If you wanna have tag battles, then the server will also be in consideration (if that's what you are looking for in terms of maintenance.) It'll be better to define a little detailed about it. The machines have to be registered with SEGA ALL.NET service first before connecting online. If you are from the US, then there's no chance of hooking it up to ALL.NET even you have the server. VPNs won't work Keep in mind there is game regions, EXP versions and Japanese versions. In the US, it should be mostly JPN versions as Round 1 mostly uses JPN versions. (Confirmation needed, US players). So make sure what version does it comes with, if its EXP version then it should show (Ver 1.2 +EXP), else if its the JPN version then it should just (Ver 1.2). You might come across like (Ver 1.2 + A) or (Ver 1.2 + C Rev. 2) , indicating its version its updated to. Another heads up with the region issue, cards can only work with its registered region. Lets say a card registered on a JPN machine can only be used on JPN machines and does not work on EXP machines and vice versa Hope that helps This post has been edited by Akii on Sep 3 2015, 02:02 AM |

Better to purchase from SEGA themselves I suppose. Not sure how much they cost but 1 whole box of cards has 100 blank cards This post has been edited by Akii on Sep 5 2015, 08:30 PM |
