Any resources for programming the NetLink?

[johnki]

I've just started becoming interested in Sega Saturn development, mostly in Assembly, as opposed to C, and was wondering if any Sega NetLink resources existed. I've been looking for a while but can't seem to find anything.

Thanks in advance!

This Yabause wiki page is the only thing I know of.

Alright, thanks. Are there guides to sending messages via the SMPC in assembly? Nevermind, there's a whole guide on the registers which should be enough.

However, I am having issues finding samples written in ASM. Are there any floating around or maybe even disassembled games that I can sort of learn off of?

For general assembly examples, just looking at compiler output is a good start. SH assembly is pretty easy to pick up if you have previous experience of some load-store architecture, and it is so reduced in nature there's not many "tricks" to learn.

Gotcha. After posting that, I found the Saturn Samples thread here on SegaXtreme. Other than that, since it's minimal, I should be fine using only the programming guides right?

I compiled some data in the wiki too ...

I have some assembly examples for the Saturn here, here, here and here.

Thanks guys.

Runik, mostly I was looking for "semi-complete" examples in assembly that illustrate things like program flow and such. However, more resources never hurt.
