Early Development
Development began with the release of a code loading method based on a hack for the game Phantasy Star Online. Upon going online PSO would contact a Sega server. By using a local DNS server under the owner's control, it was possible to make the Sega server's domain name resolve to a computer on an internal network and upload code to the GameCube using a program such as PSOload or PSUL (Later editions of PSOload had a DNS server built in).

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or development:
“Everyone in our culture wants to win a prize. Perhaps that is the grand lesson we have taken with us from kindergarten in the age of perversions of Dewey-style education: everyone gets a ribbon, and praise becomes a meaningless narcotic to soothe egoistic distemper.”
—Gerald Early (b. 1952)
“Fascism, the more it considers and observes the future and the development of humanity, quite apart from political considerations of the moment, believes neither in the possibility nor the utility of perpetual peace.”
—Benito Mussolini (1883–1945)
