That's done with a very fancy and expensive broadband adapter that was only distributed in limited amounts. I got mine off of ebay for $100. The alternative is to find a coder's cable (literally over 100x slower) which uses the serial port rather than the ethernet port. It usually goes for around $30 on ebay or sites like Play-Asia.

Once you get that, you download and burn an image of DCLoad IP or DCLoad Serial (depending on which you bought, of course).

Then you download DC-Tool IP/Serial. You load DCLoad on the Dreamcast and run DCTool on the PC. It starts the transfer.

With all the rampant gay jokes involving Falco(most of which he says about himself) you may want to think more about what type of ass you want to have before you go off showing your ass of steel.
