DreamPi 1.1 Released - with Dreamcast Now!

[kazade]

I thought I'd update this thread rather than starting a new one. DreamPi 1.1 is now released and this contains the Dreamcast Now! online service. More information here: http://blog.kazade.co.uk/2016/01/dreamp ... eased.html

Great news, you already deserve a place in the DC hall of heroes for all this

Excellent job sir! Now there's simply no excuse not to get your Dreamcast online!

would the dreampi work with null dc

Do i need a voltage simulator fot this setup?

yes you do since there is no power fed through the phone cable.

That is sad, i thought i finally found a simple no skills needed way to play dialup games.

You can use a phone line simulator such as the Viking DLE-200B to provide the voltage. That's what I'm doing. They can be a bit hard to find but it circumvents the need for soldering experience. Just search eBay for "phone line simulator" and you'll see quite a few results. I'd imagine just about any of them would provide the necessary voltage.

It's a lot simpler than it seems. I've never assembled one yet, but I know if I had the parts in front of me it'd take two minutes. Don't be intimidated, here's a proper diagram that I made. The guides and pictures of it look intimidating, but it's really simple. You don't even need to look at a guide just use the diagram. I think you can even use tape. PC, that'd be a good tutorial idea for you

I'm trying to build a voltage inducter but I can´t find a 450 ohm or 390 ohm resistor. Is there a value range that works?

Thanks
