Batter Up! All-Star Baseball 2005 for PS2 Back Online!

[FreddY]

After quite a bit of tweaking by myself, All-Star Baseball 2005 is now back online for PS2!

How is this possible?

The online server for All-Star Baseball 2005 for PS2 remains online, maintained by GameSpy. Somewhere along the line, it seems that GameSpy removed the downloadable roster content for All-Star Baseball 2005 from their servers. This included a downloadable roster update which is required for connecting to the online lobby. What I have done is reproduced these files so that players are seamlessly able to connect to All-Star Baseball 2005 online!

Here are some images of me accessing All-Star Baseball 2005 online:

In order to play online, just set your Primary DNS Server in your PS2 Network Configuration to :

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.

If you have this game and would like to schedule a time to play, reply to this thread or post a topic over in the Game Scheduling section.

Be sure to spread the word.

See you on the Ballpark!

Not really interested in Sports games at all really. However, if I see this cheap somewhere in the shops I will consider buying it.
