I just recently found out you can still play all classic PS2 THPS games online using THPS.US custom servers. I dunno how many people still have a PS2, let alone networked, but I figured this is worth a shot. I love these two games to bits and would like to play online. I can host a server but not be on Facepunch at the same time, we'd have to schedule a set time to all try to go online.

[b]How to connect to THPS.US servers for THPS4:[/b]
[highlight]1.[/highlight] Insert your networking set-up disc/load up a game that has a built in network connection editor (EA games work best, but games like SOCOM have really good ones too.)
[highlight]2.[/highlight] Make a new connection setting titled "thps4" (or whatever you want) and change DNS settings to MANUAL.
[highlight]3.[/highlight] Set PRIMARY DNS to [b]99.198.122.113[/b] ; set SECONDARY DNS to [b]208.67.222.222[/b].
[highlight]4.[/highlight] Load up THPS4 and load your connection setting. Connect!

*these settings are different than for THPS4*
[highlight]1.[/highlight] Create new connection setting based on instructions from above, etc etc.
[highlight]2.[/highlight] Change DNS to manual and set PRIMARY DNS to [b]99.198.122.113[/b] and SECONDARY DNS to [b]0.0.0.0[/b]
[highlight]3.[/highlight] Load up THPS3, load your connection setting, and connect!\
I'll be home all week this week, we can plan something for pretty much any day this week. Hopefully a few of you still have working PS2s with the network adapter!
i think you're pretty much looking at tumbleweed here
THPS4 was freakin awesome though
ah man, I had one of these for my gamecube.
But yeah, like Rolond said, I doubt a lot of people are going to go through the trouble. Would be cool though...
I figured it was worth a shot anyway, I was really pumped to find out I could still get onto a server though. Even if there weren't any players playing.
Actually if the game is compatible with PCSX2 there shouldn't be a problem if you don't have a PS2 - it has networking built in.
Then if anyone can get their PCSX2 running with the game I'd be willing to play, just picked up THUG so now I've got THPS3, THPS4, THUG, and THAW. No THUG2 yet.
I just recently got THPS3, @FFStudios if you still are willing to I'll setup and play a round after 7 years of you waiting!
lol i don't think THPS.us servers are active any more but I'll look for a new server
