I might buy one to play online, the games are only going to get more expensive.
>>11681812For some games, like sega tetris and daytona usa, you need the patched cdi and you cant play off of original discIts on a game by game basis
>>11681853>you need the patched cdi and you cant play off of original discI knew that was the case for PSO but that sucks for Sega Tetris, I was eyeing that one specifically. At least I won't have shell a bunch off money for an actual disc.
>>11681812Just use Fightcade
>>11681908Not the same as real hardware
No one ever made 3rd party broadband adapters right?
>>11681913How so?
>>11681812Its really cool but its not like anyone's actually playing them at any given moment besides PSO which usually has a handful of people online at all times. You're gonna need to hit up some forums or rope some friends in to play with you. Dreampi works really well but honestly Id recommend just emulating. Dreamcast emulation is essentially perfect now and Flycast lets you get online without any set up whatsoever on all the supported games and is crossplay with real hardware.
>>11681812>inb4 nu metal retard
>>11681812>the games are only going to get more expensive.This. It's getting harder and harder to find CD-Rs. They used to cost pennies a disc and now cost dozens of pennies a disc.>>11682039I'm not aware of any commercial ones, but there may have been DIY replicas. People have certainly done work on that. I don;t know how far each got. But there was never really a need, as compatible devices could be had for cheap. Now that most of those have been bought up by """collectors""" it might be worth revisiting.
>>11682181>there may have been DIY replicasI know there was a RaspberryPi mod called DreamPi, but that not exactly cheap and requires a bit of effort from the user.
>>11681812If you never played ChuChu Rocket online you aren't a real man.
>>11681913...anon i don't know how to tell you this but: seganet is dead. it's been dead for almost 25 years.
>>11682217I don't even know what you thought all that word salad was supposed to mean, but dreampi is free software, not a mod, and isn't broadband.
>>11682285I am aware of all that. What I meant was in order to even use dreampi, you need several things, i.e. a ras pi, a voltage line inducer, USB modem, etc.. It essentially converts the standard DC modem into a broadband adapter using the pi's ethernet port.
>>11681812Hey fuckos, Fred Durst here. Don't go online unless you want your ass kicked. I've been playing Q3 since before your were born. If you can't handle me at my Fredst, you sure as hell can't handle me at my Durst.
>>11682230I feel like he knows this
>>11682360>I'm aware that what I'm talking about isn't what everyone else is talking about>What I meant is that to use software that's not what anyone is talking about you need hardware>Here's my incorrect hot take on what that software and hardware doOh deer
>>11682370The Fredst of my Durst shall scar thy dna.
>>11681913Yeah, Fightcade is even better
>>11681812Forget about it.>>11682370Fred Durst killed the Dreamcast.
>>11682096PSO on Gamecube & Xbox has far more many active players
>>11682586You're a moron
>>11683383Actually piracy did.
>>11683393I accept your concession
PSOV2 and quake 3 are the only games with regular players.dreamcast-talk has a weekly game night where they rotate through every playable game, but this means they play shitty games most of the time and you have to wait months to play the few actually good ones, for a couple hours one night.this rotation also means no one is good at any of the games because they get 4-10 nonconsecutive hours of practice a year.
>>11683423didnt stop ps1 lol
>>11681812There is still an active community for PSO. Most players play the PC version, with 40-50 actives players at any given moment, but there are still some dreamcast players around, usually in the single digits. I think Ultima PSO is the most popular if you intend to play on PC whereas Sylverant or Schthack is most popular for Dreamcast. I intended to try to get my dreamcast online, but I haven't gotten around to finding a 56k serial modem to make a PC-DC server. I hope to do so one day.
>>11684439Piracy wasn't widespread on the PS1 due to the requirement of modchips and how expensive CD-R burners were at the time.
>>11684669> there are still some dreamcast players around, usually in the single digits. This is me, Fred Durst, coming at you from the other end of the line on my DurstCast. I'm in single digits because I'm one of a kind, everyone else got their asses kicked by me. I'm also on PSO Blue Durst btw. But I have no time for you chumps, I'm busy playing Jet Fred Radio rn
>>11684686PS1 was incredibly wide-spread. It's common to buy a second hand PS1 these days and buy one chipped on accident.
>>11684795PS1's maybe common, but mod chipped PS1's were very uncommon. By the way, I have a used PS1, no mod chips in sight when I cleaned the PS1.
>>11684896>sample size n=1ok zoomer
>>11684904Zoomers is people like you who didn't live in the 90's playing these consoles. There's a reason why many games sold over millions of copies and end up becoming franchises. If piracy was rampant, then those games would not sell millions and many franchises would have died as a result.
>>11681812>Dreamcast-talk posting free dial-up services on their forumsThose things still exist?
>>11683383>Fred Durst killed the Dreamcast.I bought mine because of him
>>11684686Tell me you're a zoomie without telling me. Piracy was massive on the PS1.>>11684946>if zoomer math then zoomer logicJust embarrassing
>>11684986T. Did it for the nookie
>>11685059>Piracy was massive on the PS1.Delusional groomer detected. No wonder you hate math. Stop doing meth.
>>11682285>>11682586>>11683703Your rebuttal to the attached image anon? Kindly show the class the free software solution you spoke of in >>11682285There is also the creators website (blog.kazade.co.uk/p/dreampi.html) where it states: "DreamPi is a piece of software I've written combined with a standard set of hardware which allows the SEGA Dreamcast to connect to the internet without a dial-up ISP."See that bit that says "standard set of hardware"? The creator was nice enough to provide us a list of them! Here's a copypasta of that too:"To build a DreamPi, you need the following hardware: A Raspberry Pi An SD card containing the DreamPi software image A Linux-compatible, USB dial-up voice modem (UK | US | DE) A telephone cable An ethernet cable Dreamcast browser software (e.g. Dreamkey 3.0)Chances are (regardless of region) you will also need to build a line voltage inducer. This is a simple circuit which sends an electric current down the telephone cable. For this you will need: A 0.47uf capacitor A 380 Ohm resistor A 9v battery connector (two if you have a PAL modem) A 9v battery (two if you have a PAL modem) A soldering iron, some solder, wire strippers, electrical tape, and patience"So I ask you again,what's your smary childish come-back gonna be this time?--With Love,a passing shitposter <3

>>11683703where is this concession exactly?
>>11684946Uh.. how do YOU know how many people pirated? You can't. Just because a title sold millions doesnt mean it wouldn't have sold additional millions if pirates didn't pirate. Pirated games were easily available, you got 4-5 games for the price of one legit game.
>>11685268you say buzzwords without even knowing what they mean lol dumb zoomer
>>11686148I haven't seen this much cope since the last mister thread
>>11686192False. I know how many people pirated, they were FEW, not many. Because it if it were many, then many video game titles would underperform, with franchises like Resident Evil and Metal Gear Solid never getting sequels as a result. You had to have mod-chipped PS1 to play pirated games and not many were willing(nor knew anything about) to modchip their PS1. Many of my friends had legit copies of PS1 games. The only time I've seen anything close to pirated was a DreamSNES CD-R disc, used to play SNES games on the Dreamcast. This was back in 2000 or 2001, but nonetheless I got to play SNES games on a Sega console and that's because my wealthy friend(middle or upper class) had a PC with a built-in CD burner, who lived in a wealthy neighborhood. But even he didn't have pirated PS1 games. But he did have pirated Dreamcast games.>>11686286Stay triggered groomer.
I burn the games they are free
>>11687301here's your last (you). don't waste it
>>11685268I accept your concession>>11687301>more zoomer math more zoomer logic larp addedJust embarrassing
I've never played PSO before. Should I connect my Dreamcast online? Does the game actually hold up if you haven't played it before?
Even with modern Internet old games online still use awkward delay-based netcode.Trying to play CvS2 EO online over Insignia is decently fun but I've been spoiled by modern rollback netcode.
this thread just goes to show that actual retards will argue vehemently over literally anything the fragility is palpable
>>11684686GET, I SAY, GET A LOAD OF THIS GUY

>>11687301The more popular [thing] is, the more likely it is to be pirated or bootlegged. Yes, this means the [Thing] Corporation gets less profit but that rarely results in it folding because there are enough legit customers. Guess you swallowed the "you wouldn't download a car" propaganda hook, line and sinker
>>11687874Discussion!? On my discussion board!?
>>11681812Fred durst is and always will be /our/ guy
>>11687973>shitposting? on my shitposting board?>mySo it's true that most shitposters are tjs?
>>11687839No, what's embarrassing is that you're on meth, you hate math and you hate that I'm right. Your math ain't mathing because you hate math. Whereas my math works because I love it, hence why I know for a fact piracy on the PS1 wasn't widespread or rampant on the PS1 due to several factors, one of which is...1) requiring a modchip. 2) requiring solder skills. 3) CD burners were expensive at the time, not very many people had one installed on PC's. Thus making it less likely for piracy to be common the PS1. The PS1 birthed many franchises, selling millions of games, which wouldn't have been possible with widespread piracy.>>11687940You're an idiot if you think modchipped PS1's were super common or that CD burners were affordable.>>11687963False. The most popular thing is usually the least pirated and most affordable. PS1 attracted massive third party support, thanks to it's anti-piracy measures. Whereas the price ($299) attracted the consumers who didn't wanna pay $399 for a Saturn. Which reminds me, CD burners at the time were $700. So unless you were rich, you weren't pirating PS1 games anytime soon. At that point, you may as well have bought or build a gaming PC, buy "Bleem" and download PS1 roms. Instead of buying a PS1 to then install a modchip, to then buy and install a CD burner for your PC, which you would have undoubtedly spent over $1000 dollars like an idiot just to pirate games. LOL
>>11689135Get well soon
Limp Dickspit sucks and always will suck, no amount of gen z born in the wrong gen shit will change that. I was actually a preteen when they were around and they sucked, deserved to be mocked, fuck zoomer revisionism and their gay obsession with my decade of adolescence.Likewise, Dreamcast was a middling system with a couple good games that put the final nail in Sega's back, you wouldn't think fondly of it if you really grew up with Sega like I did, you'd be pissed at how it sunk them and forced them to make games for Nintendblow.

>>11681812>the games are only going to get more expensive.>>11681913>Not the same as real hardwareBack in my day, we burned a boot disc and played pirated games that way.However now days, it's even better: get GDemu. GDemu allows you to load games from your SD card and run games on their native environment. Zero soldering required, just unplug the GD-ROM drive and replace it with a GDemu.
>>11687870There's barely anyone playing the Dreamcast version of the game, and it's probably the version that has aged the worst. Either get PSOBB on PC or play PSO Episode 1&2 on GameCube or Xbox.
