DreamPi Plus V1.9.5.2 (2025) My Upgrades to The Dreamcast Online Experience.

Im having the oddest issue with this, swapped from a regular image to this, it boots, connects, does the dial up sound, claims to connect but then nothing works.

Any ideas why? The regular image worked spot on, but this one makes the DC act like theres no internet.

(It shows up on my local network and DC Now Config works)

Very cool, thanks for this. I can't wait to give it a go!

What raspberry Pi model are you using?

[AdeC]

Pi3B+

Its strange, the default image from https://dreamcastlive.net/ works perfectly
The older version of this from https://dreamcast-talk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=13675 connects (cant get dial up sounds to work though)

But the version in this thread has working dial up sounds, but acts like the DNS doesnt work :/

Thanks for testing! unfortunately I’m going out of town for a week or so and won’t have time to troubleshoot. I’ll ask a friend to help in the meantime.

Cheers, fwiw I got sound and connection working on https://dreamcast-talk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=13675

The line to play the sound was missing from Dreampi.py even though the sound was in /home/pi/

I still can't get the newer one to work whatever I do, which is a shame as the older one doesn't have DreamcastNow

Seems like this image is resolving DNS differently?
