This isn't the best kept secret in the Dreamcast online community but it's time to officially announce that Speed Devils Online has come back to life.
The server is based on Shuouma's work on the Ubisoft game server for POD: Speedzone and Monaco Racing Simulation 2. I added the required features to support Speed Devils Online as well. The server is still in beta-testing phase but it's more than playable and it's actually pretty fun.
The server is accessible both on DCNet and normal Internet using DreamPi. It's open for public testing and you get a $4,000,000 cash bonus at sign up instead of the normal $10,000 of the original game! It is feature-complete at this point but expect some bugs here and there.
Big shout-outs to those who made this possible:
- Shuouma, who did 90% of the work with the POD and Monaco 2 ubisoft server
- leonelhammerl, a hardcore player of the game back in the days who took detailed notes about it, and helped a lot figuring out how the game works, how much things cost, bonus values, etc.
- all the people who helped test the game (and are still testing it every day): Scrivani, Toast, Nexus, and many more.
EDIT: No special network configuration is needed anymore. Just start the game and create a new player account.
Enjoy!!
