dreamcast private PSO server

| in laymans terms, how does this work?
1 - is there a server out there that i can change my PSO settings and log
into?
2 - is it possible to run my own server?
3 - in either case, after the PSO setting changes, i still log onto the
internet with the same dialup numbers as before, i just connect to this
other server, instead of Sega's dead server. am i correct in this
assumption?
4 - is it possible to run servers for other online games, i.e. alien front
online or starlancer?
i have broadband for my PC and Xbox, but never got the BB adapter for the DC
and now there is very little point. i used a free local isp to dial in with
my DC when the sega servers were up and all i want to do is run a few PSO
sessions with my friends around the state.

| As I've never managed to play PSO online I'd be very interested in this as well!

| yea, i read that page. so if i read it correctly, i use the codebreaker on
my DC and it then connects properly, the codebreaker changes the server that
PSO looks for? the page is vauge. have you even done this? i am looking
for actual people that have done this, i have been looking on the net for a
while, so have seen most of the sites.

I bought the Codebreaker but haven't done it yet. Have you tried the
forums on the various sites, or for DC PSO at GameFAQs?

Yes, via Codebreaker I believe.

Not sure, I think the server software isn't readily available (or easy to
run on a single PC)

Yes. All you do is run codebreaker, input the codes, and these in turn
re-route PSO to the homebrew server. You still connect using whatever ISP
you used previously.

No idea.

There are three on eBay right now; search (code breaker dreamcast).
Oh, and as the OP asked about Starlancer servers: Starlancer is still
online normally. onlineconsoles.com schedules get togethers there...

Well, they are not common anymore. You *could* download it from a few sites
on the web (Google for it) or if you disagree with piracy (though you can't
buy it any more and the original copyright owner won't get any profit from a
secondhand sale) you could try eBay. They turn up there sometimes.

| YAHOO! I have PSO running on my DC again. What a treat. I must applaud
the fellow that set up this private server. Seems there is also a copy for
the PC running around rather freely, with a little looking if you are into
that kind of thing, that will link up to the same server and allow DC and PC
people to play together. Kick XXX.
