I really hope someone finds a way to make a homemade BBA.

[BrooksyX]

I would like a bba for my dreamcast (Just got it last week from ebay and I am already addicted) but there is no way I am going to shell out the cash for an accessory that cost at least 4 times more than I paid for my system. But if someone could develop an alternative concept and sold it for around $25 I would buy one.

[Darksaviour69]

a homebrew bba is not going to happen realistcally, the biggest problem is the firmware and custom chip in it (i think)

God dam it

[abeisgreat]

i dont know if this is true , but i think i once heard of a way you could run you bb though your computer and put the signal out as dial-up. which would make your computer a bba

That was only if you had the DC dialup modem and a broadband enabled pc. You still only got the dialup transfer speeds, useful for only playing online games and nothing more.

*sorry Darksaviour69, I didn't notice the links*

[Darksaviour69]

yes but you still get good speeds, as with dailup you never get the full speed of the modem, but with it connected to BB via a pc you are maxing out the 56k (or 33k) modem, so alot better than the old dailup

[donj]

i wish i had a HIT-0401 instead of the HIT-0300

[Queazy]

There's no way I'm paying that much for a BBA for my DC. I was connecting the DC to the net thru my PC using the first link in the post above when I had Windows 98. Once I upgraded to Windows XP Pro I could not get it working with the new OS so my DC has been offline for almost 3 years now. It's a shame but I think that the official game servers for all DC games are gone now anyway so having the DC online would be kinda of pointless.

[Darksaviour69]

there are a few games still online, on unoffical servers, StarLancer, Quake 3, PSO, Max Pool, 4x4 evo(a racing game)

+ there will be some online homebrew games soon

[Kaspanova]

i don't really need a BBA, my dc modem is working, its pretty fast considering its a 56k (33k). i was looking at ign, didnt really have a problem, apart from flash. but hey, it got my saves i needed. i never tried going online with game servers, i got PSO though. wouldnt pay on my dial up when i can get it for free on BB. hence my lack of online dc.

[Darksaviour69]

oh no someone got a bba at a steal of a price!!
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=014&item=330032838539&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1

if you look at the Description, you see that the bba was an extra!!

[Magician45]

wait a minute didnt all DCs come with broad band adapters? i mean the last 3 ive bought came with those. Maybe im wrong?

[Darksaviour69]

no, they came with modems, not BBAs

[VampDude]

Sega Dreamcast Broadband Adapter kinda sux in a strange kinda way cause it's not like we can benefit from the Dreamcast being online anymore, DreamArena is long gone and the only way to play certain games is if someone has a specifically dedicated server for playing Dreamcast games which I highly doubt that many games are even playable online now. I would get one just to play ChuChuRocket if I knew there was a working server for the game, but who's to say that all the working online servers that are working today wont stop just like SEGA did with DreamArena and all the other servers they had for certain games! :mad:

[Darksaviour69]

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

games that are still played online, PSO, Starlancer, Quake 3, 4x4 Evolution ( even the demo version still works) Maximum Pool and Sega Swirl.

Also there will be homebrew online games soon with DCRPG and Dreamchess ( maybe be some emus will have online play at some stage.. but we will have to wait and see if that happens)

[Shuin0]

wow that package deal on that on ebay for the 2x dreamcasts, games and BBA would of been a slick buy.

[ßüboni¢ $oñic]

for the games that only have BBA support would it be possible to fool the DC when it tries to connect into thinking a modem attached to a PC via dc2pc connection is actually a game using a BBA on the DC? I mean how hard is it to find the parts for the BBA? That CSI company in Japan seemed to have enough lieing around to make new BBAs. Plus how was the LAN adaptor created if the DC recognizes no foreign broadband hardware?? And making some of these new online homebrew games could channel their connection to the net with a CC cord going into a USB port or cable modem?

[Darksaviour69]

the modem is the bottle next, you can't fool it into thinking its a bba, it can only handle 56k or 36k thats it. But is will run at max speed when connected broadband via a p.c. since when useing dail up you never get the top speed of the modem.

The problem with making you own bba is not hardware but a firmware problem... i think

Wow thats a lot of mula.

[ßüboni¢ $oñic]

It is often provided on flash ROMs or as a binary image file that can be uploaded onto existing hardware by a user.





If thats the answer is it legally possible and technologically possible to get that firm/software off a BBA then put it on a Lan Adaptor/h-bru to create desired effects??????????????:confused: source:wikipedia :)

[Darksaviour69]

short answer, no

where? i can't find it on the site

[Shinebi]

In the forum: "import store" at the top ( here you can always ask Ken (Akihabara on NTSC-UK) for any retro stuff straight from Japan) or "off topic" buy & sell (for local sellers from Belgium/ Netherlands), mostly in Dutch.

[NoelG]

If you need a Lan Adapter (Hit-0300) i can sell you one, in exchange of a Nintendo DS Lite =)
