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.

==Modifications==
The ''Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity'' community has provided various enhancements and edits to improve the 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.

PPSSPP renders with a custom font, called Roboto Condensed, rather than the original PSP fonts. This can make a lot of the text placement ingame seem strange, as all games (and the english patch) are designed with the original PSP font in mind.
You can fix this by downloading [https://psp2i.wiki/files/PSP%20Font.7z this archive], then extracting the contents to your PPSSPP directory.

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.

<div class="mw-collapsible-content">What you need:
* [https://download.zerotier.com/dist/ZeroTier%20One.msi Zero Tier One] - Zero Tier One is a virtual network management program, similar to Hamachi. It allows people to join a network and connect to each other seamlessly without requiring router setups, port forwarding, or other such confiruations. We recommend this program currently as it is free and has crossplay with mobile devices running PPSSPP.
# Install '''Zero Tier One''' on your system.
# The program will be in the system tray in the bottom right; right click it and click '''Open Control Panel'''.
# In the window that comes up, enter the string '''b6079f73c6cd58c5''' in the bottom box and click '''Join Network'''.
# You should now see the '''PSP2i''' network come up -- click it and you will see a lot of extra information, including '''Managed IPs'''.
Now that you are connected to the PSP2i network, you will need to do some setup in PPSSPP:
# Change your settings on the page to the following:
::: '''Enable networking/WLAN''': On
::: '''Change MAC Address''': Make sure to click this at least once to get a random MAC Address
::: '''Enable built-in PRO ad hoc server''': On
You are now fully setup to play multiplayer with other players! When going to play with other players, follow the below steps:
# Decide who will host the game.
# In PPSSPP networking settings, all players must set '''Change PRO ad hoc server IP address''' to the Zero Tier Managed IP of the host (without the /16).
# Make sure that all players are using the same '''port offset''' as well; 1100 is recommended for compatibility with mobile devices.
# Restart PPSSPP to make sure the settings change.
# In-game, go to '''Multi Mode''' and form/join party as necessary, and you should all be good to go!

Welcome to Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity!
This page serves as a guide to get you set up playing the game on a system of your choice, along with instructions on how to install various patches, install the downloadable content, setup multiplayer, and where to begin once you start playing the game.
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.
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.
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.
