Games Online have some problems on DreamShell!

Now that the Dreamcast online community is very active, I think it's important to report these problems using DreamShell.

Here are the list of what I've tested so far.

- Phantasy Star Online (SD Card/IDE) - Works online but you can't revive your teammates, you can't use magic on your teammates, freezes when playing ruins 3(Only on ultimate).

- Monaco Grand Prix Online (Sd Card) - Works online (No CDDA, obviously the serial limitation).

- Quake Arena 3 (Sd Card) - Works online (No CDDA, obviously the serial limitation).

- ChuChu Rocket (Sd Card) - You can see the lobby and talk to other players, when the game starts it has problems creating or accessing the rooms.

- Planet Ring (Sd Card) - Connects but you can't see the other players

- Ooga Booga - Doesn't boot on DS.

- Windows CE Games (Most of the online games) don't work on the SD Card, probably some serial limitation.

- Games like Sonic Adventure 1 that have online functionalities using the browser, give a black screen when accessing the browser inside the game (I realised only the XDP Browser works with DreamShell).

I still have to test other games like Alien Front Online.

 

Report them there to them

 

Report them the problem please.

the win ce games run only with ide mod, using opt format and true dma.
For others which format have you used ? probably a better result with .gdi format than .iso or .cdi.

cdda doesn't work with monaco grand prix and quake unfortunately...

 

Cdda for Monaco doesn't work on CD-r either

 

I've used GDI files and optimised them for DS!

 

i tried alien front online via sdiso (but only once) and it crashes when you connect the modem

 

sometimes gdi (except for wince games which run only in opt with ide mod and true dma) run better than optimzed. if you want to try a last thing.
But probably you will have the same issue...

 

Good to know this, I'm going to try it and Ill post the results here!
