Re: [DIY] Combo modem+BBA
An all in one 56k modem/BBA would be one of the coolest 3rd party peripherals I think, I’d love to see a company invest in developing this and I’m sure it would help build the online community too!

Re: [DIY] Combo modem+BBA
This whole thing is badass. Would you ever consider taking commissions to make one of these if someone supplied the parts? I’m not confident in doing the work myself but I do have everything I’d need atm.
Oh! And if not, did ya happen to have the STL files for the casing?

I don't have an STL model because I didn't use a 3D printer.namine207 wrote:Oh! And if not, did ya happen to have the STL files for the casing?
to make the case I used a sheet of plastic, cyanoacrylate glue and baking soda

Re: [DIY] Combo modem+BBA
Man, that's crazy awesome!!! Then is it possible to merge a regular BBA to a regular modem and create a hybrid connection device?megavolt85 wrote:The modem and BBA use different data buses with common pins, so they can be used at the same time.Impulse wrote: Can the dreamcast somewhow read both?
BBA-ready games (Q3, PSO, Toy Racer, etc.) are connected through it.
The rest of the games are connected via a modem.
When I started making the combo I assumed I would have to put in a modem kill switch, but SEGA took care of that and made the BBA a top priority.
