Transfer Code Thru Standard Modem

[Velovix]

So, I'm very new to this whole Dreamcast homebrew fiasco, and I'm still trying to get set up.

One area that seems particularly sticky are the ways one is expected to transfer code for testing. I'd rather not have to build a rickety coder's cable or plop down $100+ on a broadband adapter, but those look to be the only discussed options.

Is there a way to use the standard dialup modem to send in code? If there isn't, why isn't there one? I know it would be slow, but patience is cheap! Thanks!

It can be done, but IIRC it usually requires additional hardware anyway to provide the line voltage (unless you have a pair of phone lines you're willing to tie up for transfers). In principle you could do it with a VoIP adapter, but that requires some unusual configuration (i.e. I'm not sure most VoIP hardware actually supports it) to happen.

Thank you for the speedy reply!

Are there any guides for how this might be accomplished, or am I in uncharted ground by attempting this?

With multi-session CD-Rs you can update the binary over 20 times to test it; you just won't be able to use the debugging tools that need a coder's cable.

Also, a SD card reader can help even more than CD-Rs, is much less expensive than a BBA, and easier to find than a coder's cable.
