 Welcome back everyone. Today we're going to be addressing a question I've gotten a few times in the past regarding Dragon Quest 9. So if you didn't know, Dragon Quest 9, which came out around 10 years ago, originally launched with an online option, online multiplayer options and online accessibility options. So basically in the original copy, in the original version of Dragon Quest 9, you could access something called the DQ VC, which was a sort of online shop that allowed you to get exclusive items every week for Dragon Quest 9. And additionally, you could download special maps, quests, and a lot of cool stuff, which gave the game a lot of replayability in the post game. Unfortunately, Nintendo shut down the servers for the Nintendo DS a few years ago, and ever since that happened, this entire portion of Dragon Quest 9 has been inaccessible for everyone. It's been pretty much impossible to play the game online and get the full experience for Dragon Quest 9. And a lot of people have asked me, how can I still access the special content without the servers being down? And today I'm going to show you how. There is a little workaround that I figured out with the help of some people online, and I'm going to show you how to do it right now. So let's jump right in. All right, the first thing we need to do, of course, is bring out the system that we're going to be playing Dragon Quest 9 on. So this right here is a piece of ancient technology from the olden days that we used to play games on. And we're going to be playing the Dragon Quest 9 on this. And we're going to do it right on the original console. It's not going to be through an emulator or anything crazy like that. So you can do this on your Nintendo DS, your Nintendo DS Lite, your 3DS, all that stuff. So yeah, I've got the DS Lite right here. It's my old DS Lite from childhood. And we're going to play this thing. So here we go. Got Dragon Quest 9 booting up right now. And the first step is coming up. So I'm just going to skip past all the logos at the beginning and the cut scenes. So getting past that. The first thing you want to do, right? This is my brother's copy, actually. He has over 200 hours put into the game. You go down to this option right here. And you, of course, press A. This is configured DS Wi-Fi settings. So you, of course, go here. You have to have a new connection, right? And in order for this to work, you actually have to have no security on your Wi-Fi. You can't have a Wi-Fi password. Otherwise, your DS will not be able to connect to the Internet. It's a pretty old system. So you have to turn off the Wi-Fi somehow, figure out how to turn off the Wi-Fi password and have no password on your Wi-Fi. That's the only way to get the DS to connect online. So as you can see, I have the Wi-Fi password turned off and I'm able to connect with my DS Lite. And there you have it. So testing the connection and it should work. There we go. All right, so we're connected to the Internet. That's the first step, which is pretty difficult on its own nowadays. Next thing you have to do is go into the actual thing. You tap the Ready button, right? Of the connection you just created. So what we do is actually we scroll down. You got to scroll down to the bottom. Now, you see this auto-obtain DNS? You want to turn auto-obtain DNS off. Press No. And then you go to primary DNS and you say Edit. So now you need to type in the exact numbers I'm typing in right here. You need to type in, okay, 1, 7, 2, okay, 0, 1, 0, 4. It's 1, 0, 4. And there's 88, 2, 3, 7. So 1, 7, 2, 1, 0, 4, 88, 2, 3, 7. You got to type that in and you have to make sure that it's this exact number for it to work. And that should be just about it, what you need to do. That's really literally it. That's what this is what you do to get to get the DS Online working for Dragon Quest 9. So we're going to go back right to the main menu. I'm going to go back in just a second. So I'm going to master all this. Come on. It should work. All right, so continue your adventure. Now, in order to access the VC, you need to go to the City's Stormway, which is where I am actually right now. You go to Stormway and you want to go to the Pud, Patty's Pub. So we head over if I can remember where the heck it is. Nope, not there. That's embarrassing. Patty's Pub is right here. So we're going to go to the inn here and what you want to do, right? You want to go to this inn. Let's go inside here. And there's a woman here you need to talk to. So on the far, I'm going to zoom in a little bit. So the woman with the, the blonde woman with the green bow, you got to talk to her. So we talked to her, Selma. Hello, welcome to DQVC, the shopping service, right? So this is where we test to see if it works. So I connected the Nintendo Wi-Fi and let's see if this thing works. Let's see if we can access it. Come on. Downloading data? Oh, it's working. Look at that. And it's successfully downloaded. So the DQVC, it works. You see that? It works in 2020. It is the year 2020, 10 years after Dragon Quest 9 came out and it worked. Let's check out the shop. All right, venture logs saved successfully. There it is. That's the DQVC shop. So there's some new stuff here too. There's like some skeleton, jelly riser, Santa Claus outfit you know where. It's all there. So isn't that cool? So there's a, there's a method to access all this crazy stuff now in 2020 on your DS and our Nintendo DS. You can access the Dragon Quest online store. And this doesn't just give you these clothes. It gives you a lot of cool stuff. It gives you things like quests. It gives you actual in guests. So old characters from the Dragon Quest series can actually visit your in and they'll have their own room and you can talk to them and they'll give you stuff depending on when you talk to them. Like if you talked to them on your birthday, they give you something. Okay, I went to the wrong floor. We'll go visit an old Dragon Quest character. I'll show you how it is. Yeah, this is one of the one of the royal suites, I think. But there's nobody here right now. So there's, but there's a lot of cool stuff you can unlock with the DQVC. And without that, it actually does limit a lot of features that Dragon Quest 9 has. So, you know, I hope this helps people enjoy the game. People who haven't played it back then who haven't played it 10 years ago or whatever. Me and my siblings got Dragon Quest 9 when we were in like elementary school or like middle school. And we put a crap out of it. So we have all these different rooms, right? With all the different characters, these old legacy Dragon Quest characters, you can visit them and talk to them. Pretty cool. So who do we want to talk to today? I'd say we want to maybe go to Elena's room. Let's see what's going up. All right, there she is. And let's talk to her. Now I travel for to make stronger in preparation of next tournament. I become more stronger every day. She's more English every day. Okay, and we're exhausted a lot of the equipment that she can give us. This is cool though. So I'd like to see other people try to do this and see if it works because I'm really interested in knowing if this method works properly or not. So yeah, if this helped you out, please let me know. I want to know what you guys did with this. And yeah, I'll see you next time.
