Well, the options menu isn't that great :\ but the resolution for the game starts at 640x480, there are a few other options you can lower.  
 
I'll try out Rashly and the SFFT28 and see what happens (never even knew about those) I appreciate the info/help that has been given so far. Thanks

edit: I forgot to mention I am indeed on XP

Well, no real demo version. It is free to play, the main game can be downloaded off fileplanet.com and the main site is http://psobb.com

For drivers, I've tried Amigamerlin 3.1 R1  and I tried that MesaFX at the same time (assuming I set them up correctly, I did follow the directions so I think they were set up right). I couldn't find any info on other drivers though. The game loads screen starts to load then just crashes with no errors.

Hey all, I've never really tried to get an unsupported game to work before, but I am wanting to get Phantasy Star Online to work on my old computer - its running on a 1ghz celeron with a voodoo 3 2000 and 512mb ram.

 The game is pretty old, although a new version is in beta right now and that is what i am mainly interested in. It has the same graphics as the old one though.

Pretty much all I know is it has a min. req. of a 32mb video card, the rest of the computer is above the min spec.

Anyway, I am hoping someone could give me some info on what to start with or even if it is possible?  I apologize if this post doesn't make much sense, but I am pretty lost when it comes to this, and I have been reading the forums for a bit now, yet I could use someone to help.

Thanks
