Thanks Hobo freak...you made me unhappy...LOL.
Now it´s answered....the lobby works not the games you create. I see my own game but nobody can notice the created games.
Thanks a lot. Anyway with a bit of effort the chances to get it online still exists.

I agree it's one of the closest games to being brought back online.

People have tried with ps2 server. (They still host a lot a PS2 games) But they won't do it. You would have better luck contacting the developers/ distributor of the product

Yes guys...let´s try to do something while we still have a chance. Can we host it on dc talk or something? One more game online for dc would be great!
* Of course, dreaming is easier than doing it...I don´t really understand
how much work programers would need to port it here.

You would need a lot of work. I am not even a programmer. What the hacker would be doing would guessing how the software works and hoping it can connect. It is very complicated. But you could take a look at how starlancer or 4x4 evo works and maybe there similar?

The lobby looks a lot like Max.Pool. Maybe that´s the model to be followed.

Unfortunately the best guy for the job (Smith) is gone so it will be tough. I am taking a beginner programming class next year in high school but I don't think basic javascript will help. If you want to find out some info you can ask Bob Dobbs maybe? He tried to get Unreal Tournament online and that used gamespy I think so I don't what he would know. You would need a lot of time to get it going.

I will get help and try anyway. I know some guys who created a Pso BR ship on Schthack server, maybe they can help.
However...what do you mean by "Smith is gone"???
