I just got a dreamcast a couple weeks ago myself. My first real games are coming in the mail shortly (Crazy Taxi and Jet Grind Radio). I also played Primitive Nightmare (homebrew) since I have no real games for it here yet. I won't be pirating games even though it is easy.

I bought my Dreamcast day and date 9/9/99. I'll never forget that day. I was also lucky enough to rent one when Hollywood Video was demoing them in the summer of '99. Never before or since was the graphical leap as pronounced from generation to generation as it was with the Dreamcast compared to 32/64-bit. Playing that first level in Sonic Adventure, I couldn't believe how detailed the textures were and how fast everything moved. Such a beautiful, beautiful console.
I don't get to play it nearly as much as I'd like to these days, but it still is hooked up to my TV for the odd online match of Phantasy Star Online. It's nice to see the system is still finding an audience, though. Enjoy it, guys!

It really isn't that hard to do - it's just hard to get all the right hardware so that it works in the first place. Not all games support connecting via that method, though. Only the ones that connect to some central server have the ability to work like that... assuming someone has a server for that game running.Isaac [GER] wrote:Using Dial-Up for the Netlink works perfectly fine! But trying to use it with a Dreamcast gave me a big headache. Trying to recreate a DC Server using Win98SE is pretty hard acrually. Still I think Dial-Up should never be shut down
Direct-dial games, on the other hand are just that - direct dial. The Dreamcast has been programmed to tolerate latency much better than the Saturn's NetLink, so it usually works fine over digital phone services.
I have my Saturns, I have some of my games, I have a RasPi. Gotta put all this stuff together!
