A [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1W8RP1Q_ElSvoUfrVPZXX7gVO0hrTHmKY/view?usp=sharing '''"Ready to play" pack'''] circulates within communities for ease of access. This comes with a "100 % save file" for the North American version that has everything needed for online battles '''except the game itself''', PPSSPP emulator version 1.12.3 and two different desktop clients for online connectivity: Radmin and ZeroTier One. If you do not trust the source, all the components can be acquired separately.

* Game version from the same region. A European version (''ULES01505'') cannot connect with an American version (''ULUS10566'') and so on. The Discord community uses the American version (ULUS10566).
=== EXP to HP / Bravery / EX / Assist Bonuses ===
 
EXP to HP/BRV/EX/AST bonuses per 1000 HP damage dealt (both online players being at Lv100, no EXP / calendar bonuses):
* If you are unsure about the game version, run it on the emulator and look at the top of the emulator window, it will display the identifed game's name and it's region ID.
 
* HP: 10% conversion (+100 HP)
* Disable firewalls on your computer.
* BRV: 10% conversion (+100 BRV)
 
* EX: 0.1% conversion (+1.0% EX)
* The emulator's "confirm" button set to X in the emulator's settings. Differing confirm buttons will cause a match to end via a desynchronisation in online play when performing EX Bursts with Gilgamesh, Gabranth, Tifa and other characters whose EX Bursts are influenced by this setting.
* AST: 0.3% conversion (+3.0% AST; 100% means a full gauge with two bars)
 
* In PPSSPP's networking settings, ensure that the port offset is set to 5000.
Multipliers for Quick Battle CPU strength:
 
* Minimal to Low: no multipliers
* If you have other VPN programs like Hamachi or Radmin, they may interfere with each other when used in conjunction with Zero Tier One.
* Average: +20% EXP
 
* High (Equipment):  +40% EXP
* Some people may fail to connect to one another if they have an empty name on their friend card in the game. Please make sure to put a name on your friend card.
* High (Actions): +80% EXP
 
* Very High: +120% EXP
== Radmin / Hamachi ==
* Maximum: +140% EXP
 
Radmin is currently the primary way of connecting online with players in the Discord community. Both Radmin and Hamachi function very similiarly and thus the instructions will be shared for both programs.
So for example, if you fight a CPU enemy with Maximum strength and deal 1,000 HP damage to them, you'll get 240 HP back.
 
</tabber>
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tji38SFI4jo '''Video tutorial (with Hamachi)''']. Same principles, but the program is different.
 
* Install Radmin and follow the instructions by the installer
* Start Radmin and press the big red button to "turn on" online connectivity
* All participating players must be under the same network in order to connect with each other.
* To create a network, move your cursor to the Network field near the top of Radmin, and click "Create network"
* Input a name and a password for the network and share the credentials with any relevant players
* To join a network, move your cursor to the Network field near the top of Radmin, click "Join network" and input the credentials
* Players should now be in the same network. Radmin shows all users within the network, their name and their designated Radmin IP address used for connecting on PPSSPP.
 
=== PPSSPP networking settings (shared) ===
Players should do the following steps regardless of whether they will act as a host for online sessions or not.
 
Under the "Networking" tab in the PPSSPP settings, do the following:
 
* Enable networking/WLAN
* Click on the "Change MAC address" a couple times to avoid a duplicate address from the tournament pack
* Port offset should be set to 5000. Never change this.
 
=== PPSSPP networking settings (host) ===
The following steps should be '''only be done''' by the player who will act as a host. Only one host is required. This is necessary so that players can connect with the host or other players.
 
Under the "Networking" tab in the emulator's settings, do the following:
 
* Enable built-in PRO ad hoc server
* Insert your '''Radmin IP''' into the "Change PRO ad hoc server IP address"
* Enter an online lobby or group battle menu to initiate online on your emulator.
* Now that online has been activated, let the other player(s) know when you are in a lobby or have a group battle room ready. Communicate your Radmin IP to other player(s) if necessary.
 
=== PPSSPP networking settings (join) ===
The following steps should be done by players who do not act as a host for the session.
 
* Insert the host's Radmin IP into the "Change PRO ad hoc server IP address".
* Wait for the host to enter the online lobby selection, an online lobby itself (e.g. Cornelia or Zanarkand) or create a group battle room before attempting to join.
* If playing in group battle, every other participant must use the same IP address the host provides.
 
== ZeroTier One ==
ZeroTier One is an alternative to Radmin or Hamachi, but may yield different results in connectivity and connection stability. If the aforementioned options fail, try this program. Note that it is possible they can conflict with ZeroTier One, however.
 
* Follow the prompts on the screen to install the program successfully.
* Run the program, copy and paste 8056c2e21c000001 and click "Join". You should be part of the "earth.zerotier.net" server now.
* You can check your Zero Tier IP at the bottom right corner of the program, under the "Managed IPs" row. There may be a "/[number]" (e.g /7) at the end of the IP, '''this must not be included when adding it to PPSSP's networking settings.'''
* ZTO will run in the background, you do not have to worry about it any further once it's on.
* Follow the host / join procedures explained above.
 
== How to use your own save file==
Find your own save file in the emulator's directory (if it is already there), ppsspp/memstick/PSP/SAVEDATA. American version save file is named "ULUS10566GameDataxx" (xx being numbers), European version save is named "ULES01505GameDataxx" etc. Copy that, paste it into the tournament pack's save file directory: ppsspp/memstick/PSP/SAVEDATA.
