Kind of off topic but....I have a dsl connection that comes through my only phone line. I'm guessing there is no way to get dial up on top of that is there? Seeing as the broadband adapters are $200 on ebay lol

Re: Introducing Dreampipe portal for planetweb etc
You're better off looking into pc-dc. Someone's making a raspberry pi image that allows you to plug in the sd card and usb modem, connect your phone line and ethernet, then turn on the pi. You likely need a voltage inducer though, no matter what revision modem you have. The cost for said method should be $35-$50

Re: Introducing Dreampipe portal for planetweb etc
As long as you can still use the phone line as a phone line then you should be able to get dialup

Re: Introducing Dreampipe portal for planetweb etc
Didn't have but 20 or so minutes to test it. Using BBA and Planet Web 3.0 the site will sometimes load and I can click around but it freezes the Dreamcast up sooner or later, sometimes right after the site loads. When I get more time ill test some other browsers and pc-dc connection. Keep the awesome projects coming.

Re: Introducing Dreampipe portal for planetweb etc
Not sure if you're using legit disc but the cdi image on the net of PW3.0 is pretty unstable. I tested with planetweb 2.0 legit disc and everything works great. Someone here is working on a stable planetweb 3.0 updated to todays relevancy but who knows when that will be done

Re: Introducing Dreampipe portal for planetweb etc
Very cool.
The reason the pw 3.0 cdi is unstable is because it has a protection just like pso for dc.
Files must remain intact and the correct size or the iso runs buggy.
Like I said b4...
Eventually when I get around to it, I will mod the pw 3.0 iso for dreampipe.
Keep in mind it might be awhile from now though.
Either way good work on this project dan1234.

Re: Introducing Dreampipe portal for planetweb etc
Thanks, didn't mean to imply any rush
It would be really cool to let the community interact using the actual system. Whether its dreampipe, the browser you're working on, or making it a thing to go on irc regularly
I thought e-mail discussions were a cool idea for that and to give the e-mail client some use. But sending mail doesn't work so i need to look into compatible providers/servers

Re: Introducing Dreampipe portal for planetweb etc
I'm getting an error trying to download from the VMU library. What web browser would you say is the best for getting on the site?
Edit: It seems to be the VMU files with incomplete pictures that did not load to the left of their titles. It tries to search the GD-Rom for it.
Update. After switching to XDP LE with planetweb 2.6x on it I can confirm with VMU files are working good. Site is awesome, love it. Only feature I wish existed is a speed test feature to test pc-dc in real-time but I imagine that would be nearly impossible to code to make work with DC these days.
