no joy :(

once we figure this out, i'll post the config to getting virtua racing full screen with network to help others skip this pain :)

MrThunderwing:
This is the config I use to get it to run fullscreen with no letterboxing - I think this was using the same advice that I got from SailorSat that she's already already given you here though. Give it a try and see if it helps though.

I have a cabMAME question myself: If you're running multiple instances of it on a single PC, only the 'open' window seems to register any joypad inputs. Is there any way to get the other windowed versions of MAME to register a joypad when they're not the selected window (if you know what I mean)?

Edit: NVM, think I've found the answer.

ant2:
thanks thunderwing, this was the ticket.

with the above config, all you need now is the following batch file on each pc: (remote host is the destination PC)

"C:\LAN\Virtua Racing\cabmame64.exe" vr -remotehost 192.168.1.201


Then the other PC has the remote host of your other PC
i.e
"C:\LAN\Virtua Racing\cabmame64.exe" vr -remotehost 192.168.1.202

MrThunderwing:
Thanks, but I think you may have misunderstood what I was asking. I know how to set up a LAN and also a single PC network (I removed my IP info from the ini config). The issue I was having was that on a single PC network, you could only control one car (thinking specifically of Virtua Racing) - the one that was in the window that was in focus. The latest version of MAME (170b) has corrected this (it may even have been sorted in an earlier revision) with a global inputs option.
