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.

Modifications

Main article: Modifications

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.

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.

Windows PC

What you need:

• 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.

1. Install Zero Tier One on your system.
2. The program will be in the system tray in the bottom right; right click it and click Open Control Panel.
3. In the window that comes up, enter the string b6079f73c6cd58c5 in the bottom box and click Join Network.
4. 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:

1. In PPSSPP, click Game settings → More settings → Networking.
2. 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:

1. Decide who will host the game.
2. 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).
3. Make sure that all players are using the same port offset as well; 1100 is recommended for compatibility with mobile devices.
4. Restart PPSSPP to make sure the settings change.
5. In-game, go to Multi Mode and form/join party as necessary, and you should all be good to go!

Beginner guides

Coming soon. In the meantime, it is recommended that you get familiar with the game by playing Story Mode and clearing both Episode 1 and 2. This will unlock all the missions for you, grant full access to Clad 6's shop wares, and give you a solid foot hold on the game with decent progress to boot!
