I have the broadband adapter, not a DreamPi, I can go online with the XDP browser, but DC's web browser is so outdated that most websites (especially https) simply won't load. I have the pictures I want on my PC, but I can't find a single website that allows me to upload images to it which the DC browser supports.
GDrive / Flickr / Imgur / Photobucket, none of those work with XDP.
In the past I had a Geocities website, so I uploaded the images there, went online via 56k, press X+A on my pics and it was super easy to do. But these days I can't figure out how to make this possible. For example, AngelFire and Triopod still load on Dreamcast, but they're no longer free sites to use.
Are there any image websites that is compatible with a broadband adapter browser? That's my biggest hurdle at the moment, trying to figure that out. A simple HTML website would be amazing, but I can't find any free one that is compatible.
As for http://seganet.dreampipe.net, its not working for me as well, at least not on PC, is it only supposed to work on JGR built-in web browser? I created an account, but it won't let me log in.

Hey Chocoburger,
I have some experience in this area! First off: imgur does work! Right off the bat, it is the only web hosting service I have used (since Jial revived things), and I have saved like 10 images onto my VMUs. This thread you are in however is the initial thread that got me working with JGR. I did make another thread here: viewtopic.php?f=42&t=11623 Where Xiden helped me as well. And, please share your art in this thread: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=11765&start=10
I have never attempted this on BBA, nor do I know of anyone who has, so I am very exited to see. Yes, https will not work, but I know for a fact I got a few images saved onto my VMU on May 27, 2019 haha, so don't lose hope, and do not type in an "s". Idk what to say other than that, it is VERY frustrating at times, but I swear to god.... I have typed in the same URL and it doesn't work for like ten thousand attempts then suddenly... success. Be sure you are only typing in the direct image's URL as opposed to an imgur page's URL that has the image (and gallery thumbnails etc) on it.
It seems your only snag is getting the URL to load. You actually do not need to log in to seganet, dreampipe or anything. Just make sure your image follows this critrea: http://jetgrindradio.dreampipe.net/imagecreation.html boot your DC, connect to the internet, go to the in-game browser and type in your URL, save the image to your VMU (if it is an XLA size, you may need an empty VMU - I have made art that sadly was too big to even be saved on a VMU AT ALL =[ so be aware), and then select it from the garage.
The log in credentials you setup are required for uploading your pics into the online gallery for everyone to access and DL to their VMUs which (and I could be wrong here, idk) does not work. I have tried for so long and in light of actually having JGR images on my VMU, I just gave up. Yes, when you login on the Dreamcast itself, you are directed to a splash page thing that does not populate on PC, again only useful if the gallery worked. It would be a breakthrough gamechanger if the gallery portion of JGR was restored. And if anyone can do it RIGHT NOW, please explain when you have time.

As for seganet, you can create and account but the login on the page itself doesn't work yet. Once you create an account you can however login to jet set radio site and other dreampipe sites.
Ill talk with jial and see if he wants to move foward with account editing on seganet.
