Experimental network kernel builds for download

[hpingel]

As I have currently not much time I have decided that I will publish an experimental Sidekick64 network kernel build here from time to time in this discussion. On Forum64.de I have a group of network testers where I normally post new experimental kernels for testing. This group exists since 2021 and is currently also not very active (like myself) I thought it is the best to post the kernels here publicly instead.

Why not just post experimental kernels as an alpha release? My opinion is that an experimental build is less stable or has more bugs than a tested alpha release should have. An experimental kernel build is normally just provided to my network tester group and may (in the worst case) not even boot - but this happens rarely. Still, it is a build that will not make your life easy and fun. It is just a build that might work partly or mostly if we are lucky.

Due to my current time constraints I don't do any promises: I don't promise to fix bugs that are reported here. I don't promise to release updates regularly.

In this zip archive there are two kernels. Pick one: The bigger one uses libopenmpt for modfile playback and supports more modfile formats. The smaller one uses pocketmod for modfile playback as does the Sidekick64 vanilla kernel by Frenetic.
