Im planning on getting a bba pretty soon. But I do have a question about how this player takes advantage of the BBA. Can I use it to browse files on my PC and play em though Dcplaya 2.0beta 2. Also Could i put in an address of a web station and play em through it, like the ones here http://di.fm/

I tested DCPlaya 2 with my BBA and it worked... I didn't test the webstation streaming thing... maybe it works, maybe it doesn't.

The link works ok, but the CYGWIN version of DC-Tool for Win32 machines eat to much processor resources and kills your machine...

It works better if your host is a Linux box

dcplaya works fine with my bba (HIT-0401) and also streams internet radio just fine

though i only tried the bookmarks which came with it (some are sadly enough outdated, would be great to be able to load new ones from a vmu file)

the BBA is the LAN adapter.

No, that's not correct.

The official BBA that SEGA released in Japan (HIT-401) and in the States (HIT-400) is a 100 Mbit ethernet adapter, using a RTL8139 chip.

The so called "LAN adapter" (HIT-300) was a prototype that SEGA worked before releasing the BBA, and it's a 10 Mbit ethernet adapter, that it's not supported by any commercial game.

AFAIK, some asian online game shops got those LAN adapter prototypes and start selling them, at a cheaper price than the official BBA's.

Again, the LAN adapter is only supported by homebrew stuff...

Im fairly certain that sega released the lan adapter officially as a cheaper alternative to the BBA that would work with their web browsers, since thats all that most use them for.

I did a little research and you might be right, although the only browser that supports the LAN adapter is the japanese DreamPassport.

PlanetWeb 3.0 does not support the LAN adapter, just the BBA & the 56k modem.

dcplaya (as kos) is supposed to work with both the BBA and LAN adapters, however since I do not own a LAN adapter myself, I never tested that latter one, so I don't guarantee that it actually works.

Well I got my BBA now. I set it up and made a save of it to work with DCplaya. Though ive tried a lot of the streaming radio and none of them will play. I want to access files on my PC, to stream them over but i cant really figure it out. It says I need to use DCload IP. so i went to dc emu dev, but im all sorts of confused, can anyone help me out plz.

Wow. I'm a tard. I'll probably pick up a BBA at some point, so I'm glad someone told me this so I don't get ripped off. Now I know to get a HIT-400 or HIT-401. Thanks, bucanero!
