What are "specs"? 2. How do I get D coins if i'm offline? 3. Does anyone have the updated menus translated because the old ones dont show up in the introduction thread. It would be nice if anyone responded. [ Post made via Mobile Device ] |

I'll try and answer the questions for you. 1. Specs are basically what I call "upgrade levels". It just shows how far you've upgraded your car and how good it will be, if you will. Each spec upgrade until FullSpec just improves your car ever so slightly until it undergoes the..."real physic"(?) I'll call it. 2. Can't. Period dot. It needs internet access to access the D Coins, D net and all that. Best to forget it at all. 3. Uh...someone get on that. I didn't do any of this beforehand. |

D coins are no longer available. [ Post made via Mobile Device ] |

Click here to view the image in its original dimension. This is one of the old picture of the Settings menu that I saved. This is probabaly the most important one. The rest I'll try and take picture next time I go to arcade and provide an explanation for the functions. That might be a few days form now at the earliest, kinda busy these days.

And just to clarify again, if I have a blank card, I can ask someone to put it in the machine and run through the "new card" process. Then i have my membership card. [ Post made via Mobile Device ] |

Nagao Fanboy Group: Advanced Members Posts: 2,068 Member No.: 36,182 Joined: Aug 27th 2010 Location: The Internet, DUH | Yeah basically, put it in and go through the purchase phase. The game will ask you to choose a gender for your avatar, enter a six-character name and choose a car. For the record, you cannot change the gender or name later on so please think carefully about this. You only get a limited time on the machine to decide these things so better to decide beforehand so you know what to input when you go through with it. Same goes for car too. You get three slots for cars for one card but upgrading the car is such a time consuming process that it's a huge investment so please do your research and decide what you want too so you don't regret it later. You may want to refer to Time Attack rankings on the pinned topic to get a general idea of the strong cars, mid, and weak cars. This post has been edited by SonicSP on Feb 1 2017, 12:45 AM |

This would go on Time Attack rankings and such. It's only six characters - as in six letters - so your options are limited anyways. Honestly, a username isn't a bad idea since it protects your privacy a little bit but it's really not that much difference since people will see you anyways. |

Nagao Fanboy Group: Advanced Members Posts: 2,068 Member No.: 36,182 Joined: Aug 27th 2010 Location: The Internet, DUH | Lucky for you, I just happened to have a picture of the keyboard taken recently, so you can use it to refer their instructions to. Image size reduced, original size: unknown. Click here to view the image in its original dimension. We EXP machines don't have to press it apparently cos it goes to the alphanumeric by default which explains why I can't remember what to press I guess. But your JPN machines will need to press the toggle to switch it first. This post has been edited by SonicSP on Feb 3 2017, 12:46 PM |

Nagao Fanboy Group: Advanced Members Posts: 2,068 Member No.: 36,182 Joined: Aug 27th 2010 Location: The Internet, DUH | For an offline machine, if the top left corner has two red scrolling bars on it, it means there are no cards. If there's only one, it should have at least one card left in its reserves. This post has been edited by SonicSP on Feb 5 2017, 09:31 PM |

You can't literally delete your car into oblivion, but you can replace your unwanted car with a fourth car. The replaced car will retain its last Spec, but not the progress of the current tuning. To replace the car, go to Garage and pick the extreme right option. You will be prompted to pick the car you want to replace and then directed to car selection menu. | ||
