Hello folks! Old timey poster here, back hoping for some Daytona link mode help.

I recently had to order a new racing seat, because my new G29 wheel has a giant pedal board that won't fit on my playseat (original, from 20 years ago) seen here, in the top right corner:

So now, I'm going to have 2 seats and 2 FFB wheels. I ordered a monitor stand for the old playseat (2nd player) and before I shell out on a big monitor, build a new 4 speed shifter (bought the 2nd happ cruisin stick already) and buy a used PC on ebay, I figured I'd better check on the state of things.

Is it possible to run Daytona smoothly on 2 PCs? My understanding is I only need the lag fix on the master machine, correct? I hear everyone talking about live cam but I'm not sure what that is. If I just want to run 2 players and have the audio and everything sync up nicely, what do I need?

Should I download the lagfix from the Github address? I originally saw a link to it in a youtube video pointing to a .de site, but Firefox kept blocking it like a virus or something.

I am at your mercy, gentlefolk, so please help me start my engines! ;)

Also, here's a cheery Mitsuyoshi to brighten your day!

Thanks!!!!

EDIT: Also, I can't seem to figure out how to download the lagfix from the github site.

Depends on the specs of your 2 PCs. I have same setup as you. Daytona USA (Model 2 version) runs perfectly smooth multiplayer with both PCs linked over LAN cable. Same with Daytona USA 2 (Model 3, Supermodel) and most Teknoparrot games. My PCs are MinisForum HX99G, so they are pretty capable of playing both old and new games very smooth.

Perhaps you are talking about the Teknoparrot version of Daytona Championship USA? I think that is the one that requires webcams to work.

Does anyone know why networking with Waverunner on Model 2 is not yet working?

Because the networking in M2emu isn't finished. We're lucky to have it at all, really :) Elsemi, the dev, got up to where he got up to and stopped very abruptly. Rumour has it Sega was watching development, and was so impressed they hired him (under all sorts of NDAs) to work for them porting games to other platforms like VC.

FYI Waverunner GP on Naomi will network in Flycast, but it doesn't control well with a wheel.

USSDG:
Wow, fascinating insight. Thank you for that bit of info. Yes, indeed, we truly are lucky to have it at all, but so sad it is unfinished. M2 is the Edward Scissorhands of emulators.

This is not a topic but a historical document! Congratulations SailorSat, Nuexzz and everyone who put in the effort.
