There is a man working on making every area in eqoa. it took him about a day to do these areas. they are still not done of course but man, i hope this will turn into a pc port of eqoa

Uhh...can't you reverse engineer the "client"?

Emulators of consoles exist, what is the problem exactly?

Can a programmer explain the hurdles to me to get a playstation game reversed?

it is the server hardware and programming they seem to be having a problem with from what i gather. they have to rebuild it.

EQOA had different areas than regular EQ?

EQOA had different areas than regular EQ?

It was 99% different, with only a basis on the classic world.

Like Everfrost, Freeport, etc type stuff, but different. I'd go so far as to say, it was entirely different with not much similarity.

Kelethin looked ridiculous on it and put me off trying it when it was actually new.

its no more the same as eq is to eq 2. They both have the same names and stuff but it just looks different. EQOA does have quite a cult following though.

It's all the people who didn't have computers and experience EQ live when it was happening. Console kids are the worst.

Seems like there's someone actively working on an emu for it:

I don't get the impression they have live captures from EQOA so it'll be a cast iron bitch to figure out what the server was doing and reverse engineer it.

No live captures at all, thats why its such a pita to figure out. Someone did post a few videos using the save state and a cheat program to spawn in monsters though.

Yeah this is like the Vanguard emulator...minus even more data...that's like negative data.
