Dreamcast Is there any Dreamcast game with online still alive today?

I wanted to see what it's like to play an online MMO on the Dreamcast, with official servers, but I don't have enough storage space to test each game and see if it has online support, at least with a community-created server. Do you know of any games with online support or that work on fan-created servers? It doesn't necessarily have to be an MMO, it can be an FPS with live servers to this day that lives like CS 1.6, or any game (for dreamcast)

PSO is for sure, but I don't know what else was even online. I would imagine there have to be more than just that?

PSO is still alive and kicking on PC at least. I still play it from time to time.

Yeah Phantasy Star Online is still active. Quake III is too. I tried to play Quake III online once but i couldn't figure out how to map the controls or use the keyboard in the emulator, but I did figure it out for PSO. I spent a little while messing around in it and there was like 6 or 7 people online at once. All of them were nice too.

Fan maintained servers are up and running and communities like Dreamcast-talk usually coordinates some online matches.

Ofc it wont be like a matchmaking of a popular game, but online is there. Iirc there are even modern releases of Home brew games that have Online functionality.
