Made *some* progress...
"mode 9" games still show "link 1" in test mode - even if the 8 player link is working (as tested with suzuka8h and fourtrax).

oddly enough, the 8th car in rave racer is flickering in and out of existence.

A year or so ago, I'd have been upset you'd beaten me to it.
Now I'm just relieved I don't have to look at it again  :laugh:. That's excellent stuff  8)  :applaud:

I couldn't come up with a reliable vsync mechanism, but I'd never twigged that those were multiple TX video frames queuing up in that buffer. Makes a lot of sense now.

You can finish it and run the gauntlet of putting it all into Mame now  ;D

I wonder how many people have seen an 8-player Ridge Racer 2 setup! That panorama is ridiculous!

Mmm, yes, that'll do  8)

Did you just alter the C138 and the System2/21/22 drivers, or does your build have changes to the networking code vs. standard MAME?

I'll admit, I had a play dropping those above drivers from Cabmame into my build of MAME and it made a bit of an attempt to sync two instances, but presumably dropped loads of packets as the games wouldn't show a link. So I was wondering what I was missing.

I should've said the other day, but that works great  8).
It's also great seeing the triple screens being properly sync'd at last.

One oddity though - Tokyo Wars. I can get it to start in 2 player but it ends the game immediately. So I guess it's getting enough data across to see the other machine, but not to play a game without faulting.

I did indeed. -- https://github.com/mamedev/mame/commit/c729acf5613522e1b44bdbd4534ded655753db1d

Hi Sailor.
When will we have a version of mame also in beta version with these implementations?
