I love arcade games so both DC and Saturn are perfect for my use, especially with my MODE upgrades. Saturn team just couldn’t pick a lane. I have a couple of DC Ethernet adapters but they don’t work with most games so the modem+dreampi is good enough for me.


I'm guessing you already know, but just in case (and for any others reading)...

There was an arcade system based on the Dreamcast hardware called the Atomiswave. Instead of GDROMs, it used solid state storage.

Many (20+) of the Atomiswave games have now been converted to the Dreamcast and work great on the MODE etc.

Yes and they're amazing. Tremendous work by Megavolt85.


You’re talking about modern gaming now the original servers are down. I used a DreamPi now too. But the DreamPi is a comparatively recent addition as well as being notoriously painful to set up for non-technical gamers (doubly so if you’ve got a PAL Dreamcast).

Whereas I was talking about gaming on the Dreamcast back when it was still supported by Sega.


I was referring to how most games never supported the broadband adapter. Compatibility list: https://segaretro.org/Broadband_Adapter. I'm old so I bought mine on launch day(s) both US & JP. BBA in 2000.
