Maximum Pool Problem

Post by SHaMROCK_73 »

Hello, whenever I try to play Maximum Pool. I go online and it connects successfully fut on DREAMCAST NOW it doesn't show me playing Maximum Pool, it shows that I am playing whatever I played last time, prior to this. I have seen it show ChuChu Rocket and Next Tetris.

Sometime I see others playing Maximum Pool, but when I go online there is never anyone there...

Am I doing something wrong? I am using a DreamPi to go online ...

Maximum Pool only shows up on Dreamcast Now if you're not using the save file. If you're using the save file, it doesn't make a DNS request which means Dreamcast Now can't know what game you're playing.

Max pool does whatever it wants. Sometimes it shows up correct and sometimes it shows me on nothing. BTW that dc live save file used to screw up the cutthroat game mode until recently. I think Xiden replaced that one.
