While it would certainly be possible to do something like this, it's really a question of "is it worth it?". 99% of players are using DreamPi now. Anyone using a broadband adapter would be playing PSO or Quake and we already have player counts for those. Sure, some play Toy Racer but it's not nearly as popular as the other two games.

I can't really speak for Shuouma of course but I'm sure his priority at the moment is reviving more games. If one day we have every game back online (and in turn more games that support the BBA) then it might be worth looking at something like this.
Yes once we get more games online (the ones that use the bba) and the price goes down for the bba this can become a reality. I would like to see this happen because I have a bba also just so you can see more people playing online the dreamcast with bba/other set up, I think we will get some if not one new bba games online this year.........looking at you POD:Speed Zone

Wouldn't hold my breath on this one. If the BBA supported more than 3 games (4 including POD in the future) and BBA's were easier/cheaper to get, Im sure this would've been Implemented by now. Who knows what the future holds though because all these theories are technically possible.
