Restored: Sonic Adventure Chao Daycare

Post#1 » Mon Jan 30, 2017 7:30 pm

Today, Jial and Tyro finished reverse engineering the Chao Daycare online feature for Sonic Adventure

With Chao Daycare, you can upload your Chao to share with the community, and download Chao others have uploaded

Simply place a Chao on the VMU transporter, highlight a VMU, then press and hold Y+A until you hear the chime. You can then go to "Internet" in the main menu. Redirection should be automatic, but use Dreampi DNS for good measure

Once at the Homepage go to: Community --> Chao Gardens --> Chao Daycare
---------------------------------

For the many new people in the DC online scene, other online features for Sonic Adventure have been restored recently:

- World Rankings, you can upload you times, high scores, and ring scores. Occasionally for DLC prizes like a new Chao or special Chao

- VMU DLC events like Rebook contests from 1999-2000, you can upload your scores and clear times to a leaderboard like World Rankings

------------------------------------

To use the Sonic Adventure online features, you need to create an account on http://bb.dreampipe.net
This is due to the SegaNet ID storing in flashrom is now long since defunct

You can register using any Dreamcast browser.
However, posting on the forum does not work currently using NTSC versions of Sonic Adventure. PAL versions should work if you disable Javascript

---------------------------

Have fun everyone!
(Don't forget to thank Jial and Tyro for the months it took them to complete this 8-) )

Really nice to see Sonic Adventure being 100% restored in it's functionality, just like it did in '99! :)

Next step reverse engineer how the DLC packages are put together and create new events?
