Can Japanese Chu Chu Rocket connect?

Post#1 » Sun Feb 19, 2017 11:53 pm

As the subject says!

I can connect with the UK and US versions of CCR, but myself and a couple of others are unable to connect with the Japanese version. Yep, port forwarding etc is all set up. It connects and the screen attached shows and that's it; not able to enter password or username.

So...does that mean the JP version doesn't work?

Hi

The JP game probably use the old Drica IP or Host for authentication. I haven't
investigated any further then that and right now it is not prioritized.

When time is given I will look if it is just a IP rewrite that is needed in the
dreampi as AFO to redirect the traffic to my server.

If you want to speed it up you can do a tcpdump and check what the game
tries to do, that is, does it try to do a DNS lookup for a specific hostname
or direct connect to a certain IP.

Many thanks for your detailed reply! I'm not sure how to do a tcpdump but I'll look into it :)

I know a bunch of people here in Hong Kong who have recently bought DreamPi so we were testing their JP discs :)
