I knew that PS1 can do it, and I'll do that eventually but it just seems... too easy. I really would love the DC to do it over a dial up as it's really a better machine than the PS1. Don't get me wrong, the PS1 is a great machine and I have three of them.
But I like the DC much better, from the inside out, just to look at and I like the controller better. And it appears nobody has done this before, and for the life of me I can't figure out why not!
I mean, have modem will travel used to be the motto for computers before higher speed connections became available.
@Gamevet, The Broadband adapter is too expensive for me, call me cheap-o if you must. I'm tough like that;) Plus I have a perfectly working modem to use, so want to use it.
I thought Chu-Chu Rocket was direct dial or something like that?
Yeah, Chu Chu Rocket came out long before they had a working online service (which they didn't set up until 2001, when Dreamcast was already cancelled)
If you find a way to make it work please share with us here!
A friend and I may work on it (instead of just me) so anything I do will be definitely known! Also, it looks like there will be maybe one game and whatever dialer program on a disk.
Hopefully this won't take too long. But who knows, got a lot goign on. I'll let everyone know for sure.
There's your solution right there: just play Chu Chu Rocket. It's a great game!Quote:

Yeah, IIRC you need the broadband adapter to upload the games, so they are in high demand for that reason. IMO, if you're not uploading games with it, you're almost doing a disservice to the emulation community.Quote:

So I'm not about getting a broadband adapter, I don't have any games that aren't already uploaded and probably wouldn't do it if I had any. Not interesting enough.
I bet my friend can whip up a small game to take advantage of any kind of direct dialing. Nothing fancy, maybe a top-down view racer with voice burst or something.
One game I would love to see ported to that system is X-Wing vs. Tie Fighter-- I frekkin loved that game, and played it online over a dial up with much less specs of a computer. I think I was on a P166 with 32MB of ram. If the DC can't run an old dos game the world can just stop spinning now.
