56k? Posted by
CyRUS64 @ 21:24
This has been known for a while but some of you might not have heard about this! Thanks to Macca for the news...
"Found this on the net - might be helpful to all your European visitors: **************** ant a faster DC connection to the net? Turns out that Sega software limited your modem. Here's how to switch your 33K model to 56K instantly and for free!
UK gamers have often complained about their poor treatment by Sega in the online aspects of its operation. First we get the most outdated version of DreamArena, then we have to continue paying our phone bill to connect to it and, on top of it all, we get a slower modem than the guys in the US.
However, you can now upgrade your modem to a 56.6kbps connection for FREE.
Apparently, the UK modem is restricted through SOFTWARE which can be edited by the user. To do this just access the AT Option menu from DreamKey and enter AT28=56 in the AT command text box. And that's all there is to it.
Why didn't Sega tell us this in the first place? Could they be afraid that their servers couldn't handle the increased traffic speed? Whatever the reason it fixed now - enjoy 56K connection courtesy of Daily Radar UK.
It's worth pointing out that in spite of our tests proving the faster connection - once the adjustment has been made pictures download visibly faster - Sega claim that in their lab tests the tweak had no effect. Try it out for yourselves... *************
Hope this is helpful ;)

A new version of the NES emulator Gleam! has been released! "What's New: I hope this fixes the pal problems. New version on the left, over there. I have been unable to test this, but I hope this fixes the pal problem all of you pal-people are having. Note: other than the pal fix, this version is identical to the previous in all other aspects." You can download it here.
The sintendo page has also been redesigned and some improvements have been made on the emulator itself! You can visit the Sintendo page here

(i've got a few nice ideas) For all those who have emailed me and not had a reply, i do apologise, but if it is a sensible question/proposition please email again!

Custom DCs... Posted by
TheGypsy @ 21:22
Well, I think I'm about to show my ultimate geekness here, I guess. But, oh well, I can take it...
Anyone done any custom DC work? I've seen some different colored LEDs installed and such. Some 3rd party shells also. Anyone done anything else? I was a little too bored with my DCs recently and did a bit of custom work. Here they are -- you can click on the image for a larger (640x480) version:
...
The first is just a 3rd party shell. I did that a while back. The second is my latest creation with the custom paint job.
No biggie, but I at least wanted to share my work. Something to pass the time in between significant announcements, at least. If anyone has any comments or some pics of their own custom work, feel free to let me know. If we get some decent submissions, maybe we'll add a "Customs" section. heh.

CDRs on future Dreamcasts? Posted by
TheGypsy @ 23:09
Rumors about this have been floating around for a while now, but I did not want to post anything until I had some sort of confirmation. Today I received confirmation from two seperate reliable sources that new Dreamcasts will soon be released that do not allow CDRs to be bootable -- including the Utopia Boot Disc and self-booting apps.
Exactly when this will occur, I do not know -- but I am told that it will likely be in time for the Christmas season. Therefore, if you want to be able to boot things like Boob!boy, DCMP3, Ghetto Pong, and other hobbyist projects, be sure to have one of the "older/current" Dreamcasts. I assume that most of you reading this already do -- but still wanted to mention it in case we have any future DC buyers out there.

Oops... Boob!boy controls... Posted by
TheGypsy @ 20:37
If you are trying to use Boob!boy and it seems like your controllers are dead -- you probably have more than one control pad plugged into your Dreamcast. Due to a minor bug, Boob!boy will normally use the controller in the HIGHEST numbered port -- which is probably the opposite of what you might expect. So, if Boob!boy seems unresponsive to your controller presses, try using the highest-port controller instead (or, even better, unplug the other control pads).
Thanks to cabledude and Snood for doing some quick testing on that for me.
