Need help with coding my Dreamcast website

Post by Zornickel »

So I wanted to make my own website that would work on the Dreamcast browser (dreamkey 3.0). And i managed to get a simple one online. But it is impossible for me to use pictures. It just shows this stupid checkbox that I'm tired of seeing. Yes, the pics have the right resolution, file type and stuff. But it never worked. The only time it worked was when i used my PC as a server using Apache. So it might be the host sites in using ? (Drivetoweb and infinityfree)

Could someone who has made websites for the Dreamcast before help me? Is there some stupid tiny thing I need to watch out for when doing websites ?

Feel free to ask questions. I'm slowly loosing my mind here

Hi there. Thank you so much for your answer. I've done some more research and i think it has something to do with the CORS settings. I can't change the CORS settings over drivetoweb so I will have to sub to some web hosting service. At least I think so. I can still send you a link to the website if you want. And what do you mean with mark up files ?

.html files. Hostgator is dc friendly if your current provider is wonky. Or if you have a site ready I can upload in a subdomain

You'll need to zip it up and send it as a private message. Should be an option for attachments below in the full editor view
