    Just a quick thought, I know when the game "Amplitude" went offline they redirected the DNS to SOCOM I. I know on Bobzent.info he used to have a DNS server for Amplitude he discontinued support but I would like to see if it could be used to resurrect the SOCOM I server? I would love to see if someone could get in contact with him, as I do not have Facebook but I do know he has a page. Thanks guys! http://bobzent.info/

    its amazing the very thing that people complained about when socom was alive is the very thing that may bring it back to life I think I could be happy with a CA private server I would definitely rather socom 2 myself but ultimately I support everything you guys do. you are the exact reason why I am doing what I'm doing granted I wish I had just a piece of one of your brains in my head lol. keep up the good work. I follow you guys around like a crazy ex you are all the reason I even started exploring programming.

    updates?

    Hey guys,

    First and foremost, thank you to everyone is helping resurrect the Socom I/II online servers. For the time being, myself and others have been steadily growing the number of players who actively play on xLink, which we can all agree is far from perfect. There is a community of 2,075 members on Facebook who are excited for what you guys are doing. Hats off you all!

    I just wanted to ask if there were any new updates regarding this project? Any breakthroughs, milestones, roadblocks o recent developments that you can share with the community?

    Is there anything that the community can do to help accelerate your progress? Will you accept donations? Missing resources/skill sets? We will help anyway that we can.

    Cheers!
    - Ali

    I think this should constitute as a small bit of progress towards being able to achieve the main goal here. Since I don't want to port over everything I have logged on 1.4 patch, I now have something even better. Completely dumped all the patch files in their natural, non-encrypted forms. Since I am not really sure if it would be a copy right violation, I'll post the code used instead of posting the decrypted files. With the Patch Loader mod, non-encrypted patches can be loaded on any console (no more "created on another console" b.s. error). This also allows the much more efficient route of creating a game mod to enable online play again without depending as heavily on a cheat device.

    Code written for the process:

    Its pretty cool to see you guys still focused on this project! Good for you guys. And Harry, I'm glad to see you still focused on a passion like this.
    Long time no see Stealth. I haven't heard from any of the bluefrost guys in years, probably 10 years at this point. We meet up a few times a year to hack the hell out of SOCOM for old times sake. You can contact me via skype @harrysix2. We are trying to put out a new code video each year to keep up with the SOCOM tradition. Here's the 2015 and 2016 videos:

    We are well aware of this, plus that's not what the end goal is. The problem he was having was the network plugin just wasn't working.

    We discovered the issue. Apparently WinPCap (that is required for the plugin to work) has an issue with connecting back to the same machine. I have to load my server application on a different host in order to make a connection.

    By the way, if anyone understands this method better, having a bit of a set back with producing an online server for SOCOM: Combined Assault. Looking to see if anyone has any prior knowledge about this packet in particular. It gets sent out when requesting the Universe server listings, and doesn't seem to like me very much if I try to bypass the function that does this...

    Thankfully I still have my Virtual Gateway application I wrote for the game years ago, which includes the vast majority of the game's packet system mapped out. It would be very easy to build onto it and have a fully functional game server, if I can manage to get around this "SCERT Root Authority" request... Any takers?

    It does work, but I promise you there is no way to get it work without lagging with over 2 people in a match.

    1up, antix told me you had pcsx2 working with network connections. Mind hitting me up on skype? I'm having the worlds most difficult time with getting it to successfully access a network...

    It seems that with the emulator (at least) it could very well be possible to run this patched if map packs were desired. Not entirely sure it would make it any easier in the long run but it could be an option. I need to do more testing with it and see if I am right in that it could just be copied over because I don't think the BIOS that I currently have is from my latest PS2 that I originally had the patch on.

    Thanks for the support Lazy Bastard.
