F355 Challenge online server revival

[flyinghead]

Hey guys,

I have been working on reviving the online features of F355 Challenge. The Network Race feature seems to be working fine after some testing.
It's still rough around the edges at this point but should get better over time.
It's only been tested with Flycast but should work with original hardware as well.

Let me know if anyone is interested in testing it.

That's great!!! I was working with f355 leaderboard but I'm stucked decoding save file. Did you know if in challenge is using some kind of encryption?. Good job and if need help to testing count on me

I only briefly looked at race data save files and didn't spot any obvious data. I can only say that network race data doesn't seem to be encrypted.

I've got a physical copy and a dreampi. I'd love to test it out!

Incredible! Wasn't expecting this at all. If all goes well, two of the best racing games on the Dreamcast will have come back online within a year.

I have a PAL copy of the game and I'm very happy to help with testing if possible!

I am available for the test
