I certainly didn't deliberately disable anything - my code is based on a version of the MAME source from around 2020 (I can't remember the specific version). I only compiled in a limited set of games, but maybe something else needs to be in the build for FFB to work. Interesting.
I need to update it anyway, looks like some S22 graphical improvements have gone into MAME recently. (for the record, I am working on the comms code again right now after a hiatus)

Actually Boomslang made me realize the FFB with your mame version works if you open up one player without the commport type commands. However, when running the bat file to open up both mames in two player mode, it has no FFB. Boomslang may know why that would be so we can give him some time to respond.
John Bennett:
Apologies Sailorsat, I know I promised to put the code out there, but I really wanted to port it to the latest MAME and tidy it up.
It's now compiled, so I'll strip out the non-working hacks next and it'll be up soon.
I'll put up a new .exe for people to play with too. No new games are working with linkup, but you'll get the benefits of the latest video improvements to System22 8)

That's my linkup code ported to the latest MAME, so you get the graphical updates and linkup for RR2 and Rave Racer.
.... and in the .zip file is the source code for the files I edited, hope it's of some interest, Sailorsat :-).
I'd like to think I've built up some momentum, and tidying it up has helped a bit, so I'll try to focus a bit on it over the next few months.
SailorSat:
Lookin' interesting :D - Keep it up :)

Does this work fullscreen? I finally got through setting up all of my bat file code to get 2 player link mode going and I am realizing that it is not fullscreen and the normal fullscreen settings I use for other games does not work. Is this just a blip on my side or is there something going on with this custom mame version that will not go fullscreen and have a border?
