Full Gamecube backup/load tutorial v1.0
--------------------
Phase 1: Initialize the memory card
Tools Needed: PSUL v1.1
Phantasy Star Online Game Disc
Memory Card
Gamecube Broadband Adapter
Note: If you actually play Phantasy Star Online, you may want to use another memory card for this. Also, you only
have to initialize your memory card once, not before each rip or game load.
Step 1: Boot Phantasy Star Online Game Disc
Pretty self explanitory.
Step 2: Setup Network Profile
When prompted for the TCP/IP settings, choose manual, do not auto-disconnect, and enter an IP address of
192.168.1.32 with a subnet mask 255.255.255.0 and a default gateway of 192.168.1.100. For the Primary DNS server,
enter 192.168.1.100. Start the PSUL utility on the PC side with the following DOS prompt command: "psul -s". This
make your PC into a sort of Phantasy Star Online game server. Now start an online game using the character you
chose and the DOL file will upload to your memory card allowing you to transfer game data to and from your PC.
Step 3: Configure TCP/IP on your PC
Access the TCPI/IP properties for the network card on your PC and change the IP address to 192.168.1.100
with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. No default gateway is required for this to work.
Step 4: Create a Character for Online Play
Next, create a character. It really doesn't how or which character you choose. When prompted for your
hunter's license, enter anything you wish. It also might be handy to select the save password to memory card as
well so you don't have to enter it each time.
Step 5: Start it all up
On your PC, run "psul -s" at a DOS prompt. It should then say waiting for connection or someting to that
effect. Next, start an online game of Phantasy Star using the character profile you chose. It will then try to
connect to your PC. If successful, your PC will display the messages "Saving user info on memory card..." and
"Done..."

name for the Gamecube game image file to be created then start the utility. You should get a message stating that
it is waiting for a connection.
Step 3: Start Phantasy Star Online game in online mode
Start Phantasy Star Online in online mode. It will connect to the server running on the PC and start
downloading the ripper code from it. When this is complete, a red screen will appear on the Gamecube and shortly
thereafter, you will be prompted to insert the disc you want to rip within 10 seconds. Do this, and once the 10
seconds has passed, your PC will start downloading the image from the disc. When complete, you should have a game
disc image on your PC approximately 1.4GB in size. Approximate download time is about an hour or so.
