Post by Smokexz »

I need help I wanna connect online but I have BB... I want to know if I can connect my DC to my Laptop w/o the whole dial-up service. Please provide me with a proper working ISO on here =\

Oh i also have a Modem A 56k NTSC-U system...

Can I use Magic-Jack to get online btw?

I think I gave you good head start via PM.

No you can't use magic jack to get online.

Okay, I am attempting with XP as I see that it's much more complicated on 98, and I am already somewhat used to XP... god it's hard to find a good ISO now I have to construct one from some xp installer files.
Will keep you up to date on what I have done and if it worked. Will post guide if it works too.
EDIT: Still installin xp found a home basic copy, I will be also putting the torrent to home basic for this tutorial if it works, I need to crack tho cause only 30days til it asks me to register.

UPDATE: I have gotten Windows 98 to successfully install onto the virtual harddrive and it's working fine(regardless if my video drives don't wanna work) but a new issue has developed -_-

It cannot detect my built-in mode >.< I might need to buy an external modem, any ideas where I can get one that's voice/data so I don't have to wait for shipment? radioshack?

Oh and it HAS to be a USB modem I am on a laptop so :\

Be very careful which Dreamcast game you try. Some look for the dial tone while others blind dial.
