Flycast Naomi2 - with Initial D 3 setup & LAN guide
anchounio:
My final report regarding network in flycast driving games:
All NAOMI, NAOMI2 and ATOMISWAVE games that support network are supported in flycast.
- Alien Front
4 players (or more) are supposed to be allowed. I've only tested it with 2.
- Club Kart 2003
4 players (or more) are supposed to be allowed according to some reports I've read on the internet and according to a flyer of the game. I've only tested it with 2 players.
Some user in this forum reported a third PC would not connect in Flycast, but I still haven't tested more than 2 players.
- Faster Than Speed:
Only 2 players allowed according to the manual of the game. I've tested it and both work great.
Flycast is supposed to manage each test menu configuration, but in this game I've had to changed it manually, configure one PC as master, other as Slave inside the test menu configuration.
In network mode, Flycast won't manage a waiting window for the master/slave connection because in this game the instances don't need to start together.
- Maximum Speed.
Only 2 players allowed according to the manual of the game. I've tested it and both work great.
In older versions of Flycast the game would not run in LAN if an individual setting of the game was created inside emu.cfg. I reported the bug and the developer has fixed it in recents master versions of Flycast. https://github.com/flyinghead/flycast/issues/671
In network mode, Flycast won't manage a waiting window for the master/slave connection because in this game the instances don't need to start together.
- Wave Runner GP
4 players (or more) are supposed to be allowed (or maybe even more). I've only tested it with 2. Anyway, there are videos on the internet of Flycast linking 4 instances of the game.
- Initial D 3
In the PCB manual it is more or less understood that only 2 players are allowed... also according to MAME documentation. I'm not 100x100 sure of this anyway. I've only tested this game with 2 players and it works great.
- King of Route 66
Only 2 players allowed according to the manual of the game.
This game had a bug in which no controls were working in network mode. It has been fixed a couple of days ago: https://github.com/flyinghead/flycast/issues/673
* Flycast has a bug that only affects some PC's: One PC will run the game too soon, making the instances not sync together. This bug affects Club Kart 2003, Wave Runner GP, Initial D3 and King of Route 66
I reported it here:
https://github.com/flyinghead/flycast/issues/669
For people having this issue, you can make the games sync by entering and exiting Test Menu at the same time.

Thanks so much for this guide! There is zero documentation or help with the ffbplugin download so I would never have figured out how to get ffb working with the initial D games on Flycast without this!!

FFB:
The FFB plugin is here (only works for Flycast ID3) (awesome work by Boomslang, as usual): https://discord.com/channels/284830696860680192/468497589076099082/960770150263570432 (Update: I believe the Flycast FFB plugin is now part of Boomslang's FFB plugin pack on github)
Put those 5 files into the directory with flycast.exe. Open FFBplugin_GUI and set your wheel. Open flycast and play the game.
If FFB isn’t working:
* On the controls tab, go down the bottom, leave the controller type A as Dreamcast, but set the first options box to the right as “purupuru”, and the next one to “none”. (Thanks again Alexvgz.)
* You may need to disable other controllers on that same tab (i.e. keyboard, mouse, etc)
* Don’t use a batfile. Weird one, but FFB fails for me that way. Launch by opening flycast and clicking the game. Or, if automating, create a shortcut with the “c:\path\to\flycast\flycast.exe C:\path\to\flycast\roms\initdv3e.zip” line as the target. You can then load the shortcut from a batfile and it works fine. Must be something to do with how the arguments are being passed?
* Taking the 200MB+ .bin file from the older Demul romset and adding it to the initdv3e.zip file might help. If that isn't enough, try adding the .pic file too (overwrite the one in initdv3e.zip). Note that you should not need to do this at all, but Demul FFB didn't work with the MAME romset, so it's something to try.

Anything particularly curly? Or did you just set purupuru and it worked?

Curly? ???
I set any other connected devices to 'none' as stated and changed the 'Dreamcast Devices' to purupuru/none and yeah, it just started working whereas before I couldn't get any feedback. This forum is the only place where I could find that info!

Out of curiosity, did you try all three Initial D games? If so, are there any differences in ffb feel between the three of them?
