Ridge Racer 2 and Rave Racer link play working in MAME WIP test build.
John Bennett:
I've also seen the odd strange instance of controls sticking (had to clear the NVRAM for some baffling reason), although that was just with my more recent attempt, but don't rule anything out.
I've not got any updates as I'm in head-scratching mode right now - still feels like there's a fundamental issue with throwing the packets between instances of MAME and half the data going missing (which bothers most of the games, but not all, hence a small amount work). I'll stick at it, obviously, when I can get a moment.
TheArcadeStriker:
I'll have to try clearing the NVRAM when I can. However, something that I've just stumbled with is that, either in auto mode and in xinput mode for joystick provider, I can't control both screens as the unfocused window won't pick up the controls even when they are configured with a different Xinput joystick. I know that its possible from videos using it as well as Virtua Racing, but no idea how can I make controls work on both windows at the same time here.
EDIT: For some reason Global Inputs weren't enabled in the MAME cfg by default (found the line to change just a second); could save some time for people that set this up for the first time to have global inputs enabled by default lol

Hrrm, that's weird. I've got Global Inputs enabled in the MAME ini, but when I tried controlling the two screens with two different Xinput controllers awhile back, only the in-focus window would work. The global inputs being on would allow one controller and one person using the keyboard on the other screen, but not both controllers.
TheArcadeStriker:
I think it might happen to require DInput for multiple joystick pickup as well, since in my case it also refused to pick up xinput contrllers on unfocused windows, so I had to use keyboard on unfocused screen. At least I can confirm it works though; must see if I can test Rave Racer properly one day (also I saw your videos with slowdown, try disabling HLSL since it seems you didn't to have more speed; if that doesn't help then just use frameskip for both windows)
MrThunderwing:
Yeah, thanks mate, I saw your comment about disabling HLSL and using Frame skip. It definitely made a difference bin terms of keeping the 2 screen Ridge Racer in-sync.
