On game choice club the network adapter is only 50 while the broadband is 130.

read the discriptions, their the samething. The LAN adapter just doesnt need any support software, but has a possiblity of not being compatible.

The LAN adapters/ BBA in the USA is the same one as use in Japan. The only difference I can think there is would be in the software but that may not be that different either.

Thanks a lot. I'm gonna incorperate one on my portable but my dad showed me how to telnet with the dreamcast to my home network. I then got on the net that way.

Well I'm making a Dreamcast Portable. I'm waking a website as I speak. It's gonna have a built in modem and a laptop power supplie because thats the most efficent. I just found a laptop hard drive in my basement so I might incorperate that in it.

How are you going to incorporate the hard drive into it?

Usb I messed with a coders cable to get usb input.

Just dont expect too much performance out of it remember USB 1.1 only aloues up to 15mbs.

Good luck

I've decided that when I have free time I will be working on my Dreamcast portable. I was wondering if it was possible to use a laptop cd rom drive. I have a couple lying around and was wondering if I could put the gd rom in it.

I'm getting one of those mini-itx dc dc converters. I thought it would be better than ldos. I also found an old 12v laptop battery in my basement.
