This is still accessible from a Dreamcast if you have a working one! I did that at the beginning of this year. Requires either a broadband adapter or a DreamPi (that’s what I used). You might be able to use the built in modem if you have a landline, but I didn’t try that.
Here’s the original. Seems like the “Ape Escape” piece was added via a repost at some point. I was confused too why Nintendo systems were used instead of PlayStation as well.
