The Rune Jade CDI is now available again. Turns out I made a stupid mistake while making the last one. The new one is tested and working. 👍

Fun fact: Rune Jade's release was delayed a month due to a couple changes they had to make at the last minute, including reducing the max number of online players from 5 to 4 and increasing the VMU save file size from 41 to 198 (essentially a whole VMU).

@louisseganerd I mean it has a "simulation" mode. ;)

What's your favorite online multiplayer simulation racer on the Dreamcast?

[Dreamcast Live @dclivenet]

@benard_jeremie Je considère Toy Racer davantage un jeu de course de karts que comme un jeu de course d'arcade classique.

Doing an online RPG double-feature today! Going live an hour early and playing both PSO and Rune Jade! https://t.co/7p21E9nt9H

Not sure how I feel about playing the game with friendly fire but the manual says it's "arguably the most exciting mode".

[Dreamcast Live @dclivenet]

Made a slight update to the Rune Jade translation. "Co-op" mode is now "Friendly" mode. This makes more sense as both modes are co-op but in "Battle" mode, friendly fire is turned on.

I also translated the message that tells you if a password is incorrect when joining but it hasn't been tested yet.

[Dreamcast Live @dclivenet]

@theguythatwalks Bummer. Well I guess I'll have to leave it up to someone else to make a CDI as I'm not sure what to do. I only know the basics.

The world's first online RPG on a console (no, it wasn't PSO) has been resurrected! Rune Jade is now back online! https://t.co/VeDKvcImje

[Dreamcast Live @dclivenet]

Interesting. I think maybe I've heard of it before. It's a very primitive first attempt though. It's all turn-based and you can't actually see other players moving around. In that sense I guess I guess you might consider Habitat on the C64 to be the first. It depends on your definition of a console and an RPG. But Rune Jade would be the first traditional online RPG on a console I think.
