Looking to get your Sega Dreamcast Online?

In this video I showcase features about DreamPi and the Dreamcast Broadband Adapter (BBA) and what is needed if you're thinking about getting your Dreamcast Online ready.

DreamPi is a piece of software (created by Luke Benstead) used for a RaspberryPi to connect the Dreamcast Online, via a dial up connection, this allows you to play Dreamcast games which have Online functionality which have been restored.

Broadband Adapter is a separate piece of hardware that connects where the modem port would be on the Dreamcast console, this enables you to connect via ethernet cable to your high speed internet connection.

- Quake 3 Arena (NTSC)

Hints & Tips from the community:

"Sometimes you need to save the isp settings in slot 1+2. With PAL and the US browser planet web. For some games its important to do that." - mickschen (Discord)

"Also for BBA, sometimes you need to clear some isp setting slots in flash memory that are only editable with Japanese software. The most common/ only use for that is getting the master server to show up on quake when using a japanese BBA." - Hawkzero & mother_b (Discord)
