Official Sega Saturn NetLink Guide

I suggest you turn the network jitter level to low to avoid unnecessary latency. Reduces local ping time by roughly 200 milliseconds.

You're right, the jitter level will probably have to be played with. For the netlink at least, we'll have to find a balance. Too low of a buffer could lead to synchronization issues.

just tried it but its saying no answer I 'll PM'd you what I tried

This was working a few days ago, I powered everything off, and now it won't work. Very frustrating. I have some ideas but I'm not sure when I'll have the time to work on it.

Are you sure these can work without a voip provider? I was reading that you have to direct ip dial with a dialing plan

The dial plan defines what types of calls, numbers etc can be called. It's not a plan in the sense of a provider plan, think of it more as a config file.

Most of the documentation for direct IP dialing recommends adding a speed dial number to the dial plan. It makes it easy by defining a speed dial of say "34" as an IP address so you dony have to manually dial 127*0*0*1# everytime you want to dial that IP.

I had everything working before, I must have changed something since I last had it working. I need to go over everything again.

I updated the configuration screenshots.

I was missing a few things so that it can work over the internet. The adapter needs to know its public IP. The STUN server setting is supposed to take care of that, but I can't get it to work. I disabled that and manually entered my IP. Also, port 5060 only sends the signalling packets, you also have to forward ports 16384-16482 UDP to get the audio packets. I made a few other minor changes that may or may not have helped, but with the current setup I can call my dial-in server from the internet and hear the modem try to answer. I assume it should work now.

I'll try it this afternoon once I'm off work and let you know the results

Took some doing, but I think we have the setup figured out. We'll test some bomberman next. I'm cautiously optimistic Stay tuned.
