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?

not yet, but excellent suggestions

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...

You can find all the info you ned (including a codebreaker image,
if you look hard enough on the forums) on the Schthack server
official homepage - http://schtserv.funurl.com/

All the info you need will be there.

Not to be contrary, but is the information for running your own server
still a closely guarded secret? I've wanted to fire up a server of my own
just for fun, but aside from the legal issues there isn't a really easy
way to do it without a copy of the PC version of PSO. The people who are
running maverick servers aren't much for sharing the information, and I
can't say that I blame them either.

not.

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 ass.
