playing a japanese version of fantasy star online on the Dreamcast, which involved using my Amiga as router to change the IP packets TTL on the fly because the Dreamcast sent them with a TTL that was too low to make it to the japanese servers from france

I did this by patching the amiga tcp stack (Miami) directly in memory with an assembly program

a friend had an even worse setup where he directly linked the Dreamcast modem to a us robotics PC modem with a RJ12 cable and made the PC modem listen to incoming connection (i had the Dreamcast ethernet thing myself). The PC was running Linux and we did the TTL patching thing by directly hacking the kernel source, checking for a hard coded address to see if the packet was coming from his dreamcast


Jesus. I remember being proud of getting a utopia bootdisk set-up to play shenmue but i could never get phantasy star online to work...that's ridiculous

There were at least 4 private privacy off-site spinoffs. The dpph spinoff died. The other 3 are still around, but two of the three are pretty anemic.

There are an enormous number of other private trackers out there now though - most of which are bigger or more active than any of the spinoffs and which sometimes have their own internal release groups too.
