DC-PC server guide for Windows XP/Vista/7 and Linux - aldair - 25.09.2013 16:30 Introduction There have been several guides on setting up pc-dc server, much of which this guide is based on. The difference here is that we aim to provide a setup process the OS that most of our users are running, and in such a way that the less tech savvy can understand. While this process is by no means elegant, is the best option for those who are not willing to pay for a Dialup ISP, or for the rare and expensive BBA. The ideal setup for a pc-dc server, is a Linux box with a serial modem. Serial modems always work, and Linux is very easy to tinker with which is important when doing something as irregular as a pc-dc server. Of course, few people run Linux on their machine, and fewer even have a serial port on their machines let alone own a bulky serial modem. Thanks to VMware, we can emulate this ideal environment, right on your Windows machine (XP, Vista, 7) and with a simple pci or usb modem. VMware will install Linux to a virtual machine that will then detect any kind of modem as a serial device. Thus, providing us with the most reliable reliable environment to get some online Dreamcast action. Of course, you could skip the virtual machine and do this all natively in Linux if you wish. So long as you have a Linux supported modem. and just to be safe…. WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR PC, MODEM, DREAMCAST, SELF, CAT, RAmar, and so on!!!!! Let’s get started then shall we? http://www.dreamcast-scene.com/guides/pc-dc-server-guide-win7/ RE: DC-PC server guide for Windows XP/Vista/7 and Linux - SWAT - 26.09.2013 09:05 Very good guide! In the Dreamkey settings can use the Serial modem, maybe some games it can be used? In this case it would be sufficient to connect Serial <=> Serial and emulate modem on linux.
