Hello all,
Im new here, but have been aware of the Dreamcast Online community keeping the system alive and online as ever, for a long time now.
I just got my HIT-0400 Broadband Adapter and plugged it into the modem to test out some connection stuff(just pinging and connecting to hosted bot servers in Quake 3). I did mess around on my Linux machine to try to host my own server but it didnt connect after deploying(probably port or firewall). Wasnt high on my list anyway. I also frequently see people download saves and files to VMU which is pretty simple for me.
What I wanted to know is what else I could tinker with using the BBA specifically? I ask because most people here are using Dreampie and the software for that. Do I need that stuff still to connect to Phantasy Star Online or is the BBA good enough? Can I use Dreampie software using the BBA? I wanted to check out PSO but dont plan to get hooked on it, just weekend stuff probably. Anything else this device can do? Sorry if these answers are posted elsewhere. A lot of the neighboring forums are no longer around like they were 1-3 years ago.
TLDR: Just got a BBA and looking for main uses for it, compared to Dreampie.
