What team for what Dreamcast game? I cut my teeth for online gaming with Q3A on the Dreamcast (started out in Clan427 as UncleTom). I also mapped for Q3A before switching to Q2. Fill me in on the Dreamcast thing...

If you mean mapping for Quake 3 Arena, I already asked if that was even possible and from what I was told by the people at Dreamcast-Talk (many years ago) they said that the game does not support custom maps for various reasons. The system only has 2mb of RAM, which as you can imagine, is very limiting for a custom map. There isn't a harddrive on the Dreamcast which means any files that might have worked would still need to be packaged into a full game file and burned as an ISO file on a disc that can be read by the Dreamcast. To complicate matters further, everyone you play with would have to have an exact copy of that disc or they would not be able to play on the same maps. If the Dreamcast had the means to access a harddrive, this might not have been an issue, but as it is, it's just not conducive to this type of modding for the games.

Alternatively, you CAN download the Dreamcast map pack for Q3A for play on a PC, but it involves a different point release. The PC version has a final point release of v1.32 while the Dreamcast uses v1.16n. I've played the DC Map Pack on PC and it was a lot of fun running those maps on a higher spec machine, but you will also realize just how small those maps were.
