Using Dreamcast Pasport variations

Post#1 » Sun Mar 03, 2024 2:50 pm

Hello, I recently got a BBA and use the Broadband passport to browse the internet on the Dreamcast.

I have a few other Dreamcast Pasport discs (Toyota, Hello Kitty) is there any way to use these also?
So far I can only get online with the Broadband pasport disc.

Try in the Dreamcast settings to set the DNS to 46.101.91.123 You have a Toyota Disc? Id love to see that!

The browser part functions as well as it always has. I flashed my dialup settings using PlanetWeb browser, and dialup connection still works using Dream Passport 1/2/3 with the Dreampi setup. I think the DP browsers really shine with their 3D animations during connection.

Dream Passport is more than jus the browser, it's a suite with Ch@b chat service, email client, and Dreamcall (ISAO service, think of myspace. I don't think these services are friendly to setup nowadays; but if there's demand, some madlad will deliver. I should mention that Dream Passport has a PC version of the client, too.

Now. These browsers would be much more appealing if there was more lightweight web content to browse. I'm making strides on a personal project that is yet to be revealed. Stay tuned.

DP3 also includes DreamFlyer Lite. You can add stickers to your emails.

Dream Passport Premier - GD includes Windows and mac versions of software, too. The extra features are Ch@b and Dreamcall. A fun gem that I discovered on my web project is this: a net idol show (partially sponsored by isao.net) uses Dreamcall to talk to viewers. Girls Net Club

It's not ready for a formal announcement, but I'm restoring Japanese web pages now. These old pages are lightweight with mostly small images. They are great for DC browsing. Check it out. shinjitsunayu.me

Yeah I tried again but I think it only works with the dial up modem. I got it fairly cheap so it was nice to add to my collection. And I can still browse the internet with the Broadband passport disc.

Most versions of Dream Passport only support the modem. I think the only standalone versions that support the BBA are Broadband Passport and Dream Passport Premier.
Besides those, some 2001 Japanese releases included an updated version of Dream Passport 3 with both modem and BBA support. SA2, PSOV2, Outtrigger, SegaKara are the ones I know of.
PSOV1 predates this newer DP3 and will launch either modem-only DP3 or Broadband Passport depending on which adapter you're using.
