List of Network multiplayer capable games for twin converted cabs etc

[trick72]

Is anyone able to run Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune 6 via Teknoparrot linked in a LAN? I don't need bananapass support or anything, just a local 2 player match on both of my cabs would be fine. Can this be done?

Someone should add Thrill Drive 3 to the list of working multiplayer network games. The way you network this is the same as networking other PS2 games with PCSX2's network adapter (be sure to enter test mode and change the network ID for other instances/machines).

This game is also known for having rather bad netcode to the point other player cars tend to jump at random (at least on actual Thrill Drive 3 cabs). It may or may not happen in emulation (if not, then this may be the best way to play multiplayer Thrill Drive 3).

Decided to attach some old screenshots of me running two instances of PCSX2 on one PC connected via a bridged TAP adapter.

Are you talking Arcade version or PS2?

Are you talking Arcade version or PS2?

Short answer: Arcade because there was never a PS2 port to begin with.

Long answer: Thrill Drive 3, running on Konami Python 2, uses a stock SCPH-50000 MB/NH PS2 and official network adapter. Because PCSX2 has LAN support using the network adapter and Python 2 USB support was advancing well, I asked myself if it was possible to link up Thrill Drive 3 (let alone a hacked version) in PCSX2 the same way you'd link other PS2 games with ethernet LAN multiplayer. Unsurprisingly, it worked.

Medium answer: There's a special fork of PCSX2 that works with Konami Python 1/2, Konami Bemani Python games, and the Namco System 246 games, which were based off PlayStation 2 hardware. If you Google "pcsx2 python2 fork" the very first link should take you to somewhere to download it.

Hi,

I just successfully set up Burnout 3 TakeDown, with  Pcsx2. I have a HD texture pack + patched the game to be compatible with the revived online servers.
My G29 are supported by the emulator. After set up, you can create two accounts (one for each PC) and play one against the other. Tested myself. Really cool!

Thats awesome.  thanks for the update!

I was just debating on trying to get some PS2 games working on my cabinets.

Sega Dirt Showdown works with TeknoParrot.
I edited the ini files, adding my IP adresses and giving a different ID for each cabinet. It worked at first try so I do not know whether the IP adresses were really necessary.
I am a bit disappointed with the game using my G29 wheel. FFB effects are mainly rumble there is not a strong feeling of driving.
