[@DreamcasticChannel]

The broadband adapter is technically supported by 15 games but only the four you mentioned are currently playable online. As for players, people are online on PSO pretty much 24/7 with the weekend being the busiest (we had 20+ players last Saturday). The other games you'll most likely have to play at scheduled times (there are regular games several days a week for various games). Quake III Arena is played every Friday and usually has a couple full games.

Honestly, the most amazing thing about this is that the Quake 3 Dreamcast servers are still online after 22 years. Major props to the person maintaining it! I'd like to imagine it's some forgotten Win98 computer in a closet at ID software, that nobody knows is still plugged into their network.

I also worked at Babbages in those days, but that day I was off(lucky me). I bought the Dreamcast an extra controller a VMU (memory card), and Blue Stinger.

Really surprised nobody has reverse engineered the broadband adapter to make it more accessible, particularly as Dreamcast homebrew is still going strong.

[@MikeDest]

In 2003 some students at my university had some homemade broadband adapter they were showing off, but i don’t know if they ever made their work public. They had it working in some Dreamcast Linux distro and not in any games at that point. That reminds me about how companies actually had security alerts to be aware of Dreamcast consoles being plugged into networks. Mostly because at the time they were unassuming and people didn’t realize what they could do with them.

[@garystinten9339]

I was going to say the exact same thing.. Don't sell the shell, more just a swap out board to fit in the modem shell.

[@DreamcasticChannel]

The simple answer is that it's just not worth it. It would be a massive undertaking and for only 4 games. If you just go with DreamPi on the other hand, you have 24 games that you can play online. The Japan-exclusive Capcom games are currently being worked on as well which also only support the modem (that's 15+ games right there that you're losing out on if you only have a BBA).

[@novelezra]

It is surprising considering how much you can mod a DC. I modded mine and it seriously removes like 80% of the internals

[@somebonehead]

@@DreamcasticChannel So is the broadband adapter not backwards compatible with the modem at all? I always thought the case was that it just didn't make older games faster, and that the BBA would just be limited to modem speeds.

[@RetroGameSpacko]

In 1999 my PC was stolen out of a car (I was at a LAN Party before and didnt get it out) I had to use the 56K Modem on the Dreamcast to buy used PC parts from ebay because we didn't have another Internet connection at home... so at this point I was pretty happy that the DC had this feature.

[@anon_y_mousse]

That's both a really sad and really cool story. Did you have the mouse and keyboard too or did you have to navigate with the controller only? Also where did you live at the time?

[@AldenDoble]

What triggers me is the VMU concept could still be implemented today but instead with apps for your smartphone. GTA5 attempted to do it at launch with the ifruit app, but it just didn't offer enough to the experience. I feel like if the right console game developer played the right cards, they could easily make some big money out of this concept, and yet none of them have even attempted it 😔

[@tomokolovecraft3792]

@@AldenDoble Nintendo had the gba game link cable for the GameCube. Very few games used it, but when they did it was the best.

I never owned a Dreamcast of my own, but I knew a guy who did and he loved it. We would play Power Stone and Unreal Tournament quite often and I found it to be an enjoyable console.

Thanks for the informative video and stay safe out there!

1 correction, DC and GC cannot play with each other but they can communicate in the lobby. But either way it's great to see more videos shouting out DC and GC PSO, the communities are always growing and despite the low amount of players you see online I can guarantee you it's pretty easy to find people to play with if you join that servers respective Discord server. Both Sylverant and Schtack have very welcoming communities.

Quake 3 might have been the first console game that allowed user created mods because the game allowed you to create your own dedicated servers. Back in the day when the DC was still thriving, I found a few PC mods that worked with little modifications on the dedicated servers, such as freeze tag and instagib. It was pretty funny when ppl joined the servers and were blown away by all new game types.

[@SlainByTheWire]

The Dreamcast was my first experience on the internet outside of a school computer. There was no computer at home, but I had a Dreamcast with the standard 56k modem, a long home telephone cable, free calls after 6pm for 1 hour, and 2 questions; "are you gonna be using the phone?" and "can I go in the internet?" Ah glorious! I'm online, what shall I do today?

I remember going online with the Dreamcast back in the day with dial up. What a horrific experience playing NBA 2K2. It was almost like a turn based strategy game. Every few seconds the game would pause, calculate you and the other player's movements, advance your players rapidly, unpause, let you move again, and repeat ad nauseum). This was after the Dreamcast was basically dead and they allowed you to use Sega Net free for a few months. Still was kind of cool for me at the time, since I had never played a console game online.

[@TravisStamper]

[@SylverantPSO]

It never ceases to amaze even me how many people are still playing PSO online to this day. I can understand the sentiment though, considering how much time I've devoted to the game in one way or another. Thanks a lot for the shout out and covering getting online with the Dreamcast. I would like to make one minor correction, though, if I may. Sylverant doesn't allow players on Dreamcast and Gamecube to actually play in teams together for various reasons (the rebalancing that occurred between the two versions has a lot to do with it). They can see each other online in the lobby, though. Sylverant does allow the Dreamcast and early PC versions to play together with one another, though as the early PC version is pretty much a direct port of Version 2 of PSO from the Dreamcast.

The broadband adapter for GameCube was one of the best ways to backup GameCube games back in the day, too.. I bought one for that reason.

Glad I still have my BBA from launch, but have to point out that PSO ver 1.0 did not support broadband in North America. At the time of release broadband was only supported on the Japanese release of 1.0. But you could essentially get a rip of the Japanese version and there were guides out there to use that disc to configure your network setting that would allow you to use the BBA with the American release after configuring was done.

[@__1201]

Absolutely correct. I was going to post this and just saw your comment. I had to use the NTSC-J version to get this working on my broadband connection at home with my BBA. I remember being so pissed when I found out that it wasn't officially compatible, but thankfully I found the workaround. Community members also made a self-bootable unofficial configuration disk to setup the broadband capabilities later on as well so you didn't need the NTSC-J disk.

I love seeing Dreamcast continued games and now broadband support to this day. The fact that servers are still online and working is a community love affair and it’s great. DC was ahead of its time with a fantastic launch and one of the best library of games in its cut short lifespan.

One minor correction, when you save your dial-up settings it doesn't save to the VMU, rather a tiny bit of flash storage inside the Dreamcast itself. This little bit of flash storage is one of the ways PSO linked your account to your Dreamcast back in the day for security purposes.

By implode you mean, actually be tolerable again.

[@mozamboni]

MVG's mask slipped a little on that one.

Yo Yogensha long time no speak

It's awesome for a machine that this month turns 24 to see there are people still using it online. I love my DC and my Saturn.

"...Twitter is about to implode..." 🙄

[@TrueNacho]

@@user-A-png Well, I also think it's an oversimplification and ignorant reaction all of the rage behind the announced changes behind Twitter but I like MVG's content and he rarely make comments regarding his political or ideological views, don't see why I need to unsubscribe just for one comment. Besides that. ¿What is a "tist"? English is not my main language and I probably don't live in the same region as you.

[@enjoylife6374]

"it's pointless, but it works' love that line

[@mozamboni]

"Given Twitter is about to implode" - wut?

[@johnbillings5260]

That bit about PSO was so meta since BBA + PSO was how the dumps were done (or a null modem cable to serial transfer over at a painful rate).

[@wolvenar]

LOL despite all the legacy media BS.Twitter isn't likely "imploding".

[@Highwiind]

Twitter employees no longer being able to censor their political opposition = imploding according to ModernSoyGamer lel

Hell I think it's pretty awesome too the fact that you play a Sega Dreamcast online in 2022 is pretty amazing it just won't die and I love to see it's resilience shine. Long live the Dreamcast. Ill never forget how heartbroken I was when I found out that Sega was done with consoles when everything about the Dreamcast was done perfectly unlike the ill-fated 32 x Sega CD I owned all of these systems too so I was completely heartbroken when I found out about Sega leaving the Dreamcast in the past forever only lasted a Lil over a year and it sold record numbers at first so there's that too

[@velavideoentertainment]

First

[@BulletproofKuloodporny]

You are first congratulations

[@ericdanielski4802]

Absolutely.

[@mrgame4]

I freaking love this. Now i need a dreamcast and the adapter to play with

[@ericlunianga3145]

"given that twitter is about to implode" lol you weebs are so soft

[@Azu1l]

One thing really interesting is that Q3 Arena in dreamcast had a built-in Wallhack. If you typed "r_znear 30" in the console (If I remember correctly), which was only accessible to those wich had keyboard, it would not drawn near objects, like the gun model and the nearest wall. So if you touched the wall, it became invisible. There was no way to prevent someone from using this code. But it was easy detectable in spectator mod, seeing someone walking touching the walls

[@MMOchAForPrez]

Jesus christ not you complaining about Twitter too

[@RipeStories]

Awesome video again. The dreamcast is one of the greatest consoles of all time. Long live SEGA!

[@cosmicstar98]

amazing video once again mvg!

[@GeddyRC]

I had no idea you could still play DC online and the fact that I now know this makes me extradinarily happy. Heck, they kill game servers now after 4-5 years. The fact someone's still "keeping the lights on" warms my heart.

[@hitnrun66]

Dude your intro song is so hype lol. Very cool!

[@segajukebox]

Amazing that the servers are still online! The Dreamcast still rocks and always be one of the most innovative consoles ever made! Thanks for this episode!
