I have a dreamcast, I have a modem and 100cdrs... What next?

Post by OZDCGamer »

Alrighty, so I just got myself a Dreamcast and I've been playing a few games, my vmu are on the way and I've just finished a quick session of Quake 3 over dialup. I'm up to play PSO and Quake 3 a fair bit at all kinds of random hours Aussie/Euro/American... insomnia + leave for the win.

Anyway, I'm just wondering how I should get started... I'm not sure whether or not my being in Australia will affect my ability to play online.

Probably will because of higher latency.

I'm from Australia and the only game I have ever played online with dial-up was PSO back when the official Dream-Arena servers were running, however I never had any problems with it, it worked very smoothly.

I currently play Quake online a little bit, but thats using a BBA, so if you have some extra cash I'd recommend getting one of those, and again, never had any problems or noticeable difference in gameplay when playing from down under.
