| VS Link Games : | " Uses for a non-working Dragoncast cable? " I did a try with a MAX3232 DB9 board, and after some tries it works ! It's also possible to use this board with the sd addon from Helder (assemblergames forum) :

| General Online : | " Setting up a dial tone " Now I can confirm my circuit is working with US dreamcast modems, and any PC modem (tested with mgetty on linux).
By the way I can't get it working with PAL modems yet. Tell me if you have any quest ... |

| VS Link Games : | " Uses for a non-working Dragoncast cable? " Thanks for the PM.
Yes, I guess the official link cable is a straight link with some protections. Maybe Sega could give the info ! Do you have any luck with the small PCB for integrated DB9 ? |

| General Online : | " Setting up a dial tone " I don't think that guide tells you how to setup a dial tone does it?
From what I can tell its just how to setup a PC-DC server which I've already done. I guess you want to build a line voltage i ... |

| VS Link Games : | " Uses for a non-working Dragoncast cable? " Yes, and I guess you would only need 5 pins finally.
About linking 2 Dreamcasts without any hardware, we need to look at the official link cable to figure out what is needed : http://topdream.imagin ... |

| VS Link Games : | " Uses for a non-working Dragoncast cable? " You were able to connect two Dreamcasts together just by crossing cables with no additional hardware in the middle? If so, that's awesome!
No, I didn't try that yet, but I think it could work more or ... |

| VS Link Games : | " Uses for a non-working Dragoncast cable? " Ok thanks ! Should I check the voltages of each cable before ? I will try but not sure there is continuous voltage on the pins. Do you think building the null modem only requires 3 pins as shown on th ... |

| VS Link Games : | " Uses for a non-working Dragoncast cable? " Oh yes I see, a DB9 directly on the dreamcast would be nice !
I may try this, will you use a small PCB ? I guess you can move it where you want with the wires. By the way, I wonder if using a cabl ... |

| VS Link Games : | " Sega Tetris " Now I understand how it works : on the CABLE VS menu, there is two options :
If you choose the same option on both sides, the countdown stops. Because you need to choose a different option depending ... |

| VS Link Games : | " Uses for a non-working Dragoncast cable? " I tried with my two different coder's cables, your null modem wiring, and it works !
Tested with success on F355, VOOT and Sega Tetris 
More experiments to come. Also, the selectable option in ... |

| VS Link Games : | " Uses for a non-working Dragoncast cable? " Thank you for all these details !
Very nice of you to build coder's cables
I made a website to share dreamcast infos (french), here are my 2 cables : http://topdream.imaginux.com/topliste.php? ... |

| VS Link Games : | " Sega Tetris " Sure, my dragoncast works with F355 and VOOT. I didn't try Aero Dancing yet.
I guess it could work with Sega Tetris but I don't know what to do when linking is done. By the way, I am trying to figur ... |

| VS Link Games : | " Uses for a non-working Dragoncast cable? " Ok, it worth the try By the way, the dreamcast seems to detect the link cable, because I have a dragoncast cable and even if I switch on one dreamcast only, the cable versus option is selectable ... |

| VS Link Games : | " Uses for a non-working Dragoncast cable? " I had a look to the voltages to compare the two cables. I did the measure with the same dreamcast, at the end of coder cable, on same rs232 pins (between Rx and ground). With one cable there is 5.8V a ... |
