Slightly irrelevant but here in Australia we can get genuine dial up internet for $1 a month, unlimited hours/dls.

Ive got it (as well as a bba), works just like the old days haha

Okay guys another question it seems like the internal battery of my Dreamcast is dead (have had to reset the clock each Time) I've played around 45 minutes straight is that long enough to determine if the battery just needs to recharge or is faulty? And if faulty anyway for me to play seaman without replacing it?

That is somewhat normal. Dreamcast are normally really loud. It sits up there with the original PS2 and slim PS3. If it's abnormally loud hen you may want to resort to this.

That can happen if it was well used. This is a really nice mod because not only that it replaces the battery with a new one but it also doesn't make you whip out the soldering iron again if the battery needs to be replaced again.
