Not able to play online anymore

Post#1 » Sat Feb 18, 2023 6:06 am

Sooo, some weeks ago i wanted to do some online games with the usual folks here in the community, but i wasn't able to connect my dreamcast anymore

i was either getting a connection failed error, or a no dial tone error

i tried to configure the pi again but i've got the same exact results, also tried configuring the console again via the xdp browser, but had no luck either

considering both lights on the modem are on and that i was able to connect normally about two months ago, maybe my lvi broke again?

any hint?suggestions?i would really love to go back online...

Did you reflash the sd card? I had to do that at one point when it wasn’t working for me

Most likely a problem with voltage - if you're using a homemade battery one they die really quick
Dreamcast, it's still thinking.

Have you tried replacing the battery? I highly recommend getting a usb powered one if possible.

If both lights are on and it fails to connect something is wrong with your lvi.
