Ive been very egar to come back to the Dreamcast online community but i would need some support as im having no joy to connect back up using
dream pi for my first time. any support will be appreciated .
Any more details needed, ill be happy to apply.
My set is a pal dreamcast model using the rasberry pi 3 model all hooked as you see.
usb power, Ethernet, and a USB USB 2.0 Fax Modem, 56K Dial Up V.92 External Modem/Dongle/Adapter.
here is a link to what i purchased - usb modem link
Using the GDEMU i booted up the US web browser 2.0 ( not sure if i have to use the Pal dream key ? ) or if the settimng are different using a pal model. I apply the setting as reccomend by the Dream pi web site.
But this is where it gets stuck.
has any one been successful in using a dream pi on a pal console and what else is needed to get this working.
Thanks.

You need a line-voltage-inducer to generate a dialtone. PAL modem requires 18V minimum.
There are a few different forms of this device. One uses a battery; meanwhile, another can be installed and powered within the 56K modem. I have tried this design from Dragoncity17. It's beginner-friendly electrical work, but he also assembles if you're not interested in building yourself. Ships from France.

There's an "ugly" industrial design out there that I have been meaning to try. I will try to dig up the link later tonight.

This is the guide I had in mind. NOTE: Sorry I called it ugly. Any method to bring the DC to the internet is both a marvel and a beauty.
As seen here on the forums. or...
