Jet Grind Radio: Can you still upload your own pics/tags online?

OK, late last month I started playing JGR again, I used to have fun uploading pictures into the game (such as a nice gif of Air Zonk with his tongue hanging out). Now I can't seem to get it to work. The JGR disc browser connects but not to the JGR homepage which I assume is long gone. Would you still need to use the homepage to upload custom tags and pictures or is there another way? I still have my old personal tags (like the Zonk tag) saved to my beefy 4 block VMU, how would I get those uploaded?

AFAIK, you needed to go to the homepage. Unfortunately, all of Sega's DC pages have been taken down.

Because Sega is now ghey, I mean really.. how much would it cost them to piggy back that onto there current hosting.. the traffic would be low...

Is it like Wonderboy? Looks nifty.

*Goes back to being sad about not being able to upload custom graffitti.* :(

From what I remember, you can actually just go to any site and pick any JPG. Should still work if you can get your Dreamcast to connect.

X + B over a JPG to save it, I think.

The thing is after I connect I cannot for the life of me get the address to change from the JGR homepage URL.

Ahh, that's right. And there's absolutely nothing on the JGR homepage?

I think you might've been able to use the later versions of the standard Dreamcast browser to save JPEGs to use in JGR. I remember some way of doing that, and I don't think it involved finding some link to a search engine from the official JGR site.

If you have a DC memory card that can connect to the PC, you can mod any jpg to work with a little hex editing. Very easy to do, it's what I use for me own tags. There's a faq on how to do it on gamefaqs.

This thread reminded me how much I fucking love this game. I fired it up when I got home tonight and beat a new level (the one where the guys in suits chase you with flamethrowers) with Cube. Man, this game rules.

Stella Deus. New SRPG by Atlus that they are busily translating for the US market at the moment. It's not perfect or revolutionary, but it's fun for me.

Word to your mother. I still play JGR a bit every couple of months. It's worth keeping the DC hooked up for that alone.

Stella Deus? Any relation to Epica Stella, the SRPG brought here by Working Designs as Vanguard Bandits? If so, I'm interested.

Yup. And it's amazing how little it's aged. Still looks/plays/sounds great.

Merged into Amusement Vision, who was merged back into internal Sega R&D.

So is the new AV the group working on Spikeout for the Xbox, or is it just the original team, but the development team names haven't been changed in listings for the game?

Is Jet Set Radio really worth getting? I played the Level 1 demo back at the time of its release and didn't fall in love with it. Is the full game really that much better? Should I get it? I know it's cheap but I'm sick and tired of buying games on other people's say-so and disliking them.

I dunno, I really think JGR is one of the best games ever. Wildly innovative, perfect concept and execution, control, level design, etc. Just a really amazing game. SmileBit was firing on all cylinders and they just really outdid themselves.

Sadly, Jet Set Radio Future was as bad as JGR was good.

So you can just get a USB adaptor for the official VMU?

Hmmm, I just read a tag guide on gamefaq which says I can leave the JGR URL by clicking on the link tab then going to yahoo. But this is a guide from '01 so I will have to see. For now though I think I now know how to get my old saved Air Zonk "tag" back into the game.

No, you need a 3rd party mem card with a PC connection. The usual import online stores might still have them in stock.

I'll give it a chance then.

Well, I found my old tags on another VMU including my Air Zonk tag and some Sifl and Olly (including one Chester) tags I forgot about. I zoomed all over the Kogane construction area (probably my fave level, love 'Rock the House' or whatever track that is) spraying pics of Zonk, Sifl and Olly. Also, I was able tag and down all three helicopters. whoo Then I chased down the Noise Tanks and sprayed pictures of Chester on their backs. :D

Now I just gotta find a way to get some new tags in. Guess I will have to track down one or two of those PC VMUs.

Damn that game is taking forever to come out, I hope they have a small team on it or I don't see how they'll make back dev cost. *-neo
