Two Dreamcast on one DreamPi

I am fairly certain the answer is no, but through I would ask anyways.

I just purchased a second Dreamcast for the house, and wanted to know if I could have two Dreamcast feed of one DreamPi. I figure I have to get another dell modem, but would the DreamPi direct traffic according if two Dreamcast were playing at the same time?

Figured this would save $50 on having to buy another Raspberry Pi.

Thanks guys!

Hmmmm, this is certainly a very interesting concept.
Wish I could try it out myself, but I don't have the cash to buy another modem right now.
All I can say is, if you have the resources try it out.
:)

you can get a telephone spliter so two jacks come out the modem so you can plug two phone cables into the one modem. Iv done this with my dreamcast and saturn and seem to work good

The phone splitter would only allow one system to connect at a time. I wanted the ability to have both systems online at the same time.

I have had a friend over with his Dreamcast and DreamPi on my wireless network and we connected fine at the same time. We both were playing PSO, so since it was the same server, it may not have been a big deal.

Two dc''s wouldnt be able to share 1 pi due to how the software is written
