Added a minor update to the guide. If you find port 5060 not working, 4000 is also a option to try!

Found this cool project http://www.rockin-b.de/saturn-patching-planetweb.html maybe we could make a custom planet web browser to a section of dreampipe dedicated to the saturn. We could also put the voip Guide in it too, gonna look into this

Negative, the reason is because the Japanese Netlink games dialed some server up and then used a match making system to find the opponent. So worked like the Genesis/SNES games. Unless there's a special way to patch the Japanese games to work with the US Netlink... I know SEGARGPFAN was trying to figure something out on that.

The Japanese Xband games also use a different modem. The Japanese Xband modem is not interchangeable with the North American Netlink. I've heard there's a way to get the Japanese games to direct dial, but even if so, it would require people to have the Japanese modem. I don't know how many people would be willing to invest in both the JP and US modems.

Forgot to include the SIP tab settings, also found that RTP 0.030 produced very good results with bomberman. Both me and Hawk had a near lag free experience. Still need to test with other netlink games to see how it will treat them.

Enjoyed some bomberman and sega rally with hawkzero :D sega rally 1st race was flawless, 2nd race was flawless til the near the end we got a couple of hiccups. I think it also just comes down to netlink hardware bring old lol

After spending a few hours messing around the the files i am proud to release the ultimate version of web browser 3.0! It has all the links changed to either archived websites or dreampipe sites. It also includes xiden Voip guide built in complete with lots of pictures! Would have loved to have done version 4.0 but it turned out to be impossible. will also update it as time goes on with new links ect if dan make a saturn section. Also is hacked with jap and us region encoding
