Online with Dreamcast

[David84b]

For a long time I used multiple free ISP's while they worked, but now I can't get anything to work and http://www.dreamcastfun.com seems to not have been updated for a long time. Seganet trial doesn't work either. With bomberman online commin out, alienfront online and others I'm missing out on right now, I'd really like to play online and I don't have the money to pay for an isp. Any ideas?

You are going to have to pay $10.00 for seganet's server costs anyway, so it doesn't matter.......

evil ur wrong u only have to pay for PSO v2....

[CG1]

not no more, there starting to charge for ALL of there servers

thats some bull plop (lol i censord that myself)

[Bling_]

woah! how can they do that?...if the games that are already released...are free....can can they update non-updatable software...

Edit:: if i was sega i would make dreamcast servers free...then PS2 and x-box servers pay....that'll boost DC sales for alittle bit...or not...proboly just a lot of bitchen from gamers...

[CG1]

there doing it, actually i think it started nov. 1st, im not 100% sure tho, talk to ShadowofBob, he seems to know all about it

u cant change games already released. so no there not being charged only pso vr2 and future games. cause as for quake 3 its server to server no way to pay any futher cause it doesnt have any internal tracking features to know who paid and who didnt. so no reason to worry. i play it every night

1) Find your local Dotnow access numbers.
2)Username : 195xxx@dotnow.com (put any numbers in place of x's)
3)Password : dotnowiscool

There, you're all set. Let me know if you have any problems with it.

Dudes, ive been playing Quake III, Unreal Tourney, Starlancer, NFL 2k1 and Alien Front for a long time and i have not recived a single additional charge besides my usual ISP fee. i think this may only be for SegaNET and Earthlink subscribers or just for upcoming online games

[Tails Prower]

Actually this has been a hot topic at Gamefaqs.com and people have investigated (lol) and it is believe that 3rd party games (Quake, AFO, UT) Cannot be charged for because they dont run on SegaNet servers.

Let's make a list of the free and pay online DC games. This is what I got so far

FREE
Quake 3
Unreal Tournament
4X4 Evolution
Alien Front Online
POD
Outtrigger
Starlancer

NOT FREE
Ooga Booga
PSOv2
PSO?
NFL2K2
NFL2K1

Daytona USA? (I couldn't get on earlier but I'm not sure it's because of the pay to play.)

*They have no way to implement a pay to play structure in MOST online games so they will remain free. (Although Sega doesn't want anyone to know!) -jedi777 winnder of the q3 ladder tourney (or so i think it was him)

Sega is trying to update some of the servers into pay to play, but Most of the games listed under free are still free. Most people are saying Bomberman Online is still free too (Im about to buiy that game) But i can personally say Quake 3 and AFO are still free

[Guizzy]

The first PSO is supposed to be free too; v2 isn't.


The offer changed from: "Pay to play PSOv2" to "Free to play v1"...


Alien Front Online; is it any good?

[CG1]

AFO is a kickass game!! i lost it tho

ima look for it later

[rapigator]

http://dcnet.hypermart.net has a list of universal logins for several free ISPs

[ikaru]

there is no free ISP for sega

and all the games are free to play exept all the sports ones.

Oh if you find a free ISP it wont be for long, and if you are connected with a free ISp you will be diss in less than 20 minutes

[Tails Prower]

AFO ROCKS! If ur on look for me, my username is Shadow, but there are a couple Shadows around online, im a Captain, so my rank thingy looks like |=|

[Tails Prower]

Bomberman is free as can be, and Daytona USA is dead, they took down the servers.
