Please note that currently, while online multiplayer is possible from a PSP or PS Vita, it is not consistently possible to play with players on PPSSPP, and therefore we do not recommend attempting to play online multiplayer on official hardware. As such, there will be no guides on how to connect online with your consoles, and we recommend transferring your savefile to another system temporarily whenever you wish to play multiplayer.
==Installing the game==
==Installing the game==
First, procure a copy of the game in ISO format.
: ''Main article: [[Installation]]''
The ''Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity Wiki'' will not be providing an ISO of the game for you, you will be required to provide it yourself.
The above article will go into how to install the English Patch if desired, along with setting up the game on your system of choice. Instructions on how to convert your save data from the US and EU versions will also be here.
===English patch===

<p style="color:red">Please note that a Windows PC will be required to install the English Patch!</p>

What you will need:
==Modifications==
* [https://psp2i.wiki/files/PSP2i%20DLC.7z All downloadable content]* - All downloadable content in a neat package. Includes the translated content provided by JamRules and Weyu.
: ''Main article: [[Modifications]]''
:: 1. Extract the '''PSP''' folder in the '''PSP2i DLC.7z''' archive to the following locations depending on your platform:
The ''Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity'' community has provided various enhancements and edits to improve the gameplay experience, ranging from 60 FPS patches, the ability to play online-only missions in ad hoc multiplayer, improved high-definition textures, and more. Note that many of these enhancements are done through cheat codes to modify the game's memory, however, none of these cheats will impact the game negatively. The wiki will never provide tools or codes to impact the gameplay directly.
::: '''PSP''': Root directory (i.e. D:/ or E:/ when your PSP is connected to your PC)
::: '''PS Vita''': ux0:/pspemu/
::: '''Windows PC''': /memstick/ inside your PPSSPP directory.
:: 2. You may be asked if you would like to overwrite files. Click '''Yes''' if so.
All downloadable content* is now installed. Follow the directions below to access it in-game.
==Setting up multiplayer==
: ''Main article: [[Setting up multiplayer]]''
While the ''Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity'' infrastructure servers are long gone, it is still people to play online with others through P2P networking through emulators. Currently, the ''PSP2i Wiki'' recommends multiplayer through PPSSPP rather than official hardware (PSP and PS Vita), as a majority of players play on emulators now. It is very difficult to crossplay with emulators and hardware at the moment.
Due to this, we will only be recommending methods that are easy to set up on PPSSPP and can easily crossplay with PPSSPP.
'''Missions'''
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
All extra missions are found under the following categories:
* Tactical Missions → Clad 6
* Trade Missions
* Challenge Missions
All downloadable missions will be indicated by a green DL sign on the right-hand side. The missions available will depend on whether you are in Story Mode or Multi Mode.
Downloadable Infinity Missions must be registered at the Code Counter before they can be played. The Code Counter is the terminal found at the rear of the player's ship.
To add them into the game:
# Access the '''Code Counter'''
# Select '''Register Code'''
# Select '''Register DL Mission'''
# Choose the download mission you wish to add. If the download mission has already been imported, it will be greyed out.
# Choose '''Yes''' when asked to register the disc
The imported missions will now display under the '''Infinity Missions''' category at the Mission Counter.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content"><p style="color:red">Remember: All downloadable items will be '''untranslated'''!</p>
The downloaded items must be imported into the game before they can be accessed. '''Please note that importing any items will lengthen the initial load times into the game significantly''', but will be normal after you have loaded into Clad 6.
To import items:
# On the title menu, choose '''Import'''
# On the import menu, choose '''Import Downloaded Items'''
# Choose which category of items you would like to import (it may take a while to read the information)
# Choose '''Select Items to Import''', and select which items you would like to import. They will be highlighted in purple when selected.
# After choosing the items you wish to import, back out of the item list, then choose '''Importing''' and choose '''Yes''' to the following prompt. The items will be sent to your '''shared storage''' and the game will save.
# Repeat steps 3-5 for any other item categories you wish to import.
Items may be imported as many times as you would like, so do not worry if you remove the items in-game later.
