DC + BBA - How do I get online?

Is there is a guide for DC BBA owners to play resurrected online games? Not played my Dreamcast since official support dropped and hyped to see all these online games resurrected (wanna get MODE one day, but for now I am still using GC-Rom).

Thanks

The video link below is approximately 7-years old from PCwzrd13. One notable difference in the video is that your primary DNS should be set to 46.101.91.123 per the Dreamcast Live page. I use 8.8.8.8 for my secondary but in the video it is 8.8.4.4 and I have seen 0.0.0.0 as well. What ever works for you is good. I recommend using Quake 3 if XDP 4.0 is not accessible to you. I also have heard that XDP is tough to use without a keyboard.

Thanks Bob!!

That’s awesome all it takes is a simple reconfigure of IP (and got Q3A so can use that to do it!) :D

Ooooo snap; I forgot how few games support BBA :(

I’ll have to look into getting one long term.

I would also go this route, so you'd be able to play them all. Go support PCwzrd13 and spread the word.
Keep the community growing ha!
