Re: [NEW] BBA Mode for DreamPi

No offense, but this sounds a bit backwards. I have ethernet connectivity to all of my devices. If the DreamPi can act as a router, what's stopping you from connecting the BBA and DreamPi to the same network switch and setting your BBA's gateway to the IP of the DreamPi? Why the need for WiFi?Scrivani wrote: ↑Fri Jun 13, 2025 8:13 pmanti wrote: ↑Thu Jun 12, 2025 5:06 pm I'm not sure if I'm understanding this correctly. I have a DreamPi+Modem and BBA both connected to my network via Ethernet. How would the DreamPi know that my BBA is gaming online if I'm using an upstream DNS server on my BBA (46.101.91.123) and not pointing my BBA's DNS to the DreamPi?
I'll put together a short explanatory guide:
1) You must have a DreamPi/RaspberryPi configured for Wi-Fi.
2) An RJ45 cable (CAT5 or CAT5E) must connect the RaspberryPi's Ethernet port to the BBA.
3) On the RaspberryPi command line, you must execute the activation command:
./bba_mode.sh
4) Then choose option 0 and press enter.
5) On the Dreamcast, make sure that the browser settings for "Planet Web" 3.0 (or similar that works with BBA) your BBA is in DHCP, or if you want to specify it, it should be as follows:
Static IP Config
Dreamcast IP - 192.168.2.2
Netmask - 255.255.255.0
Gateway - 192.168.2.1
DNS1 - 192.168.2.1
6) Connect a BBA Game or Browser
That's it, the Dreampi/RaspberryPi will be the "internet source" to BBA, with the addition of managing the Dreamcast Now, it will open a DCNOW session and recognize the game.
After restarting the raspberryPi, everything goes back to normal and you will be able to connect to a game via dial-up.
After following this guide, you will probably understand the main guide better, in the first post.
