List of Network multiplayer capable games for twin converted cabs etc
jacko1:
Anyone have a list of MAME driving (or all types I guess) games that work with multiplayer across LAN / multiple PCs?
EDIT: On the problem I first posted, I tested with 0.212 (current latest) and it worked, so for some reason my mame 0.200b installation doesn't wanna work with network multiplayer. Afaik this worked as far back as 0.166 so no idea what the issue is, I might just update to 0.212 as long as all my configs and nvrams work with it.

Well... you have to set up OutRunners for network mode - In the Service Menu there is an Option "Network Assignments".
Other than that... MAME 0.200? Jeez - that seems old.
Also you need to make sure the ring is closed - so setting the any remotehost to 127.0.0.1 (or omiting) won't work for sure.
Ah and make sure the games are using the same settings - one machine on "normal" vs. one on "grand prix" mode won't work either.

Thanks. I didn't test much with Outrunner, mostly Virtua Racing which I tested a million different ways until finally trying the latest MAME and getting it to work.
I don't know exactly how old 0.200 is, I was thinking maybe a year and a half? I've never updated MAME though, I mean I don't know how to do it properly to preserve all settings, Service Menu settings, all that stuff. I've never looked into it even. I guess you just keep the ini files and the cfg and nvram directories?
The only long term MAME install I have is a very old one with Hyperspin that once I had working the way I wanted with the controller I wanted, I never messed with it again. I've been copying it and/or running it from a USB drive for many years.

F1 Super Lap will network in MAME as well. Same system boards as Outrunners, i think? Probably different settings in the service menu, of course, but nothing to complicated or i wouldn't have it running :)
