Connection Guide

Patched versions of the games are required to play online which are available from the Downloads page. A version of iSD with English translated menus is also available.

You’ll also need to set a unique User Login / Login ID in your Dreamcast’s ISP configuration as this will be used as an account name in the game. Due to the large majority of DreamPi users having this set to “dream”, anyone with this login ID will be blocked from connecting to the server in order to prevent users from sharing an account. Note that this is just an account name, not a username. You’ll set your username after connecting to the server.

Note on BBA support:

While both Aero Dancing i and iSD support the Dreamcast broadband adapter, this feature is untested. The developers of the game labeled the BBA support as experimental and made no guarantees as to its usability. It seems the game only supports a direct connection to the internet and doesn’t support connection through a home network (router).
