My Dreamcast has been able to get online with ease for about a year now. With the Dreampi method. However, I’ve noticed the internet speed on some of the games (specifically PSO ver.1 and quake 3 arena) has dropped significantly. At times, even disconnecting me. When I try to reconnect. I get an error message that says that it couldn’t connect. What would be the issue?

Re: Trouble with getting online
Did anything change at all (hardware, cables, location)?

Re: Trouble with getting online
Do you have Alien Front Online to see the baud it reports when connected ?
The problem may lie with the Dreamcast's modem . Had to change mine out for a spare

May be the LVI. Did you buy one or make one? Check the Baudrate in AFO and let us know

Re: Trouble with getting online
I am having the same issue. Setup network with 4x4 as recommended. DC connects fine. When I create game or join game, it pops p with the connection problem error and about 10 seconds later will just disconnect saying server unavailable. Baud rate is auto set to 33600. I made my own LVI.
Do i need to replace the modem? Or do I need to replace LVI?
