Universal Split Screen - Host local server

[LordDarkNe0]

Hey, I just was wondering if I could host my own server locally to use https://universalsplitscreen.github.io/, because one day clemetine project will be discontinued eventually, and I want to play having control of our saves with friends locally in my house, like it was possible in the gamecube version of original PSO. Is there a way?

Hey,

I don't think this is possible.
Universalsplitscreen looks like, after a quick view on it, a tool to host two instances of each game and relay controller input to each instance.
For making those two instances play together it, relies on the game having a local network feature.
AFAIK Phantasy Star Universe does have that feature, otherwise we could've played with friends without a server solution.

The People at clementine have worked very hard and long to reverse engineer the Server for PSU.
So we should support this project and show gratitude for them working on it and offering it to us.

Universal split screen allows to use online servers too, so that's why I wanted to create my own private server. I hope if clementine closes one day it becomes open source project, I hope that years of continous work never will be trashed, because this represents the best example of videogame preservation, online games must be preservated too.
