Well done all for getting this game back online. I had this old magazine clipping showing the best 'Hall Of Fame' players from back in the day. I'll post it here for archive purposes.

Does my router need set to PnP? How are the ports handled locally?

Awesome although only see five cars to buy but should we refrain from saves/CB for unlocking all?

No need for UPnP or port forwarding.

The only way to unlock cars is to win driving points by racing against other players, and reach a higher driver class. Everything is stored on the server. Your VMU save only contains your username and password and some option settings.

This is amazing news, congrats to everyone involved!

I'm surprised that I haven't seen anyone bring up the really big news that this represents. With Speed Devils Online back online, every European-released Dreamcast game with online multiplayer is now playable online again! A huge milestone for the preservation of the Dreamcast experience! I wonder if we'll see the US or Japanese library completed next...?
