Yeah, I'm free tonight after 9:00. I'll send you my number. Text me and hopefully we can get it working! I have Rally and VO.

Download Saturn Region Patcher (S.R.P 3.0GE) from http://madroms.satakore.com/ then open the ISO's created from the Netlink Game originals :| in said program. Modify the region of each ISO to the same region as your Saturn. Patch each Image then Burn the resulting image in your favorite burner. This way you won't have to swap any carts while your Saturn is powered on potentially damaging both Saturn or carts.

p.s. i am in England and have a similar setup to yours if you want to try a more local connection 1st.

Excellent! Ill give the region changer a go. I think I may have actually used this in the past for a few saturn games but forgotten about it over time.

It would be great if we could have a UK connection game. Do you know of anyone else in the UK with a netlink? Do you have a VOIP adapter?

Ill be home on Saturday so we can give it a go after I get everything set up.

Got a connection working with Xiden and got a few Rally races in! It was laggy, but that was probably network congestion, so I'm officially in business!

I'm down for Sega Rally, Virtual On, and Duke 3D.

(And if anyone can tell me how to get Pseudo Saturn Kai working with the NetLink, I'd be on board for Bomberman and Daytona, too...)

I think it should work. The settings we're using aren't necessarily unique to the 1001, it's just the one we used to test everything. If you get an unlocked linksys model, the settings screens should be very similar and you shouldn't have a problem setting it up.
