    I was back home recently and dug out one of my Dreamcast Broadband Adapters to use with my new Dreamcast, I know at one point I had this setup, however I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get Dream Explorer working with this. I want to backup all of my VMU's to my PC, however I can't seem to find information on how to set this up exactly. I seem to recall that I needed a client program as well as needing to have the BBA setup.

    I've got a PlanetWeb 3.0 disk and I believe I've configured the BBA, however because PlanetWeb's servers are down I cannot go anywhere (as an aside is there any fix for that?). In any case Dream Explorer still tells me that I need to have a BBA in order to Connect to PC.

    Thanks

    I recommend setting up the BBA with XDP browser. Easily downloadable for free. Only browser I know which sets up the bba correctly for all games.

    Thank you, I've got XDP running now and I was able to browse the Internet, does this thing not work with the Dreamcast Keyboard? (I am using the old MadKatz adapter, so its possible its dead, I'm trying to find my copy of Typing of the Dead to confirm).

    Any idea on how to get Dream Explorer working on this? I'd like to backup my VMU's.
