Phantasy
Star Online
Be
A Pal-Restore Other's TP!
To restore a friend's TP when you're online is rather easy(Though you have to
practice it, it takes a couple tries) Go to Techniques in your menu, and go to
Resta. When you are there press Up and A at the same time. It should make a
sound like Ryuker, instead of the usual Resta sound. If it works then your
friend's TP will shoot up like a balloon.

If you die at a boss character in PSO, here's a little trick to get back your
main weapon. Before you fight any boss, set a telepipe (or use the spell Ryuker
if you have it) close to the boss teleporter. Now, if you die fighting the boss,
go back to the main town, and take the telepipe you set back to the boss
teleporter. Go back to the boss character, locate where your weapon is and get
it. As long as you DON'T equip your main weapon, and keep it in your inventory
you'll keep it even if you die to the boss.
Quick
Charge With A Buddy
Here's a little trick if your bud's having a hard time trying to get his MAG's
Photon Blast charged quicker.
First, remove all attacks
and magic from your Customization menu.
Place Resta in the R
trigger customization menu and place it on the B button (the one with the blue
outline)
Place any spell like
Grants or Zonde on the other customization menu's B button.
Target a player and
quickly tap the R trigger and then the B button. You should cast whatever spell
you linked to the first customization menu's B button and hit the player with
it. You won't damage the player, but it will charge their MAG's Photon Blast.
It might take some time to master, but keep practicing with it and you'll do fine.
Screen
Capture Feature
To access the screenshot capture program on PSO you'll need to have an
additional Dreamcast controller plugged into port D of your Dreamcast, and an
empty VMU. The VMU has to be TOTALLY EMPTY because the screenshot you take using
the PSO capture program needs 195 blocks of space. Insert the VMU into
socket 2 of the DC pad plugged into port D. Now, start up Phantasy Star
Online and get into a game with a character - it doesn't matter if it's
offline or online. Now, to take a screenshot, take the DC pad plugged into port
D and press Start, A and X buttons together. If you've done everything properly,
a black screen should appear with some numbers counting down at the upper right
corner. Once the countdown ends, you'll revert back to your gameplay screen. You
now have the portrait saved on the VMU! Though we have yet to figure out if
there's any way to see the portrait on your Dreamcast, you can upload it through
email and send it to friends.
Special
Character Animations
If you're sick of your character just standing around like a motionless robot,
you can use this handy little trick if you have a keyboard to make your
character perform some different animations while you are in the lobby.
On your Dreamcast keyboard, hold down the "Alt" key and then press any of the function keys (F1 through F12) and you'll see a new animation. Now your character will have a little more life
