Made a critical update to netlink zone. I found out how to access the full email service on the netlink games so now you can now check and send email with attachments within netlink zone games.

If are within the same continent it works well. Beyond that the lag is currently too high to play. Hopefully we can find faster solutions in the future though.

Hi! I recently ordered a NetLink modem and am interested in playing some Saturn games online. I have a Phoebe ODE so I can play all games. I'm from Austria so I'd play with europeans preferably.

Are there still any people playing?

(However I have some exams upcoming and will be moving after so it might be over a month out)

Finally got around to playing some online matches with Tgames, was pretty stable for the most part but it seems like it keeps getting laggier the longer you play. We both have fibre connections and I live in Austria and he lives in France. If anyone has any suggestions to combat this issue it would be greatly appreciated!

Saturn Bomberman and Virtual On are pretty much unplayable, which is why they're not shown here. I might also stream/record my matches at some point over at twitch.tv/miba, I was too lazy to set up my equipment again ;)
