HG101 itself was (is?) a treasure of old-school web design.

hg101.bsky.social•9 days ago

I miss the old site even though updating it at its scale was completely untenable

I remember burning a linux live CD that would boot on the dreamcast... didn't have a keyboard for it though 😅

Dreamcast was so far before its time, it's crazy.

Its the OG GOAT imo

lorddalek.bsky.social•9 days ago

Wow it looks just as broken as the old site.

flentrop.bsky.social•9 days ago

learn somethin' every day

ghaleonunlimited.bsky.social•9 days ago

The dreamcast can run GTA3, what CAN'T it do is the question!

moral1sakasergei.bsky.social•9 days ago

Lawd have mercy.

taxowlbear.bsky.social•9 days ago

The intended way to view the site.

landofobscusion.bsky.social•9 days ago

I mean, it makes sense. As long you have an Internet Browser disc I imagine it can still go online, to some degree.

hg101.bsky.social•9 days ago

apparently it doesn't like sites with SSL, which HG101 (currently) doesn't implement

landofobscusion.bsky.social•9 days ago

Yeah, I'm sure there are some modern incompatibilities, but it's cool to see that it's still (somewhat) working.

eggmansasshole.bsky.social•9 days ago

Yeah almost nothing works with it anymore, I usually test it on 68k.news which will run on an Apple II lol

inobscurity.bsky.social•9 days ago

i think the (expected) barrier is that a lot of modern websites are much bigger than the dreamcast's ram, plus they have all kinds of junk that won't be supported by a browser from 25-ish years ago
i remember even c.2001, the flash version used on the undertaker's website prevented it from loading

oh you absolutely can, it’d almost be easier to make a list of things it CAN’T do by this point

summary of what it can do here: https://youtu.be/AFvISeKe9zQ

errr aktually it's an article on Sonic Rush Adventure ☝️🤓

absolutely love seeing the dreamcast and gamecubes and ps2’s continue to have an online presence in 2025!!! so fantastic!

Happy networkinggg!!

Sigh.. imagine if the Dreamcast were successful and we were on the 4th or 5th generation of it right now.

rivertheplushie.bsky.social•9 days ago

Oh yeah

I remember being so excited that the Dreamcast would be able to browse the web, despite me not having a web connection or money to buy a Dreamcast in 1999

hg101.bsky.social•9 days ago

I had one but I was at college at the time and it wouldn't work with the phone network for some reason
