PS2 FFXI Emulation(PCSX2)

Fun little project for today

So many ps2 builds been coming out recently. Finally got one that worked.

About a week ago I tried to get the crystal server installed for about 12 hours straight with no luck.

This one, "FFXI PS2 NO Play Online test build." took about 6 hours to get fully working with the set up(Which did not work as intended) and the final fantasy install

The app that comes with it for the most part none of the install actually worked

I had to do nearly everything in powershell terminal

I had to add each sql to the database manually

I had to rename several parts of 1 of the files

Eventually it all worked

Server files:

PCSX2 and ps2 bios easy to find with a simple google. Plenty of bios downloads out there.

Reminder

Friendly reminder

The most recent retail update broke the retail version of EliteApi.dll

EliteApi.dll is the file that All in One uses to read and write to FFXI's memory

Atom0s is the developer of EliteApi.dll

He has a fixed version of the api but currently the only way to get it is to donate to him

He has said multiple times this is because it is in a beta test and he is going to release it for free like he always has in the past

He has also mentioned he recently had a death in his family which resulted in him needing to step away to do real life things

Another thing mentioned is Phoenix private server support may be in the works.

I check his discord server multiple times a day for the file to get uploaded, and as soon as I can get that file I will be making a post here saying the all in one is good to go and be used on retail again

Hopefully Phoenix soon after that

While I would love to donate to obtain the new version of the api; I don't think he would appreciate me slapping it in my all in one and releasing publicly before he does.

What can you do if you really want to use the all in one on retail?
Nothing is stopping you from donating to Atom0s, grabbing that api.dll, replacing the retail eliteapi.dll inside the libs folder of the most recent all in one download,  you should be able to use the all in one on retail at that point.

5$ is the minimum donation to get that api

What if I don't want to spend money on the api?

Just wait like me and numerous other people. He will release it eventually.

OnEvent blu spell learning

Just wanted to put an idea out there for blue mages learning magic

All in One users can type the name of the spell in the trigger phrase input

and a <call> in the action input

When the mob uses the tp move you'll get notified by a party <call>

Allowing you to not pay attention to FFXI and focus on other things you'd like to do

sub brd for paeon and easily learn spells without needing to focus on the monotonous task of turning your back and waiting for the tp move

Could even set an OnEvent trigger to recast paeon after it wears!

Allinone Fixed download link

This has the bug where private servers were not attaching properly fixed

Key: lPZ95x1ByBcLiuwEUOfXilHOZIBe4JnVwfrUc_U0myA

Link: https://mega.nz/file/TPxTEaaS

Issue was when switching to the new build that allowed selecting your api in the program

some of the old code got left behind and it wasn't all linked properly

resulting in when trying to attach to process elitemmo.api.dll was not starting as it should

this version should fix that

Auto update is pushed

My Coding Journey

As a young boy I was always interested in computers, the idea of code even though I had no idea what it really meant, video games, the ability to read/write video games data with a .exe always intrigued me...

Upbeat's graphics settings

I tried Reshade couldn't find a way to minimize the setting window

I've used Dgvoodoo for years at this point

My computer is a AMD Ryzen AMD Radeon and it has a graphic setting window/application called AMD software: Adrenaline Edition or AMD Software

Upbeat's HorizonXI Fishing Guide

Since this post has received so many views I’ve decided to update it a little. All updated text will be this color blue.

This is going to be a quick explanation of the path I took to level fishing.

Currently I am 72.6 and i've got 0 to 72.6 in less than 2 weeks.

Reading many other horizonXI fishing guides gave me ideas but I did disagree with a lot of the suggestions.

Lets get right into it.

New BST set: R15 Aymur + Occ atk 2-4 magian axe

So this is my new little project I have been working on

Aymur/ridill has been one of my favorite combos for a long time

the AM3 for attack twice or thrice and the 2-3 atk on ridill

it works great in dho gates on apex bats

only downside is you need to stack all acc gear to land hits

bst has pretty low sword and even club skill

if you wanted to use kraken club you would also need to stack all acc

the magain axe has the benefit of getting acc from bst's high axe skill
