This really should be posted on Dreamcastlive.net

Look what it says now about a PC-DC server..

1. "Complicated to set up" ( yes this method is a bit more complicated to setup but flashing an SD card for the pi is complicated as well)

2. "Can take multiple attempts to connect when playing Windows CE games like Starlancer Next Tetris, Maximum Pool, PBA Tour Bowling 2001, and 4×4 Evolution"
(Just simply not true, it all works right away)

3. "Requires a PC to be on at all times and can be a pain to get connected" ( yes it does require a PC to be on but it's not any more of a pain then connecting a dreampi to a wifi network)

4. "Does not work with Alien Front Online or the NBA/NFL/NCAA games" ( again this is simply not true it all works fine)

Let's send some messages to owners of dreamcastlive.net and show them this amazing software.

Wow! How did I miss all of this!?

Nice work! This is a really cool idea!

I'd love to spend time adding accounts to dreamcast now (and moving away from MAC address as an identifier) but currently all my time is focussed on Driving Strikers, Simulant, GLdc etc.

Maybe soon though...

I love it! Thank you!

Is there a way to get the normal POD Icon ?
It just shows the Monaco/Pod Icon in my Tests.

Oh nice you guys liked!

And thank you kazade.



So, about the POD image, is kinda of random to be honest. Maybe if Kazade could see the exact DNS request for those difference, then i can adjust.

Autonomous Dreamcast Now - Raspberry Version

*No impact for stardard dreampi (modem) function, they will work separately.

Files
-dreampi_now.py
-dreampi_now.ksh

Unzip destination:
/home/pi/dreampi/

./dreampi_now.ksh

To back to normal dreampi use, you just need to reboot pi or select option "18".
