Flycast Naomi2 - with Initial D 3 setup & LAN guide
glx:
Thank you for the tutorial Buttersoft!
I wanted to report Club Kart 2k3 LAN link works, but only 2 players. When trying with a third computer, it always throws a country incorrect on the third one.
Also tried King of Route 66, I can get ingame, but credits and start don't work when trying link play. At least it didn't work for me.

I'm testing ID 3 for now... despite the emulators linked, once the game has run I'm getting 2 black screens on both pc's:
- server PC the message "checking network now" appeared for a while, then the game turned black screen.
- slave PC keeps showing "checking network now" with no results.
I'm trying with the most recent flycast dev version.
I added flycast.exe in into windows 10 firewall, even opened the default flycast port (37391) on both pc's.

I've managed to make both PC's sync :
The weird thing is that flycast is not syncing the NAOMI2 title screen. It appears 1 second before on server PC and this makes the sync fail.
I've fixed this by entering and exiting the test menu on both PC's at the same time. When restarting the game the naomi2 title screen has appeared at the same time on both and then they've synced and gone ingame.
Did it work without having to do this on previous flycast versions? That would be a regression then.
anchounio:
I can confirm flycast network emulation works with Naomi, Naomi2 and with at least, one ATOMISWAVE game: faster than speed.
But it seems it has some delay problems between some PC's when running flycast in network mode, which makes linking fail. I've reported the error here:
https://github.com/flyinghead/flycast/issues/669
The curious thing is that the delay is not that long in older flycast versions (07 april master version and earlier), but these versions still do not support naomi2 :(
In these earlier version I have no problems with my 2 connected computers. Anyway, it seems to be a bug that should be fixed in later versions.
Despite this error, I've tested my 2 pc's making them sync by entering-exiting test menu at the same time.
I've tested Initial D3 (naomi 2), Wave Runner GP (naomi), Alien Front (naomi) and Faster than speed (atomiswave) and all of them work great.
In all cases it is neccesary to follow the steps explained by buttersoft.
For faster than speed you also have to enter the test menu of each game and configure the fist PC as master, the second as slave.
PC 1: You have to go to the test menus of each game => Configuration = > Communication Settings => Linked Mode ON and turn it to MASTER
PC2(or more PCs): You have to go to the test menus of each game => Configuration = > Communication Settings => Linked Mode ON and turn it to SLAVE.
Faster Than Speed and Alien Front links perfectly in current version of Flycast. The rest of the games needs 07-april-master version or previous ones.
Maximum Speed doesn't work. You can change Communication Settings inside the test menu but it will get back to "Linked Mode OFF" after reseting the game.
