Hey guys, good to see many of you are keeping the retro scene alive. I thought I'd share a guide I've been working on. Many of your are Dreamcast fans, and with this guide you can get your Dreamcast online without buying an expensive BBA, or a wonky Dial-up ISP.

Just plug into your PC through a modem and share the connection. Simple right? :p

Once you get online, join me for a game of PSO will ya!

Yeah this looks like an excellent project to do, I was hoping to find some other option besides the expensive adapter

I have pso, i have a bba, where do you play?

Edit:
When i tried online-consoles years ago they required a certain amount of activity before permission was granted, but the forum was too quiet to generate the required activity in a reasonable amount of time.

Let me know where the racketboy guys hangout i'll go there. No i don't cheat.

Hi gennss,

There are few different servers hanging around. I keep a list of friends in Jabber and just organize a game every so often.
