BBA at ebay

As stated and shown in the pictures, the adapter is 100% complete, all paperwork & box parts. The box itself is PERFECT, as if it were just opened. Being a sega net product, there were NEVER any stickers nor bar code labels attached to the box. This box should be on display.


Even if the box says that the adapter is for NTSC systems only, it is a universal component and will work on all reigon systems.
Insane homebrew collector.

I wouldn't say 100$ is cheap.

You have an SD Card reader now so the broadband is no longer that important.

Its certainly cheaper than it was going for before, which was around 150. As far as usage, I was thinking more in terms of online gaming.

Assuming they ever send out these SD card readers, I've been waiting a couple of weeks and there isn't any sign so far...

Also after reading this I'm slightly concerned: http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/showpo ... stcount=18

So we got a few pesky hidden costs to worry about?

It's probably just a burned copy of DreamShell, but who knows it might be a custom piece of software required to run any DC stuff... Should hopefully find out soon enough

That is so incorrect, it actually did a 540, was correct for two seconds, and did a final 180 to be incorrect again, as it should be.

1) You can't play Phantasy Star Online or Quake 3 with a SD adapter.
2) The broadband adapter is faster than the SD adapter.
3) You have to remove the SD card, put it into a SD reader / writer on your PC, transfer the files, take the card out, put it BACK into the DC and then load your application. With the BBA, you connect it once.
4) There's no way to "printf" debug information to your SD card's console display.

The BBA prices have actually gone back up again. After the week of $100 BBAs, one just sold this past week, by itself (no box or instructions) for $120.
