"Two big challenges were getting the game to run at a high enough frame rate while also fitting the levels into memory for Dreamcast. Some compromises were made in terms of which levels could be supported and the number of players that we could support with online play. I would have loved to support more than four players in an online game. Bumping that number up to 8, 12, or even 16 players would have made a huge difference!! I also would have loved to get additional new maps into the game or a Dreamcast specific level editor would have been amazing as well!"

There are some commands inside the game's main binary that are hinting towards a possibility to turn off the 4 players limit. such as:Code: Select all
sv_maxclients 4
Code: Select all
maxclients 4
However there are also indications that the number of allowed clients is hardcoded:Code: Select all
client1.client2.client3.client4
This might as well be part of the splitscreen code though,
so unless somebody changes the commands above to "maxclients 8" and "sv_maxclients 8" in both game binary and the server config files accordingly, we'll never know.

i could maybe try to do this later tonight using SDISO, but i would have to rig up a server too unless somebody else here wants to help in that regard (but they would also need an SD reader because i'm out of CDRs)
