcc.pnach
