Make a Dreamcast WiFi connection?
I've recently come into possession of the much coveted Dreamcast Broadband Adapter (don't ask me how much this cost!) and while I was hooking it up I had a thought. If I found a suitable wireless network adapter, is it technically possible to make my Dreamcast connect to the internet via WiFi? I'm not computer genius by any means, but the logic here seems sound enough to me but I was wondering if there are any unseen roadblocks I might be heading towards that someone can point out before I waste more money buying the necessary parts. Any help would be appreciated.

Buy a Linksys WRT54G, the older style with the antennae, and then go here: http://www.geeksaresexy.net/2007/10/02/ ... -xbox-360/

Its price is ridiculous..some 3rd party company really should make a new one for a fraction of price of the official one.IcKy99 wrote:now if i could only get a broadband adapter....
I've got no signature.

Because there's SO much demand that creating a new manufacturing line for a niche product would really lower the price... Sarcasm aside, it ain't gonna happen, for many reasons, financial included.

we can dream! my only hope is to stumble upon a unknowing sucker with a dreamcast with a BBA and offer him no more than $40 for the whole systemdeathclaw wrote:Its price is ridiculous..some 3rd party company really should make a new one for a fraction of price of the official one.IcKy99 wrote:now if i could only get a broadband adapter....
Re: Make a Dreamcast WiFi connection?
how much do you think it would cost for a company who manufactures similar things to put out a limited run of dreamcast BBAs? obviously it will never happen. Say they had about 500 units bought and paid for, how much would it cost per unit, with them obviously taking their necessary profit
