Ridge Racer 2 and Rave Racer link play working in MAME WIP test build.
MrThunderwing:
I found a really great interesting article online about an attempt to try and preserve the 'Last Ridge Racer' full scale machine. Genuinely really interesting read.

That was a great read! Seems like the guy made up that story of moving into a house and "finding" the PCB's but anyway great news the roms were saved.
Did you see in the new November MAME and soon to be released in December's MAME, MAME developer "Windyfairy" has added in some new graphics fixes to Ridge Racer (accurate shadows) plus added network card emulation to the Konami hornet and viper systems. Another MAME developer Ville had previously worked on this and said the network emulation was holding back a bunch of the Konami 3D Racers so fingers crossed for more working driving games soon.
@John Bennett perhaps yourself and Windyfairy could collaborate on your excellent work?

Thanks for posting that.
Glad the roms got dumped, but it's a shame the entire setup wasn't cared for more properly.

Yeah, kind of odd that someone would go to all that trouble to get ahold of it and then just leave it to rot in their back garden and garage. I wonder if it was someone who had grandiose plans for it and quickly realised they'd bitten off more than they could chew...?

'Windfairy' is a state I hope to aspire to in 2 days time, after consuming my own bodyweight in Turkey, brussel spouts, breadsauce and stuffing. Nom. ;D Happy Christmas all!

PC#1 Left side, Car 1, hostname: PC1 mame.ini settings:
# CORE COMM OPTIONS
comm_localhost 0.0.0.0
comm_localport 15111
comm_remotehost PC2
comm_remoteport 15112
comm_framesync 0
PC#2 Right side, Car 2, hostname: PC2 mame.ini settings:
# CORE COMM OPTIONS
comm_localhost 0.0.0.0
comm_localport 15112
comm_remotehost PC1
comm_remoteport 15111
comm_framesync 0
Then start up PC2, launch the game and tap F2 to enter service mode. Set it to Car 2 and change the colour to Yellow.

It didn't work for me. In the options screen, "LINK" is there, but it is inaccessible. I can't find the solution.
