Since i (insidious_plots) was never exactly a hardcore gamer, the dc hasn't even
been turned on in maybe three years...  I eventually built an awesome HTPC but
now i am doing in-home care for my ailing mother the last few months, so it's
mainly a laptop or my smartphone, which i am typing this email on now...  I do
have a ps3 (connected to mom's 42" lcd hdtv :)  ) and a psp - both gifts - and
so i still have plenty of the getting-online-with-a-game-console experience :)

I still read the posts but handed off ownership and control of the group to
others long ago...

This is almost like a dcbg old-timers reunion :)

I tried a couple of things but nothing seemed to work quite the way i
wanted it to.  Thanks to everyone who emailed me and offered advice.
I'm just gonna buy one of those Nexus memory cards with the cable and
use that for all my backup needs.

I read that the 16x card is unstable but are there any problems with
the 4x Nexus card?

In case anyone is curious what i wanted to back up, it's various
fighting game replays that i used to capture footage for combovids.
Here are a few different samples:

I have just listed a few of my Dreamcast Broswers up for sale on ebay
when I remembered this place and I was pleasantly suprised to see the
Dreamcast Browser Group is still with us even if it is fairly
inactive now :'(

If anyone is interested in the following lot:

Dreamkey 1.0 + DreamOn Volume 1
Dreamkey 1.5 x2
DreamOn Collection 2
Planetweb Web Browser
Hello Kitty Dream Passport 2

Then take a look at my auction here:

I hope no one minds this blatant advertising but I'd rather they go
to someone who would appreciate them.

ok,to make a long story short: My original dc controler strangely
stopped working about 9-10 months ago,I finnally got new ones this past
weekend,went online with my dreamcast,the DC PW Portal
(http://dreamcast.planetweb.com/) worked fine but for some odd reason
when I tried to go to Planetwebmaster (http://tools.planetweb.com) it
wouldn't load...and it isn't loading on my PC either and it times out
when I ping it.

This is sortof browser-releated so...is it just me or has PlanetWeb
Master gone down?

~A Fellow Segafan still keeping the Dream alive

Hey, I recently got a Dreamcast (and keyboard) and have had maybe more
fun IRC chatting with it with my dial up internet than actually
playing game.  Nice game system!  :)

I would like to someday get the Dreamcast to telnet or dial into BBS's
that I still like to check in on, and would like to do that with the
Dreamcast, so that, if nothing else, I can only have the Dreamcast on
my desk.  :)

If you have any pointers on this, let me know.

Doesn't have to be modem only options.. I plan on picking up a
broadband adaptor in the near future.

Hi,

Something interesting from Wikipedia... and I thought the Dreamcast
was official dead this year!!



The Return of the Dreamcast

On February 16, 2006, Sega once again began selling Dreamcast consoles
through its online store, Sega Direct of Japan. The package deal
included a refurbished Dreamcast, a cell phone card, and Radilgy — a
new 2D shooter game by developer Milestone. A short time later,
developer G.rev followed that game with a second new 2D shooter game
called Under Defeat in March. Both releases were for the Japanese
market alone. While the refurbished package has been discontinued,
Sega Direct does still sell several Dreamcast software titles.[5]

On May 20, 2006, Sega of Japan went live with free Phantasy Star
Online servers.[6] A translated excerpt from the article reads, "I
would like "Phantasy Star Online" to play forever in users. [...]
Please continue your favors toward the degree in which 'Phantasy Star
Online' is patronized."

On May 30, 2006, the gaming website IGN officially relaunched IGN
Dreamcast with the goal of revisiting the 243 North American-released
Dreamcast games and give "new impressions, screens and videos" and
compare them to the gaming experience provided by PlayStation 3, Xbox
360, and Wii games.


On January 31, 2007, a port of the Neo Geo game Last Hope, developed
by NG:DEV.TEAM was published by redspotgames via Play-Asia.com and
various other stores. The GOAT store has planned other games which
will be released in the 2007.

On February 22, 2007, a port of the Naomi powered 2D shooter Trigger
Heart Exelica, developed by Warashi, was released on Dreamcast for the
Japanese market with both a current and a limited edition release.
Despite rumors that went around the internet, the game was not
retitled to Trigger Heart Extension for the Dreamcast release.

Milestone announced that Karous, their new NAOMI vertical shooter,
would be making its way to Dreamcast on March 8, 2007.

On April 1, 2007, the official servers for Phantasy Star Online were
closed. Later a campaign via paper petition to Sega Europe started,
but Sega Europe finally said they will not support Phantasy Star
online for Dreamcast or give the software to a third-party.

Hello. Where is the tilde key in DPP3 ? I finally got my dreamcast working over
a LAN to my
Mac but can't properly enter address w/o tilde.
Thanx
  Zoot.

Hi all,

Just been searching through the Japanese manual of Phantasy Star ONline which I
recently acquired. I found adverts in the back for several Sega and Dreamcast
related sites.

I believe we have all heard of ISAO ( http://www.isao.net ). They have stored
all the Dreamcast Japanese games online sites, including the PSO VBBS (huge
online PSO photo album, by PSO fans). Anyway, I discovered that ISAO stands for
Interactive Services for Amusement Online. I didn't know that.


Also, how many of you know what CRI is short for? I didn't know until now, but
it stands for CSK (Sega's parent company) Research Institute. Remember, CRI
created MPEG Sofdec and ADX (sound) which are used on all of the Dreamcast
games. ADX sound is still used today on some Gamecube (and other platforms?)
games.


Lastly, Dreamcast Direct ( http://www.d-direct.ne.jp ) is no more - I'm not sure
when it closed, so it ay have been closed for years! You are now redirected to
Sega's Japanese online shop ( http://segadirect.co.jp ). This is where I found
some info on some of the new Dreamcast games coming out in Japan this year
(2007), but more on those tomorrow.

Dear members,


A few months ago I acquired the japanese version of CART (aka Super Speed
Racing), a japanese version of PSO and a Hong Kong Dreamcast (I can tell, as it
has no modem - just the plastic bit with no modem cable slot!).

Anyway, I haven't played any of the other Dreamcast racers in ages (I have
pretty much all the Sega ones) and loved it. It does, however, have appalling
graphics (it was made in 1999), awful music (well, it's not to my taste),
non-existant AI and plenty of slowdown (despite clipping in the distance!). I
was wondering if anyone could recommend any Indy Car/CART style racers. I don't
mind if they are US only as I can play NTSC games ;)

I also got the Japanese version of PSO, as mentioned earlier, and was wondering
if it has anything that the western (US or European) releases didn't have. It
does have the Sonic Adventure 2 Trial Demo, but I'm sure we had that in the west
(not sure if it came with PSO or some other game).

PS. I forgot to mention in my "messages are now moderated" message that you
should now change your group settings to individual messages, unless you prefer
otherwise.

Hi folks,

I finally got around to switching over to moderating the groups messages about a
week or so ago, hence no more spam ;)

Anyone can join the group at present and I will keep a close eye on any new
links and images added to the group.


Long live the Dreamcast

I've used DK3 too on my US DC, it's Full Screen
for me too when I set it's screen size to Large.
Jerky scrolling sounds like you need to set the
Scrolling option to a diffrent number to achive a
smoother scroll.

Indeed. I haven't hardly had any time to delete
the junk usually since I'm so busy now-a-days.

Hi folks,

I hope everyone had a good Christmas and a Happy New Year.


I had to switch from a UK (PAL) Dreamcast to a Japanese (NTSC) one. However,
despite my memory cards being present at boot (I had to use a boot-disk) when
going online DK3 did not recognise the presence of the "DREAMKEY.SY3" settings
file.
I had to delete the original and change the settings to my liking and then
resave (after deleting the original file - it would not let me over-write,
unlike on my PAL DC).

Are all these problems related to using a boot-disk so I could use DK3 on my
Japanese DC? Also, is there any way to "force" a 60Hz display? On my UK DC the
up/down scrolling was super smooth, but on my Jap DC it is slightly jerky and
the image is now full screen (as opposed to bordered PAL).


Any comments/suggestions welcome.
