The World Ranking Features for Sonic Adventure have been restored after being offline for over 14 years!

You can use the world rankings feature by using DreamPi DNS 46.101.91.123. Create a ranking upload by highlighting a file on the file selections screen and hold Y+A until you hear the ‘ring’ sound. Then go to the ‘internet’ option in the main menu

Sending ranking data requires an account on Dreampipe BB for username and e-mail information on the ranking

Jonas Karlsson has again revived another Dreamcast game. This time he has restored The Next Tetris: Online Edition

In addition to Jonas restoring Tetris, this new server software works also for Starlancer. Making it a two-for-one deal, which is a sweet deal

To connect, simply use the DNS posted in the Online section. There’s also some ports that require forwarding, thanks Dreamcast Live for making the specific ports available

Tetris: TCP/UDP 3512

Starlancer: TCP/UDP range 2000-3000 and range 6000-7000

You can also set your local address of the Dreamcast into a DMZ, which effectively opens all ports

Dreampipe supports a good list of Dreamcast games with built-in web browsing. With many more to be added once they can be tested. Some of these games include

• Crazy Taxi 2
• Sega GT
• Metropolis Street Racer
• Sonic Adventure
• Sonic Adventure 2
• Phantasy Star Online
• Ferrari F355 Challenge

Many others still need to be tested. Use 192.185.5.88 as DNS2 to use any of those, and more. Info here

This feature is still a work in progress
