I had issues today trying to download a key file too - I'm using a DreamPi, and here's what I tried:
  • Accessing the website via the game itself didn't redirect me to the correct Dreampipe URLs (this was using an NTSC GD-ROM on a PAL console, via disc swap)
  • I received a 404 error on the key generator page when accessing via DreamKey 3.0 (and my laptop for that matter). I've tried using both an automatic DNS and the Dreampipe one, and I seem to have created a Dreampipe account too (though it wasn't very clear if I was logged in)
All the same, it's very exciting to see this getting so close to completion, excellent work.

I haven't had a chance to fix the link on the main page yet but there is a key icon you can click when you select the homepage option from game menu, its right abvoe the globe.

As for the redirect not working as you sure its a usa daytona copy?

It's definitely a legit NTSC GD-ROM. The homepage with the key icon loads (presumably because that page is on the disc?), but all of the links on the page are broken due to being non-Dreampipe addresses. Does the DreamPi detect the console's region? I wonder if it's not redirecting properly due to being a PAL console.

Shouldn't make a difference, do other game homepages work? Like sonic adventure for example? Could be your isp maybe blocking dns redirect. Do u have any screen shots?

Redirects seem to work fine for my PAL games - I've used the sites for Rayman 2 and Sonic Adventure directly from their respective discs.

I'll get some screenshots tomorrow :)
