Dreamcast-Talk (International) & Dreamcast-br (Brazil) has yet another game back online. This one is Toy Racer. For the first time, the original game server software has been released (thanks to petter3k who contacted No Cliche, the programmers of Toy Racer). Dreamcast-br has already had a server running, but we do not know if their server is the original or not (Igor Isaias Banlian was kind enough to allow us the IP addy to play). In both cases, the game only connects via BBA (dial-up wants to go to Dreamarena). Currently, DC-Talk is working on a boot-disc to allow the game GD-ROM to use dial-up.
To note, DC-Talk was where the "Netopia" method of connecting your DC to the internet without a PC of any kind. It has much less latency than the troublesome DC-PC server set-up. I use it, which is purely hardware driven (developed by brourke228). The other is the and the PC-DC windows/VMware server portion to work with the Ryochan Linux PC-DC server method (brourke228 of DC-Talk developed the Windows portion).
Here's the science bit:
Brazil IP: 200.165.140.20:2048
TCP Port: 2048
UDP Port: 2049
As stated, the guys at Dreamcast-Talk are working on a boot-disc to get Dreamcast gamers up and running with a dial-up connection, and are currently ironing out some issues with the remnants of Dream Arena at present. For a full guide on how to get online with Toy Racer right now though, follow this link; and be sure to check the DreamcastBr Facebook group for further updates.
It is important to clarify that efforts to keep online the Toy Racer server in Brazil are all of the Dreamcast Brazil Facebook group, on this link below:

The site and forum Dreamcast BR no longer exists, then, all the news about the Brazilian Toy Racer server will be posted on the Facebook group, linked above!
The server is free maintained by Pedro Oliveira, in a Brazilian datacenter, currently running on FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE.
Sorry for my bad English!

ReplyDeleteIs there a Netopia style hack for the UK market? Never heard of that brand over here!
ReplyDeleteGoogle tradutor.....I really think this kind of free information important after all the dream always continues.
