The Sega Saturn NetLink League

as of latly i've become more interested in creating software for the Sega Genesis CD 32X which utilizes both the cd add-on and the 32X. the 32X addon provides 2 Hitachi SH2 processors at 23mhz providing 40MIPS

how hard would it be to build new server code?

yes but if we cannot accomplish this, than we might be able to make an entirely new modem based off of Xband's

i thought someone on here has the server hosting software? i really still have hope that we can pull this off, or even create a new xband modem

Im curious if you guys want i can possibly hook, a computer to the sega genesis Xband, and see if any packets go though, and have a packet sniffer so we can study the modem better

I'm curious but in your opinion, which would be easier to develop for? the playstation? or sega Saturn?

I'd be better off using the usb data link cable as the 4mb replay isn't enough for what i want to do probably

I'm also curious what in all is required to program games for the saturn? is it possible to create a program on the computer and have some kind of transfer cable going to the saturn? and run the program from the computer to the saturn? or do i need to put it on a disc, and then put it on the saturn?

now one major drawback for all of this is i need to get a computer, which i probably will be doing this friday, i will probably be getting a cheap 150mhz-300mhz laptop running windows 95, maybey windows 98 if im lucky. the computer specs should sufice for making stuff for the saturn

pulsating water would be an interesting feature thanks for the idea, one thing is i'm not so good with making a 3d sketch but i will try to make a decent sketch. I also remember hearing in the past water is the most difficult thing to make for graphics.

the internet browser should still be compatible with AT&T and Earthlink.

I have a few ideas of what the visualizations will look like. one will have the good ole fashion bar equilizer that has water underneath it with reflection of the equilizer itself, jamming to the beat, and a few others will make playstation 1's soundscope look like a shaam

I think i will make at least 15 different Visualizers for the system to give people more selection when using the Cd player

comparing making a visualizer, to making a game would making a visualizer take less time to make, and be less complicated?

this is a good time to develop an External hardware accelerator, or someway to speed up the way the system works
