I played a little PSO on Dreamcast but never got far; spotty dial-up made it difficult to enjoy online play. Still a console “MMO” was mind-blowing to me at the time, and it was a beautiful game. (Q3A became my primary addiction. Much easier to just connect, mindlessly frag for a few, and not be upset when someone inevitably picked up the phone and starting dialing without listening for the modem first.)
I’ve emulated Dreamcast PSO on my Steam Deck and I know private servers still exist for Dreamcast (and it can made to get back online with an RPi and a little fiddling) but is Blue Burst the preferred game these days? PC version? I’m tempted to give it a proper playthrough sometime.
The PC version with ephinea private server is the most popular way to play currently. Runs well on steam deck. I had to fiddle with settings a bit. Crashes on some resolutions. It’s still fun today.

Private servers exist on the PC version. I think eden server is still a fav but it might be a new popular server.
