Yes, this post is being made entirely from the little white box. I got my broadband adapter and it's amazing. well worth the money.

I can't believe the speed of this bab. JSL, your internet connection was just pwnt by my Dreamcast...

This is amazing. The browser is awesome too. Javascript support, flash support, all the goodness.

You aren't a DC fan or devver until your white box is online...

:!!!!:

Alright, I might as well describe my setup.

I've been working on it for awhile. I have 2 network cards on my PC. One connecting my PC to the router and to the internet, and one connecting to the BBA on my Dreamcast. I created a bridge from my PC to my DC so that my Dreamcast is getting online through the computer.

That's pretty sweet because I'm posting on my Dreamcast right now and watching what i post on my PC (both are online).

The speed is almost outrageous. It's so nice too, because I have keyboards and mice for the full experience.

I even went online with Samba De Amigo and downloaded the songs.

I'm also really impressed by the browser. Even HS's GIGANTIC animations are loading and are displaying perfectly.

I'm getting ready to play some Phantasy Star REALLY onine or Quake III Arena.

Oh, and also. If I click on a VMU save file, (GameFAQs.com and other sites have them. I hope TCR will one day have them also), it offers to download directly to my VMU. Same goes with minigames.

Damn guys, THIS is NextGen right here. Show me that the X-box or PS2 can do this. Only... they can't. I might be impressed if they could browse the web.

NOT. They'd still be outdone by a little white box that came out 3 years earlier.

I can't tell you how much I'm enjoying my beautiful DC being online. It's AWESOME.

It's funny that when I turn on my DC windows is like OMFG NEW NETWORK CONNECTION DETECTED!

When I turn it off it's like OMFG NETWORK CABLE HAS COME UNPLUGGED!

BAG! So, is this browser a homebrew app? What resolution does the mug cruise at? 320x240

Just kiddddin.

....

I forget what a n00b you are when it comes to the DC. Ummm... no. There are all sorts of browsers. This one isn't homebrew at all.

Post by **Falco Girgis** » Mon Jul 25, 2005 5:17 pm

I'll guess it's a 640x480 resolution.

Well excuse me for not searching to find info on random DC browsers even thought I can't use them without a BBC. Yep I would definately consider that noobish.

Post by **Falco Girgis** » Mon Jul 25, 2005 6:00 pm

You just proved your n00bishness even more FOOL.

You can use them without a BBA. Jesus, I'll never try to own you again. You have it covered! :guffaw:

Post by **Falco Girgis** » Mon Jul 25, 2005 6:02 pm

Out of curiosity, if you can't use it without a BBA, does that mean that you think the 56k modem in the back of it is just for decoration?

:D

Hey, JSL, I'm just kidding. seriously, I deserve to have the shit pimp slapped out of me for being such an arrogant ass in the last few posts.

I'm serious though. I even made VMU animations and downloaded them from TheChaosrift. I think there's a way to make the DC Puru pack even rumble in HTML (special tag that's ignored by other browsers).

I had personally always thought the DC online was more of a ... fun thing. No, it's a completely different experience. i'm even etting on IRC chat with this baby. I watch lots of flash movies at Newgrounds also.

Just a few minutes ago, i got on Quake III Arena online. I got on a server and freaked people out by telling them I was on a Dreamcast when they were all on PCs running windows Xp.

Man, this is DC to the next level.

I've decided that we should optimize TCR for good DC browser viewing. *gets on it*

Post by **JS Lemming** » Mon Jul 25, 2005 9:01 pm

By optimizing it for the Dreamcast.. do you mean making a lower resolution version? And that modem in the back really is just for looks, it's hollow to be exact, well mine is.

Post by **JS Lemming** » Mon Jul 25, 2005 9:16 pm

So.... tell me how to get my DC online, or tell me what I need to have, so that I can cry since I don't have what's required.

Post by **Falco Girgis** » Mon Jul 25, 2005 9:55 pm

There is nothing that is required that you don't already have.

It's just harder with certain things that you do have.

You set up a bridge between your PC and Dreamcast so that your Dreamcast basically dials up through your PC. That way they're both sharing internet access. There is a whole walkthrough somewhere and you're in luck because I couldn't get it to work with windows XP.

Pre-windows XP versions are supposed to be alot easier.

Also, some more coolness I've found. If you click on an HTML file upload form, it lets your browse your VMU for files. I can save Javascript cookies and crap to my VMU. This browser is some serious shizzle I say.

It really makes me want to put some VMU games, files, and animations on TCR. Looks like getting them is actually not that hard after all. I had no clue that it was a matter of simply clicking with the browser.
