Dreamcast serial port question

Post by misjah »

Hi, I want to connect two dreamcasts via serial cable for multi screen mode. Since I don`t have cable I`m planning to make my own.... so, my question: can anybody provide me some schematic with correct pin connection or is it standard - pin1 to pin1, pin2 to pin2.....

wow, that sounds like a rad idea but the connection doesnt look very standard. Here is something I just found, even though it says its not the right way to do it but check it out for pin outs..

Could one possibly mod the port to use a regular serial port instead of the fancy port they have on it? I would love some DC to PC sexuality!

I think I already found solution for this one, I`ll put regular rj45 Lan connectors so it can be connected using ordinary ethernet cable.... when I stop being lazy....
