Hi all,
YEEEEEEEESSSS!!!!!!!!! I have also now tested and can indeed confirm the game is BACK ONLINE!!!!!! What else can I say, this is the biggest news to hit the Dreamcast online scen in years I can't believe it. My thanks go to: Blast: If it wasnt for him this investigation would never have begun Lordnikon: For generally being receptive to out ideas and tolerant of out nagging 
Moi: You may have missed his post, but I may not have found Tino without him Maddmaxx for trying the save before me...  ....I really would have loved to have made the announcement first but I had to sleep But I understand your excitement mate
Everyone who has helped: You have all been stars I cant thak you all enough And of course I helped a little bit 
OK, well...lordnikon, best pop the game back on the online games list and host the file/s somewhere on this site....wicked...Enjoy everyone Cheers, Craig BLAST.....WE DID IT!!!!!!!!!! PS: Here is a link to the page where to files are: http://pauth.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=1575#1575 until lord hosts them, which im sure he will Last edited by segadreamcaster on Sun Jan 16, 2011 5:30 pm; edited 1 time in total |

BLAST.....WE DID IT!!!!!!!!!!
Yeh we sure did 
Just outa interest I was looking back now at the posts and Lordnikon posted the Topic Maximum pool questions answerd on July 20 2004. Its taken just under 11 months and if my maths is correct 144 posts from both topics before Max pool was back online. No glory stealin mad max mate Im not worried about that although I bet everyone wishes they could have been first to announce it, just first come first serve realy. What Im realy interested in now is getting a copy of the game so I can play online bet ebay auctions gonna be hard to win now lol.

The main servers will probably go offline before I can ever get my DC-PC dialup server to connect. 
If anyone uses this type of configuration to connect, and have successfully made a connection, please post! The Dreamcast drops the connection before it even connects. I think it has something to do with the init strings, so if anyone knows of a site with a list of init strings for the Dreamcast, they would be greatly appreciated. - Dreamcast ™ |

I can't imagine the servers will be going offline anytime soon, so I shouldnt worry about that, the game is thriving online so pulling it down would have a big knock on effect Cheers, Craig |

Hi fallout,
Thanks for spreading the word, I have laso posted on a couple of forums to let people know...excellent...I am still in shock to be honest  I cannot believe it came about that easily in the end. All it took was someone who knew the game inside out, so what an excellent suprise.
PLEASE NOTE: Anybody who is thinking that this can be done for all game now...stop, as far as I know maximum pool was the only game this was possible with, even PBA bowling wouldn't work in the same way as there is no actual server, it was hosted by the DC or PC, plus the PC version is also offline apart from direct IP connection (although PC-C still hasnt been tested I dont think)...perhaps something can be done with PBA but its hard to know. But whatever don't think all games are suddenly gonna start coming back up, it wont happen...just in case people (especially noobs) think this is the start of DC online returning to its former glory. Cheers, Craig |

Actually, by the looks of it, someone who had never even heard of a Dreamcast could have done this. I'm surprised no one had figured this out until now. I took a look inside of the save file to see what he did or implemented and judging by what I briefly saw, all he did was just change the address. It looks like the server addresses are stored right in the save. Anyone with a downloaded save can open it up and take a look at it.
This isn't to say that this is necessarily how it was done. I haven't looking inside an original save yet. He may have implemented an enabling code to help redirect the DC's attention to the addresses in the save file. At any rate, well done everyone involved. Let's see many more successes! - Dreamcast ™ |

Yeah I think it was very easy in the end, but the fact that he knew all the current servers etc made it pretty easy for him, amazing really, how you just had to get it to the correct person.
Yeah we can certainly hope for more success to come...fingers crossed
Cheers, Craig |
