Virtual-On: Let's gather to play it!

Post by Erik_Twice »

There must be a way to play Virtual-On online. And if there is, why not check it out? It's a game I really want to try and it would be cool to play it with you guys.

Who wants to sign up? Anyone knows how to do it? :lol:

As far as I know, the only version that works online is the 360 one.

Can't you play it online using a Dreamcast or Naomi emulator?

Dreamcast was link cable only everywhere but Japan. The Japanese version had online, but I have not heard of anyone making that work.

Can't the Saturn version be played online with a NetLink and a dial-up ISP? I'm pretty sure NetZero still offers 10 free hours of dial-up a month...

The NetLink doesn't use dial up internet. It uses direct calling (telephony). All you need is two folks with land lines, keeping long distance charges in mind.

Also, you need the NetLink version of the game which I believe only released in a typical jewel case (as part of the NetLink & console bundle).
