hi guys im Diogo Alex and im from Portugal.
i am a big fan of the sega dreamcast and i think is time to connect my dreamcast to the internet.
im kind a noob so i have some questions.
i still have my first dreamcast it works 100% but i dont know what tipe of modem i have because it dosent have any stickers on it.
But i think is a 33k modem because i have a pal version.
Another question i have to make is, there is any way to connect my dreamcast to my computer without using a bba?
i dont have a bba but i dont want to use my phone to connect my dreamcast to the web, Anyone knows if there is another way?
i really want to connect it, i never had a chance but now i have a good pc etc.. i want to do all it takes!
respects to all

*srry for my english*

HI, the guide on our site here will tell you everything you need to know :

http://dreamcast.onlineconsoles.com/phpBB2/guides_pcdcwin98.php

If you follow it exactly it will work just fine, but you need to have windows 98 or ME (Yes it works with ME).

Because you have a 33k Dreamcast modem you will probably have to build a line voltage simulator OR use an external USB modem, but you can use a 33k modem - i would HIGHLY suggest getting a 56k model A dreamcast modem - you can find them on ebay for fairly cheap.

If you follow the guide 100% it should work just fine, best of luck!

Very Happy
