Dreamcast Now/DreamPi: New Features You Would Like To See In A Update

Post by Sonic1994DC »

Dreamcast Now is a really get service that lets you see other DreamcastPi users that are online currently. I was thinking if it were to get an update with new features what features would you like to see for it? Some features come to mind like basic ones on current gen consoles like having a friend list. Being able to send them messages or chat with them. Also seeing what state they live in and maybe having a about section like what Dreamcast game they like the most, how long they have been gaming on the Dreamcast, and having their interest and their location where they live. Just coming up with some idea's but I think these would be nice little new features to add in a update to Dreamcast Now. What features would you like if the DreamPi had new features added to it?

Are you thinking all this would be accessible in the Dreamcast/XDP browser? I think that'd be pretty cool.

I was actually wondering if it would make sense to have the communication go through openvpn etc instead of needing a port forward. This would allow those of us with multiple DCs to play online with each other.
