Hell yeah I will try this when I am back from vacation in a few days! Thanks SailorSat!

Hey there,

This throttled node in the ring completely cured the flickering cars for me in Daytona and 2 nodes stay synced nicely while running in attract mode for about an hour.

As noted, it did introduce some audio stutter / dropout which did seem to change slightly based on the FPS setting under [speed]

Thanks for hacking around in the binary trying to fix this, it's much appreciated.

For those that dare to try...
DayontaThrottle - a rather simplistic piece of software that throttles the m2network to a specified framerate.

My 8-Player Daytona is running cpmpletly flicker free now...

In emulator.ini set Frameskip=0 and ForceSync=0
In m2network.ini set FrameSync=1

As for the throttle itself - think of it as an extra player.
I run mine between Player 8 and Player 1.

You can adjust the speed in throttle.ini
In my test 57.9 works well enough - at least with 8 machines roaring, i barely notice any audio drops from the slowdown.

Hi SailorSat do you also have a solution to fix the Segarally machines that have sudden jerky movements?

Just here for my monthly check-in and delighted i made the effort. This is great stuff, Sailorsat. Thanks for all the hard work!

Downloading now...

OK, it works really well! always connects firs time, no matter who goes first.

I do have a few notes. Firstly, that if you go into service menu and come out, the game will no longer network. Or anyway STCC won't. But now there's really no need to go into service menu when playing, so...

Secondly, a question about scripts. To get this to work properly, i had to get a fresh download of m2 emu 1.1a and overwrite the scripts folder, then place the new scripts on top of that. Is that the correct way? I notice that in the clean download there is a script called "daytona.lua" but the your new script is called "daytonas.lua". Same thing? Different roms? Anything we should be aware of?

Can this new hack be also used to cure flickering for multiplayer over Internet ?
