Shuoma, I see that you add the create room option, but the predefined rooms have disappeared. (I like that rooms hehe)

If I create a room, when will be delete this room?

Thanks you

You can't delete your own rooms, but I have a timer which will delete the rooms after X h.
I still have the Quick Battle! room which is a static room.

Thanks for the feedback, I will adjust the server as the players want it :)

Hi
So as jial said, I have added alittle new stuff today:

1. Create your own game room - Create your own game room with/without password
- Gets deleted after X h
- If you leave password blank = no password, as the orig. server
2. If you press X on a game room you will be able to see which user have created it
3. Added more functions to stabilize timeout issues and ranking update
4. If you press X on a user, you now also see how many players on one console they have chosen
5. Top ranking moved to first menu

then you will return the predefined rooms?, thanks for the fast answer, today I play a match with a friend and was fantastic, there is a little bit lag, but as I know, in the original server had also lag, maybe for the 33k modem, jeje.

Thanks again shuouma :) :) :)

Hi

They are already back
Yeah the lag is actually in the game not the server.

How long were you working on this behind the scenes?
Will the CCR login database (if there is one) be intergrated with the DreamArena stuff (I think) you and Kazade are working on?

Now we just have to recruit more people to play regularly. That's what all of my dreampipe/skype stuff has been aiming to do. I have some other ideas in that front too 8-)

Having at least 4 people in everything at all times would be pretty nice. Dreamcast online is a hipster trend waiting to happen, I've been saying this for a long time
Hi
This game took me roughly 2 month, that is, when time was given.
The DB I created for ChuChu is pretty much DreamArena compliant,
but right now the DreamArena registration is not prio. 1.
I'm working on another game, so perhaps after that.

Shuouma, one question. Few days ago, I read that original chuchu rocket server you could select a server from a list. is it a part of server software or a dreamarena feature that send a master list to chu chu rocket client?.

Thank you

UPDATE: I've found where I read it -> http://dreamcast-talk.com/dcarchive/CHU ... lobby.html

Maybe we will one day, lets get the us and pal games back online first. I think we don't any japanese online games online yet is because japan uses a different coding for online
