What is DCNet?

DCNet is a cloud service dedicated to support select Dreamcast games with online features to be able to play them through Flycast seamlessly without the need of port-forwarding/UPNP configuration.

While connecting to Dreamcast Live servers through Flycast requires game-specific port-forward configurations in routers to be able to succesfully play in most if not all games, DCNet lets you play in any of the supported games from any functional internet connection without previous setup as it uses its own servers.

To use this feature, you just need to head to the Network tab, enable DCNet, and access the game's online mode as you normally would.

This feature is currently only available in the latest Flycast dev build, so you need to download that from the Flycast builds website and specifically download the build at the top of the dev list instead of the master list.

Note that for it to work, the ISP info stored in the emulated Dreamcast flash should be user "flycast1" or "flycast2" with password "password" (these are set by default by Flycast) - if you change these through a web browser, it won't work.

Currently supported games:

• ChuChu Rocket!
• DeeDee Planet [Patched CDI version]
• Monaco Racing Simulation 2
• Pod Racer
• PBA Bowling 2001

Additionally, the following games, while can also work without previous setup without the use of DCNet, are also compatible:

• Quake III
• Mobile Suit Gundam: Federation vs. Zeon [to be fully confirmed]
