If you are already familiar with TempAR, download the cheats by themselves [https://psp2i.wiki/files/PSP%20Cheat%20DB.7z here], and do not follow the instructions below, as you should already be familiar with how to set this up. Credits go to JamRules for the cheats contained in this package.
# Extract the '''seplugins''' folder to the PSP's root directory (e.g. D:/ or E:/ when connected to your PC)
# Boot PSP2i on your PSP, then press the PS Logo and R Button together to bring up the TempAR menu.
# Turn the cheats you want on/off as appropriate. Take care not to enable conflicting cheats.
# Press the '''♪ button''' until it displays '''[CHEATS ON]''' in the top right.

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, online multiplayer is not possible consistently from a PSP or PS Vita. You may still play on these systems, but if you wish to play online with others, you will be required to transfer your savefile to another system temporarily.

Installing the game

First, procure a copy of the game in ISO format.

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.

English patch

The original release thread for the English Patch by Weyu and JamRules can be found here.

Please note that a Windows PC will be required to install the English Patch!

What you will need:

  • English Patch - The english patch, contains a .xdelta file and a .pdf for installation by JamRules and Weyu.
  • xdelta - A program to apply the patch.
  1. Extract all files from PSPo2 Infinity English v1.7z into a folder on your computer.
  2. Extract all files from xdeltaUI.rar into a different folder on your computer.

  4. In the Apply Patch tab, click the first Open button and select the file PSPo2 Infinity English v1.xdelta. (This was extracted from PSPo2 Infinity English v1.7z)

  6. Click the ... button and choose where you would like the patched file to be saved.

A list of known missing items may be found on the list of downloadable content page. If you have any of this content and would like to provide it, please get in touch!

Game patches

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.

Below you may find a compilation of the various patches that are compatible with each platform.
