List of Network multiplayer capable games for twin converted cabs etc
vandale:
Ok so here is my current list of multi player link able racing games I have on my twin cabinet, this was my project once I caught Covid and was self isolating, its taken me 3-4 hours per day for a month to have all these games running reliably in Big Box on a twin linked cabinet without the use of a keyboard and mouse, it was important to be really user friendly for my Children and Nephews. I'm focusing on Arcade games here not PC games or Console games etc. If anyone needs some pointers on a certain game then by all means please ask. No don't send me a PM asking for a complete image of my HDD or file structure.

I've left out most of the Fast and Furious games as they are rubbish.
And these are the games that are not supported yet:

And the M2 games that I cant get a reliable link working:

1. Does demul support network link for Naomi games like Initial D 1,2 and 3?
2. Does mame support network link in the Cruisin series?
3. What am I missing, there has to be more!!!! Haha
Thanks :)

Nice list you have there! Btw, IDZero links fine.
For M2 STCC and OverRev, I seem to get a twin link link going pretty well. For each one i have a test menu key bound to a button. For STCC you exit the test menu on the slave cabinet half a second before the master. For OverRev the other way. TBH i do the same for Daytona, if the link seems wonky. I could never get Sailorsat's patch to work. There's a thread on here about having one cab launch games on both PC's, and that setup might be modified to automate this process, i guess - http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,164636.0.html
M2 Wave Race? Did you mean Wave Runner? I could never get it to link, originally, but i haven't tried the above method.
How does Manx TT play with a wheel? Ok, or a bit weird?
Demul does network, technically, but only between two instances on the same PC. Flycast has just started supporting Naomi 2, however, and it also supports network (for both Naomi 1 and Naomi 2). There's a recent thread about it - http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,166191.msg1754324.html#msg1754324.
Children and Nephews, yes :) I have 2x G25's, which have fewer buttons on the wheel. So commands to exit game and test menu and anything else that can interrupt play are all over on the shifter unit where they won't be bumped.

Thanks I will give IDZero a go, will flick you a PM.
Ok I will also add STCC and Overrev. I had Sailorsats patch working once and then it all fell over so gave up on that a long time ago. I could revisit it if I catch the next strain of Covid...
Manx TT plays ok, I prefer GP mode not TT mode but regardless of what version or cabinet setting I use I cant get rid of the lady saying stupid things during the races.
Demul and Flycast, yes I just read your other post, very interesting.
I have g27's and have removed the Logitech wheels and installed the Nardi Battlegear 2 wheels with a 3d printed adapter, these were originally on the cabinet as they are 330mm just like a real car, the Logitechs seem too dinky and the 6 red buttons look silly on the cabinet. Once Ive finally finished this project I will upload some pics.

Hi
Does anybody know where Teknoparrot saves test menu changes for each game or for all games?
I've checked it is not saving in inside the folder game nor the emulator folder. It is very strange.
I'm trying this with Outrun2. If I tried my ID car, the change will always remain there even If I delete the whole emulator and game folder, and then copy it again.
It seems it is saving these changes in some windows folder.
Thx in advance.

The naming conventions in there are weird though. For example i think SBUU is ID6. And OR2 is similar to that, being a Sega game as well. And it doesn't save ID game cards in there, IIRC (was that what you meant?)
