I'm happy to announce another website has been restored and brought back online! Buggy Heat has a online mode (JP Only). Special thanks to Roareye for restoring the site!
This site featured leaderboards which are currently offline but down the road we will have more leaderboards restored. At this point we want to just upload as many sites as possible and then we'll complete the features as they become available.

FYI you will likely see a pretty rapid releasing of lots more of Roareye's work soon as I'm just now getting the free time to be able to work on Dreamcast things again. Just have to continue ironing out redirection fixes.

Your dreampi will automatically direct you to the website in the game! Enjoy!

The Japanese Buggy Heat (TNN Motorsport in the US - which also happens to be the worst of the three versions in terms of content) has some interesting features.

As well as online uploadable leaderboards, it also includes "DLC" called AI Racers. You create an AI Racer yourself and train it how to race by playing the game. It will then try to emulate your best movements and develop into a better Racer. Sega ran tournaments with these where, from what I can see, players submitted Racers, a race was created with those AI which is recorded as a replay file and then you can watch how well your AI stands up. Fascinating feature, and an interesting way around actual online play.

By the way these Japanese sites have also been translated so don't worry about a language barrier is no

Man I would of loved to see the inner working of how they got that to run. Funny how to think it’s almost like a predecessor to the drivsers in the new Forza games.

Nice to see the websites being brought back and you guys are killing it.
