[Para]

Beta ended long time. PSO BB is retail now.

[el_mattso]

But only in japan, right?

[Dhylec]

currently, it's japan only
but non-jp residents can play too if you read the guides & stickies

[el_mattso]

But what about demos? Is there any english version of any demos? Does demos even exist?

[Arislan]

No, there is NO English version of Blue Burst. The retail version has a 15 day trial available, simply download, register an ID, and play.

[el_mattso]

When will it be released in europe? Next year?

It most likely wont be relased outside japan...

[el_mattso]

I have to get this clear. Is PSOBB just a client? So you are just paying for the license, not for the game itself. Am I right?

[Arislan]

Correct. The game is free to download, you just pay for the Hunters License to play.

[el_mattso]

Ok. But what about a english-language patch?
Or something like that?

[Arislan]

That means, NO patch, NO version, nothing. All Japanese.

[el_mattso]

I've heard that on some posts that it isn't any japanese at all, instead just some signs and characters. If you don't want it that way, is there any way to fix it? (get the japanese letters).

Damn....you changed your tune didnt you.

[Arislan]

Well, he asked the same question twice.
First time, I nicely answer.
Second, I bluntly answer.
Third, I hit you over the head with a blunt object.

If you mean about the patch itself, Broomop did make a patch. It translates the first menu (Item Pack, Options, Mag, etc) and the first screen of status, that's it. And it gets killed every time Sega updates the file-list. So it's not much of a workable patch, and not legal in any case.

And if you have installed the IME for Japanese Text Input so you can actually *type* ingame, you have, of course, the fonts necessary to read Japanese text, so it won't be boxes or weird symbols.

[el_mattso]

Ok. I might be kind of anoying, but do you have any idea where I can get the japanese font files?

P.S.
I'm thankfull to all of your answers that you posted this far
D.S.

There is. I can't tell you how to get it. It's against the rules. I personally don't use it, and I suggest you live with it in english.

[Arislan]

And again, as I said above, Eanae:

[el_mattso]

Can I play with my account on other clients on other computers? And is there a Linux version?

[rena-ko]

nope, no linux or mac version.
try to emulate windows, maybe it works.

you have to set up your client with your HL. it doesnt go like "what HL do you want to use today?".
go figure the rest or simply try it.

this is a server-side game. think for a second,n00by.


on other computers?

look above.


And is there a Linux version?


why the fuck would ST make a linux game?

[el_mattso]

Yes, emulating might work, I think that I will try it.

[Cynric]

The HL will be diredtly tied to your gameID. As long as you log in with your username and password, you can play your account on any computer with any (fully updated) client, and still have your characyters.

[el_mattso]

Can somebody please translate the menu that shows up
after that you pushed the enter button?

[Cynric]

White Menu:

Play
Website
Options
Credits
Quit

Ingame Main Menu:

Play (requires gameID)
Quit
Patch Server (use this often)
Enter gameID
gameID being used (not selectable)

[JohanCC]

The one with the title screen or before that?

The first screen after opening BB reads:

Game Start
Official Site
Options
Staff Roll (Credits)
Cancel (Quit)

Then, on the title screen (I can't read kanji very well, but I know what all the buttons do.):

Start Game (greyed until you enter your user ID and pass)
Quit Game
-Yes
-No
Patch Download
ID Login
-User ID
-Password
(Then in yellow it says your ID at bottom.)

Just give up please... Even if you COULD emulate the game you would need a fucking super computer to run it at even a half acceptable speed.

[el_mattso]

So you think that Windows is faster than Linux?

[Stan64]

If you are asking all these questions chanses are that you never ever will understand which libraries to setup with your favourite emulator to run a 3d game. You will also need good drivers and very good libraries.

Emulating is never 100%. And emulating larger things causes more errors and slowdowns. Of course the original platform is faster for that purpose than something that tries to emulate.

Give it up, please give it up.
You have no idea what you're talking about. No, I'm not saying that Windows is faster then Linux, or vice-versa, but EMULATION IS WHAT IS SLOW YOU DIPSHIT. Think how fast it takes to translate something from one language to another? Now, do that times billions times a second with a computer program (such as a Windows app being emulated on Linux) and THATS WHY HE SAID IT WOULD BE SLOW.

BECAUSE IT HAS TO TRANSLATE BILLIONS OF WINDOWS COMMANDS INTO SOMETHING LINUX CAN ACTUALLY USE!

I wouldn't cope an attitude, but your stubborness seems to amaze me.

[el_mattso]

I'm using windows my self. It was just that I have a friend that uses Linux and when I told him about the game he wandered if he could emulate it on Linux.

In theory you could, but you'd have to emulate DirectX and then Blue Burst... you'd get less then 1 FPS assuming perfect emulation.

You'd be better off finding an old PC with Windows on it and dedicate it to BB instead. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

[el_mattso]

I don't know what to do. I cant enter the signup-page. And I'm pretty shure that the FAQ doesn't say anythig about that.

[el_mattso]

Ok. I've fixed that problem. But now I have an another. My internet browser doesn't support japanese. What should I do? Do you guys kow any browser that do support japanese?

[Midnight]

IE:

Tools
Internet Options
Languages
Add
Choose Japanese
Move to top

Firefox:

Tools
Options
General
Languages
Select Japanese
Move to top, its done

[el_mattso]

Thanks man.

[el_mattso]

I got a new problem.
I wrote my E-mail adress twice and got the mail.
I checked the link and got to the page where I followed the tutorialhttp://www.pso-world.com/viewtopic.php?topic=82871&forum=1&8.
I wrote three diffrent names but when I wanted to proceed a message box poped up and it said something in japanese. It didn't contain any numbers (it did when I wrote something wrong, like to few letters or something like that). So I don't know what to do.

[Cynric]

Post a picture of the form and the error. That'll help us help you.

Is your name in kanji/kana? In the four boxes where you have to fill out your name, go to http://www.world.altavista.com and translate a name into the corresponding languages. Then copy/paste the example address it gives you into the text box, and fill out the rest of the form in half-width alphanumerical.

[el_mattso]

Ok. Thanks for the help. But I'm still very confused.
The tutorial says this and the FAQ says that and she says a third thing and you say a forth, so what about a new tutorial that contains evrything anyone need to register?
