Hello, I am wondering if anyone can recommend a web host that will load web pages / fan sites without issue on the Netlink. I have tried a few where my pages load just fine on the Dreamcast Browser or PC Borwser, but get a multitude of errors (not found, html, etc) when trying to view them on the Netlink.
I am using the Planetweb 2.0 Browser for the Netlink.

Re: Netlink-Friendly Web Hosts
The big issue with the Saturn's browser is it is just *ages* behind the Dreamcast's. The internet was evolving rapidly in the nineties, and 1996 vs 1999 is a pretty big gap. Plus, the Saturn is far less capable.
I have my Saturns, I have some of my games, I have a RasPi. Gotta put all this stuff together!
Re: Netlink-Friendly Web Hosts
Thanks for the response Warp2063. There are quite a few websites I found that still load ok on the Saturn, just not my own. I wonder if there is a way to find out who is hosting those pages that work.
Re: Netlink-Friendly Web Hosts
Generally, the closer to plain old HTML 1.0 the site is, the more likely it will work. If you can obtain newer revisions of the PlanetWeb browser, that might help too.

Re: Netlink-Friendly Web Hosts
Update: Just as Warp2063 predicted, I got version 3.0 of the browser off of eBay and it worked like a charm. My test pages loaded just fine using the same host(s).

Glad to hear it!
