Online report

First attempt: Failure - Ryzen 5 with Virtual Box 7.0

Live CD image fails to boot completely boot using Virtual Box. BVot options screen shows, then crashes when loading live CD (1st option). I have successfully created different VMs for Debian 11 as a test. md5 check is good on the Live CD image, but fails after choosing boot option every time.

Hardware comments:
  • Modem is Conexant RD02-D400 | NW147
  • Line voltage generator kit from dragoncity17, assembled by me.
  • +XDP browser disc works as good as it ever has. (Past experience with dialup and BBA).
  • -Need to complete Dreamcast Now registration.
  • --Raspberry Pi 2/3/4 are near impossible to acquire in 2022 without wasting money.

I just want to send a BIG THANK YOU to megavolt85 for making this possible without a RaspberryPI! Got PSO v2 to load in the 1st try. Now I can finally enjoy the rest of the games that are not compatible with the BBA... But first I want to test PSO Ep. I & II Trial (on the gamecube) with this setup. Wish me luck...

I was successfully able to connect with the gamecube JP ver. 1.1 of PSO Ep. I & II and US PSO Ep. I & II Plus. No e-mail needed.
The problem is that I can't get the gamecube PSO Network Edition to connect, I always get this message: "Detected modem hang up, going back to listening".

So im running it on an old pc that has a pci connexant modem. Someone on reddit told me that there's a chance that it may work with a pci modem, as long as there are linux drivers for it. My modem does have linux drivers and ive installed them. If i run the script without having the drivers installed im getting a different error. In any case, im assuming the modem is not supported and i need a usb one.
