Awesome lol! I hope Warp approves too! :D

I'm waiting for Warp to mail me a copy of the enhanced PSO disc. For whatever reason I can't burn a copy that works. I've tried with different computers, 3 different burning programs, 2 different brands of CD-r and a few different downloads of the Enhanced PSO disc and all I ever manage to get is the disc to boot as an audio CD. Crappy luck I guess.

But I've got the Dreamcast BBA and haven't been able to test it out yet as I've had trouble getting a 3.O browser and can't get the PSO disc to work. I'll be really hyped up to finally see a Dreamcast on;ine after 10 years of waiting!

I got my BBA for $100 shipped :D The only good thing about this "economic down turn" is people selling off their collections. :D Sucks for them, awesome for me! I've added some great stuff to my collection for about %25 cheaper than I would have 2 years ago.

I got my DC BBA for $83. =P

I don't have a DC keyboard, though... I bought the GameCube version of PSO maybe 3 or 4 years ago, along with a keyboard and GC BBA for that, fully expecting to be playing it on the GC. I know the keyboard will plug into several different consoles, but I don't remember the DC being one of them. I'll have to find it.

They really didn't make an adapter to for GC to DC support.

I got my BBA for $30 back when it was out in 2001, and I also have the keyboard and the mouse.

Warp I was wondering if you can mail me a burned copy of PSO2, when I burn it the game doesn't seem to burn correctly so I'm wondering if you can send me a copy.

It wouldn't be a GC to DC converter... it was a PS/2 keyboard adapter that would let you plug into GameCube and USB and maybe something else. I think it also came with an adapter to plug it into an original Xbox. It was a SharkBoard. One day it fell on the floor and some of the plastic splintered, so it has sharp edges now, but it still works.

I'll have to get myself either a DC keyboard or an adapter.

As for sending you a copy... do you mean the Enhanced version? I'm already doing that for Jerry, and he's reimbursing me for the packaging and shipping costs once it's sent via PayPal. I could do it a second time. I guess just PM me your address and I'll send it out this week.

Ah ok, yeah I never heard of the sharkboard, sorry.

But yeah a DC keyboard is a great investment. You can pick them up cheap off ebay. Idk if the listing is still going but there was one on ebay with the keyboard and mouse for $25 and I think with free shipping. If not try and find the Typing of The Dead bundle, its great to have and the game is awesome.

Yeah the enhanced version sorry and I can reimburse you as well for the shipping and packaging. I'll pm you soon.

@ Derek- Dude I think I can probably find you a reasonably priced BBA. I can let you know in a few days if I did or didn't.
