Is there an application where I can use AIM on my dreamcast?

This forum is for discussion pertaining to homebrew and indie software for the Dreamcast, such as homebrew games, emulators/interpreters, and other homebrew software/applications. Porting requests and developmental ideas are not to be made here; you can make those here. If you need any help burning discs for homebrew software, this is the place to ask as well.

Best bet would be to find a webpage based one, kinda like e-messenger, the web page based MSN client. You can use MSN trhough the dreamcast webbrowser. Unless there is an AIM client for DC, which I'm not too sure of, that would be your next best option.

There's aimexpress.aim.com, but I couldn't get that to work, and there's now an AIM thingy on e-messenger that sorta kinda works.

I've tested these with PlanetWeb 3.0 btw.

There's not really any avalible that works like any of the MSN messenger web-based ones but it's possible to use the IRC client on the Dreamcast web browsers. chrisfbt1 has mentioned a list of servers that support IMIRC. If you're looking for a sorta tutorial for what you need to do, then you can follow this link:
