Is there any possible way that you could hook up DC's to play online games but not connect to the internet?
Like if i wanted to play PSO with some friends and we couldnt get online could we connect our DC's to a hub, Together, or prehaps a PC?
and if you cant is there anyway this could ever happen? like softwere being created for a PC to allow multi DC hookup?

not possible. we would need a reverse engineer. It will never happen I'm afraid because it would take months, probably years.

some with years of engineering would have to change the game. why would someone who could be payed to make games not be paid anything for games a lot of people don't care about?

Yes you can do this with games that support the system link cable, also known as the dreamcast vs cable. A maximum of 2 dreamcasts can be connected. Check the online game list for the list of 5 games that support the cable.

You can also LAN quake 3 arena, however this would require broadband adaptors and a central PC server.

Also check the VS Cable forum for more discussions on games that support the vs cable:
