I just picked up a golden tee 2004 over the weekend. It is internet ready, but has a built in dial-up modem. Is there any way for me to get it online with my home wireless network? I don't have a land line. Thanks.
 
If it has wired ethernet port, you could connect a wireless bridge to it, that'd get it onto the Internet, but I think what chips4sle is saying is the online servers for 2004 are long gone, and you'd have to make an account with IT to actually get online functionality anyway.
 
Yes, the servers for the FORE series are long gone.

I wonder someone hasn't figured out a way to host the servers elsewhere and come up with some sort of ROM update so we can call into these new servers? Kind of like what they did with Revenge From Mars on Pinball 2k.
 
basically all the severs are gone except the new ones for the "live" golden tees. thats why there are no more upgrades to complete via the phone line. the reason they stopped letting people make the older games go onlinewas that some people would cheat for the tournaments when they are online. also no money being paid so the tournament wasnt getting its share .

I highly doubt connecting Fore to the Live servers is possible. You want to link a Rush the Rock with a Rush 2049? Same difference.

And, when the machine code was physically hauled into an arcade, be it EEPROM, CDs, hard drives, flash, whatever... The community's hackers have ways of getting their grubby fingers on it and making it dance whatever dance we want it to, thus the multitude of multi hacks and other fun stuff. Server code is a different story, it never left IT's datacenter and we'd need an insider to leak it before we could go anywhere. You COULD reverse-engineer the game and write a new server from scratch (see: Programmed World), but almost guaranteed it'd require a patch to the game code, and it would never be authentic to the original.

This is what I am suggesting. A rom hack that could call into new servers hosted by the community. Just like they did with RFM:
