Dreamcast has some dlc ;-)
But I'm agree there will be nothing more to come.

What you call DLC is some extra things downloadable for VMU, but Would you download game fixes in VMU ? Lol

After watching a few videos and reading more reports of players finishing this game, I'm even more convinced that there are two versions of this game out in the wild. I bought my Road Trip Edition through https://www.videogamesnewyork.com/. Ripped it to use on my GDEMU. No matter my settings, I can not catch up to the leader no matter how perfect I drive (I mainly use the Daytona style car). I finally got past a certain Career track by choosing the box car and blocking the other cars from passing me. I presumed it's hitbox was larger than the others. Or who knows, perhaps it's even faster than the others even though all car's max speed is supposedly 196. Even in Arcade Mode, I can't even seem to get into 2nd place unless I drive a perfect line. So far, this is the most unfun, aggravating racing game I've played in years. I do agree, the developers should send out a fixed CDI to those of us who purchased this game.

First thing I did was changed the controls to the triggers. Hardly brake, unless really sharp corners. I completed arcade first go. Career nearly all of that first go, just a few restarts on the don't hit the sides and the beach level on Career mode. I have Road Trip Edition (but all that just means it includes the soundtrack). I cruised through on my Dreamcast and in Redream.

You get the extra track after completing the career mode, I don't want to spoil that for any of you.

I genuinely feel they just wanted this done and out by the end.

I don't see any other way...
Except the cdi but not comfortable. Do you suggest an other idea ?

I found another bug, the best time in career it's not the best time of your actually race but the best time of all career mode...
My save was delete, in career one time. Now in order to be sure, I save in options, don't trust the autosave ^^

Okay, I didn't know you had a build too, I meant that if one was needed to set things right, I had it. I didn't mean to come across bragging :geek:

Is the duel mode fine in that build too?

Do you think they possibly burnt the wrong build on the cd's?

Only option is to have another build with all the fixes and a new cd sent to all buyers..
Download a fix on a VMU has never existed so far and it requires some skills for simple people, download from a website to your VMU is not like straight forward (and not all the people have dreampi or BBA) or a way to transfer files from pc to VMU
