Anybody playing this online? Bought the game a few days ago and there hasn't been anybody on. Would love to have a few games or make it a regular thing. I'm from the UK..

Ok cool, Mondays at 8pm UK time and that would be here 3pm US EDT. I can do that, lets make it official! Before we start I have to ask you did you DMZ or Port forward your game yet?

Apologies I don't know what that means haha. I use the Broadband Adapter so have just configured that and then connected to the game after registering my account.

You got the first step right, but most Dreamcast games will need DMZ or port forward to properly work online. I have and use a BBA also and had to port forward my game so it could work properly online. For this game doing one of those steps would make you be able to host your own games/lobbies for it. Without doing one of these steps I wouldn't be able to join your game or see you online. Here are the steps to DMZ or port forward your game: https://dreamcastlive.net/connection-guide/

In this DreamPi setup video it goes over on how to DMZ your Dreamcast games at the 9:50 mark in the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgRLnj2YR3s
