Hi! My name's Claire and I have an extensive history with the Dreamcast. I got myself a DreamPi and set it up today so I'm ready to fulfill those teenage dreams I couldn't because my mom didn't want to pay for the sega net service. I'm waiting on some blank cd's to show up so I can get the workaround for PSOv2 to work, but I'm excited to be able to play that with a group. I bought a brand new sealed copy just for this! I also have (and am terrible at) Chu Chu Rocket, and I work at a retro game store with a bunch of the other online games available like Ooga Booga. I also have quake 3 but... I'm not too great with shooters and the default controls are horrible so I don't know if I'm quite ready for that online. I do have a keyboard on the way, at least.
I'm very interested in the DLC for games and browsing the old sites so I'd love it if someone knew whether or not I could just download the archive (I have one for rayman 2 and sonic adventure) and pop it on the pi's SD card and somehow 'dial' to the folder. If anyone could tell me how to do that or if it's even possible, I'd appreciate it.
At my game store, I've been promoting the DreamPi and highlighting some of the online games we have in stock and I've had a few takers. We have a lounge set up and do game nights tuesdays and fridays and we've been tossing around the idea of setting up a few dreamcasts with pi's and joining the group here online for something. Lots of hardware involved, but it would be a blast!
I also used to be into the game journalism and twitch streaming scenes so that might be something to showcase this site on someday. At the very least, I'll be streaming one of the group nights for PSO or something. I want to get the word out there. 6 billion's the goal, right? =D
