Thanks a lot for this fantastic tutorial. 
 
	I do have issues with 8008 and 6503 here. (8008 shows up upon launch, then 6503 error emerges if I ever try to use Aime for saving).
 
	My network setup is somewhat complicated and my gateway for main router at home is 192.168.4.1 instead of 192.168.4.0. However, teknoparrot does not respect this and keeps changing my gateway in segatools.ini back to 192.168.4.0. I am not sure if this is where the problem originates. 
 
	I have tried other things. DNS is set to Google ones (8888 and 8844), no DVD drive is attached to my PC, I waited for over 5 mins after launching the game but Aime still does not work.
 
	Upon inspecting minime's cmd.exe, I could see log attached below. I would really appreciate it if someone is willing to help.
