Star Wars Battlefront 2 server for PS2
I've decided (with mIKe's permission) to host a server on the PS2 version of Star Wars Battlefront 2. Anyone who owns a PS2 with internet capabilities and a copy of the game can play.
Here's a convenient banner for the server:

^The banner isn't really useful considering it says the server is always down. But, at least you now know the server's name.
Recently (in past the year), LucasArts released a patch for the game. This caused EVERYONE's game mess up. After downloading the patch, people would be prompted to restart their consoles. After restarting and loading up the game, they would be prompted to download and restart again and the cycle would go on forever. I think all of you would have this problem if you actually dusted off your PS2 and fired up this game, so I'll go ahead and post a fix.
The most common fix (for those who ACTUALLY found a fix) for people with the patch problem is simply to go into multiplayer settings and change their primary DNS to 63.144.111.10. This worked fine for me and several others, but I can't guarantee that it'll work for everyone.
I should also mention, when I did get past the patch error, I threw up my modded server and started playing only to discover that my mods no longer worked. I'm guessing this is the result of the patch. If I can find my way around this, I'll mod my files again, which makes the game much more interesting.
Other things that probably aren't relevant to your interests:
* Star Wars Battlefront 1 servers are dead. They died about a year ago.
* There are some rumours about the status of this game with LucasArts. Most of these rumors are actually passed in-game. The rumors typically involve when or why LucasArts would end support for the servers.
* There was once talk about "boot-legging" SWBF2 servers (and at the time SWBF1 servers) when they go down.

True, [mR] is more of a PC gaming clan. I may host it for PC if and when I buy it for PC. :dodgy:
Honestly, I'm expecting this to develop into a community within itself, much like our Minecraft Classic. When this does get going, it'll at least direct more people to our site.
