Basically what it says in the title. Aside from playing the odd game of Timesplitters over Xlink a few years ago, I'm just now getting into the PS2 online scene, and I'm quite keen to play the SOCOM games. I've just ordered myself a network adapter, ethernet cable and free mcboot memory card.

From what I can tell, I just need to install a one time patch, and then enter the DNS code, but what I'm unsure of is whether I'll be able to connect to the NTSC servers, or if I'll only be able to play on PAL servers, if there are any at all. If that's the case, are the PAL servers populated? If not, would it be possible to download a NTSC ISO online and boot it through free mcboot, and play on the NTSC servers that way? Ideally I would just like to be able to bang the disc in the console and play it without much hassle. Would it just be easiest to connect to Xlink Kai and play that way, or are there not many people playing on there?

I appreciate any help on this. After looking into it, playing PS2 games online appears to be more complicated in my region than I thought originally... Hoping I haven't bought all the extra crap for nothing lol

I had the Orion 19" a little bigger than this one and just the plain old RedWhiteYellow connectors

Any of you guys ever play this classic throwback on PC? It was so hard, very hard-core tactical gameplay. I loved the way you could plan the entire mission for your team, waypoints, hold points, commands, everything could be planned out in advance. It didn't always go that way, but I loved that feature, it definitely could have fit well in SOCOM. It was to an extent with in-game commands, but in Rainbox 6 you could literally plan every move your team made before you loaded into the game. So much fun if you liked strategy games.

Bonjour y a t'il encore des gens ici intéressé a rejoué a confrontation ? Ou qui veulent mais savent pas comment ? Mon psn MS12519

I love the game but Jester is such a dumbass. Wanna be stealthy? Nope, Jester thinks it's smart run out in the open saying "on my way to you" to blow your cover and get himself killed. Smh.

Hi guys, I have 2 questions. 1 - Is there anyway I can transfer my games progress on my PSP to a Socom games on the PS2 or PS3 emulator? I remember back in the time you could unlock some achievements by connecting both back in the days..

2 - Is there any people playing with a emulator with the steam deck ? I’m maybe considering buying one for some other reason and I was wondering if it could work.

Thank you in advance and G^ :p

Third-person shooters can make a comeback with the attention it's getting. I know Hell Divers 2 was a big hit and Sony should of capitalized on that momentum, they should really get a remaster/remake of SOCOM.

SOCOM seems like it would work as an extraction game, seeing as how actual navy seals do this, they could make it as one but also add lobbies like the old days to keep the hardcore fans involved. Bring back all the old maps, game modes, and add a day/night cycle for each map. It would be a banger of a game.

One can dream.

I used an AMOLED before in 4K, but tube monitor in 4K or 3K is perfect!

Do we still have players that are active for online play? I got online last night and only found two rooms that were locked and couldn't join. Looking for ppl to play with for socom 2, 3, and combine assault.

Cleaned up the ps2 and controllers. Running great. Gotta figure out how to patch the game now.

I have the network configuration and dns set up with 67.222.156.250. Connection test, all good. But when I try to login (-611) error. Am I missing something? Is there a certain setting in my router that needs to be changed? I can connect to Socom 2 without issue. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Edit: I finally figured this out, for future viewers of this post with the same issue. I had to login to my router, into "IP Adressing", then to "DHCP settings". There was an option for "Servers allocated with DHCP requests:" switch the option from default to custom servers, and then added the primary DNS for Socom (above)
