Topic: No serverlist 0.5.1 Win98SE

yup, I'm one of the cavemen still using that system, and I managed to run Teeworlds using it. There is one major problem: I'm unable to reach the serverlist. When I enter server address manually the game works, but I get no clue what to do to get the serverlist. I suppose I could check it using my friends computer and just use favourited servers only, but that's not a solution to the problem.

Waiting couple minutes doesn't work. I get "Refreshing haster servers" message over the serverlist.

So, what am I asking for is:
1. First of all, some info on how do the serverlists work. This might get me a clue on what is particularily wrong with my game instance. What I alredy know is that UDP is used to get the serverlist. What's the most important difference between the game connection and serverlist connection?
2. How to get the serverlist with some external application? Is there a web-based serverlist around here?
3. If everything else fails, I'd like to get some servers including dm instagib-dm instagib-tdm instagib-ctf.

Oh, I could also prepare some instructions on how to run Teeworlds on Win98SE. I couldn't find any info around here on if it's even possible, but it turns out  it is. And I'd like it to be clearly stated: it is possible, and way to make it happen is pretty simple. But as long as serverlists won't work, there's no good in posting the HowTo.

Re: No serverlist 0.5.1 Win98SE

I'm able to run TeeWorlds and other XP-games by usage of two packets:

Unofficial Win98SE service pack
KernelEx 4.0 RC2 kernelEx adds lots of WinAPI funcs which are not officially implemented under Win98SE/WinME.

After installing those two packets and drivers for graphic card / sound card I'm able to run the game. Please tell me if this works for you.
