Posted: Thu Jul 20, 2023 11:26 pm
You need to set port foward in order to Host games on Driving Strikers, but don't need if you are ok beeing just guest of a match.
Port: UDP 30099
Here are the options, choose one.
OPTION 1
Above you see basic opening port example if you have the BBA connected directly to router.
But that way you don't appear on Dreamcast Now and your dear friends won't know you're online.
OPTION 2
Below you see what is needed when using BBA Mode, having wireless connection and Dreamcast Now:
1) Here you need to open the UDP Port 30099, but this time for RaspberryPi's IP Address:
2) Check what IP Address Dreamcast gets from BBA Mode (is a different pattern)
IP Address of my example: 192.168.2.2
3) Insert the line below on RaspberryPi to have the port forwarding rule, so just need to set once.
a)
Open eth_route.sh file
> nano eth_route.sh
Add this code in last line [change the ip for what shows for your case]:
> sudo iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p udp --dport 30099 -i wlan0 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.2.2:30099
Save > Control+O
Exit > Control+X
Reboot Pi, Start BBA Mode (if is not already scheduled) and that's all, now you can host:
