if your around this weekend you wont be, and if your on during the evenings GMT then Kireek is normally around. I intend to be around this weekend for a game in the mornings GMT

is there a broadband thing u can get for dreamcast? cause i dont have dial up >.<

You have a few options. You can either buy a Dreamcast broadband adapter (BBA) on ebay, set up a dial-in server with your PC using its 56k modem to switch over dial up to broadband (PC-DC Server), or do the previous with an analog 56k router. The broadband adapter works with Web Browser, Quake III Arena, PSO, and the Doom port. Dial up works with Web Browser, Quake III Arena, PSO, StarLancer, 4x4 Evolution, and Maximum Pool. The BBA is easiest to set up and will give you better latency in games, but will cost you $100+. Whereas, PC-DC server will cost you almost nothing. There are a bunch of guides you can check out on the site. Here are two I made:

PC-DC Dial-in server: http://dreamcast-talk.com/forum/viewtop ... f=3&t=2427

Analog 56k router Dial-in server: http://dreamcast-talk.com/forum/viewtop ... f=3&t=3122

There are other PC-DC guides as well which use other methods to connect such as the Windows 98 PC-DC guide.

PLEASE READ:
For anyone using the auto-connect PSO disc, Codebreaker codes found on this website, or Dr.DNS to connect to PSO you will not be able to connect currently because the hostname which those connection methods direct to has expired. If you are using BlueCrab's PSO patcher you will still be able to connect just fine, this doesn't effect that. You can find links to an updated auto-connect disc below which will allow you to connect again:

part2: http://www.mediafire.com/?v1rcxrw876ixl02
part3: http://www.mediafire.com/?27ruyr0n70d9h4t

Alternatively if you use Codebreaker to connect please use the Sylverant codebreaker codes instead which are found here: http://sylverant.net/connecting-to-sylverant/

If you are using Dr.DNS you will need to use a different connection method for the time being.

For the record, my auto-connect discs also still work as another option.

hi there, I'm sure the guys here have already provided plenty of helpful info so I just thought I'd weigh in with my video that shows how to successfully get your BBA connected and working with PSO v2 PAL

if you pause the video at the right moments and refer to the links in the description it should give you some helpful info

hope it helps

Um... I think you meant to post this one:

Your post shows a video of how to set up the 32X.

shizen!!! yes that was the one, doh doh doh lol I corrected it

is the Sylverant server down? Was hoping to play some PSO for 9/9, but I get logged into "the world of PSO" and then after some loading am told that that connection failed and that the server may be undergoing maintenance.

No, everything should be working just fine. I saw quite a few people online each of the times I checked earlier in the day. Also, I just checked now and was able to get on without any problems.
