no, no, no man, it was the same with me... just forget the competition and play for a while. When you chill the times will improve themselves, trust me. Really!

you can connect it through your dreamcast, upload & download ghosts into your VMUs and beat them "in real" on track. the feature is available for both MSR and F355 ans it is very addictive ! :)

Nah, I'm pretty sure it's just because I suck at racing games! :lol:

I was amazed by how F355 grew on me when i was "forced" to play it for prolonged periods. Being a big arcade fan (CT, Daytona, RUSH) i was never too much into this one. But being an actual arcade sim meant that it has this special, hidden tricky hook to it, as any good coin-op game. And when i found it, a magical gate opened and i felt like i'm playing Daytona or Outrun!

pcwzrd13, what happened to your page man? I get an error since a couple of weeks.


Cheers!

You talking about Dreamcast Live? The website is up and running so the problem must be on your end.

Wow, im using Opera and until recently it all worked well, but now it says "We are sorry, a system error has occurred. Please try again later." Tried Chrome and the website works as before... so yes the problem is on my end, but what did Google change? :P
