New Support Forum

Post by Impulse »

This new Support Forum is where all existing and future "help" topics should go. If you need technical help for the Dreamcast console, accessories and games, ask it here. Online support will still be offered in the Online Forum.

An example of what should go in this new Forum: "My DC isn't working, help!"

This new Forum was created to alleviate the clutter of questions in the other forums and to help reduce the amount of duplicate questions that have been answered in the past.

I will begin moving all appropriate existing topics here asap.

I don't mean to nitpick, but you need to *either* forward ports *or* DMZ your Dreamcast for AFO to work. =)

DMZ Your Dreamcasts IP address ;) When using a Dreampi it always ends in 98

So for example it could be 192.168.1.98

I have some burnt backup games that are already decoded. They play fine on my DC, I can make copies that also play fine, but three other DC that I tried them on won't play them. Anybody have any idea why?
