If we could play Alien Front Online on the BBA that would be something. That would be another BBA game to the list and I bet it would make more people play the game. The game would get notice more and I bet that would add more players to game night and maybe get a BBA. I'm not sure if reverse engineer is the right word or needed for this, I don't know if this is something that might be easier to bring online then Bomberman/Outtrigger. But I am pretty sure people would love to have this game support the BBA. It would be cool if the modem players and broadband players can connect with each other. I don't know if a separate version would need to be made like a BBA only Alien Front Online or if BBA can be added in the regular version

AFO already runs great on dial up, don´t see much of a need for bba support, i really doubt a bba AFO would be the thing that´s mgoing to make people spent the money for a BBA.

Because it would make more people play the game and play with both modem and broadband users. A lot of people would probably play this game if it had broadband support, megavolt85 said it's possible so why not? Also I know people that buy the BBA just to play PSO and Quake 3 so if there was another fun game to play with the BBA I'm sure those people would be happy playing those games and just those

i don´t see why more people would play the game when it has bba support? that makes no sense to me. very few active online players are exclusively on bba. almost everytim i play the game we get tons of people joining.

Well one it's easier and like I said. I know people that buy BBA's just to play PSO and Quake 3 because they like the game and want the best connection. There's a post on here for the BBA owner count (viewtopic.php?t=18136) 33 right now and 6 people who don't own one that want one. I don't think that's very few like you said

It's actually harder to go online with the bba, with all the extra setup while the pi does everything automatic. I would also assume that most of those 33 bba owners which i am one of already play AFO. Look at pod and toy racer, very few people that own bba even bother with it for those games. AFO BBA support would be nice, but i don't think it's something high priority.

It's bad enough to bootdisc imports, but too I gotta pop in the browser disc every time I choose dial or ether

Not for this lol

I swap one cord for PS5, PS3 x2, x360, and then one more cord for PS2, GC, Xbox. Will I add another victim
