There is none. Same reason why no clients prior to Titanium work (expect unique case of 6.2 which only a handful of people ever had), as well why not every client after Titanium works with Emu, and only then - very specific patch versions of specific clients.

The only effective way to get a specific client to work with Emu is to collect LIVE data from SOE server at exactly the time when SOE is using that client patch. Obviously since SOE keeps upgrading their clients and servers, if no data was collected for specific raw client or patch version - no Emulation of server connection can be build.

So unless someone figures a whole new way to reverse engineer Trilogy era server packets and OP codes - there will never be any client in use older than Titanium.

There have been attempts in the past to do it (see clasiceq project), but they got nothing playable/working to show after more than 7 years of work.

So, thank Titanium, as its the only widely available client that actually still has all of the old zones that were later rewamped, and no longer available in later clients.

The people who invented the first space ships were brilliant. That doesn't mean anybody should actually want to use them 200 years later. Ideas are limited by means of execution. Everquest has amazing ideas that need to be completely reworked in their execution, in order for classic Everquest as it was envisioned to actually exist and continue to be relevant as things have evolved.
