Ok guys, I have infront of me -

a pile of blank CDs :eek:

what else do I need? Is DC still online? Homebrew multiplayer games? ANYTHING?

Thanking you kindly, dear sirs, in advance

EDIT - eh? Seems damn complicated. Do i need a VOICE modem? im using a NTL Broadband USB modem, will that do? I thought this would have been "bang in the wire and your online"

edit 2 - damn, how n00bish of me, DC doesnt even have an ethernet port, should have looked really :(

Is DC still online?

I believe PSO is still online, but I'm not sure about any of the other online commercial games.


Homebrew multiplayer games?


Nope, not that I know of. AFAIK, no one has really figured out how to code the TCP/IP stack properly in homebrew software, and so it hasn't ever been implemented. It's been included in KOS (the operating system used to develop independent DC software) for a few years, now, but I don't know of anyone that's successfully implemented it.
