@buttersoft , do you know how to output lamps signal? I tried "broadcast digital output" but it freezes all my naomi games. Thanks

No, i do not :/ I haven't actually looked at updating my flycast install for ID3 for a while, but was planning to soon. Hmm, you have output lamps going for MAME or Teknoparrot or something else, via MAMEhooker, presumably? It might be worth checking with Boom or MightyMike about whether the outputblaster supports flycast. I'd jump into the discord right now but i'm away on holidays with the family this week

I plan to go through this soon, so watch this space? I'm sure i know you from a discord too, fablog, but which one? IDPlayers?

The only discord channel we have in common is the TP one. Output blast works with every other emulator.

IDK then. Are you sure it's coded to work with Flycast? And i made the mistake recently of not testing both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions, and panicked when i couldn't see the outputs for something...

Not sure and I can't find any information about a flycast support anywhere. So, it could be incompatible.

Alright hoping I can get some help here.  So as of right now I'm running Flycast Ver 2.4.  I'm trying to setup the "Network" portion of Initial D Arcade Ver 2 Export.  When I click on the Network tab on Flycast I noticed that the "Network Type" is selected as "Disabled".  I'm assuming I need to select the "Naomi" option to allow me more options to setup the host, etc etc.  Anyone know how to do it? As of right now under the "Network Options" I only have "Enable UPnP", "Broadcast Digital Outputs" and "Broadband Adapter Emulation".

I think I may have figured out my problem.  I couldn't create a "card" to save the car data so I turned off the "Free Play" in the Flycast settings.  But because I did that the "Network Type" was also disabled.  So all I had to do was click on "Free Play" in the "General" tab, clicked on the "Network" tab and the "Network Type" options were no longer disabled.

Ok new question. Has anyone been able to load 2 saved cars to play against each other?

I have with old versions, IIRC. Just setting up a new release, so i'll try to test this in the next few days and get back to you.

I figured it out, kinda. It's kind of a janky way but what I did was copy the actual flycast folder and loaded each .card file into each flycast data folder.  Then just open the flycast exe. from each file and it should load the different .cards. This is all done with 1 pc.  Im not that tech savy so I'm hoping me and my buddies can just use two PCs and connect to a local router and then we'd be able to vs each other with tuned cars.

[buttersoft]

Yeah, i now have card saves on two PC's on the local network and it all works fine.

Sorry for the necromancy.

Is it possible to play Initial D ver.3 head-to-head online using a VPN to mimic and fake a LAN connection?

My brother (as client) and I (as host) tried to set it up using Softether VPN. We managed to connect to each other. When we both launch Initial D ver.3 on Flycast with Naomi network, I get the pop-up notification that 1 player has connected. Then we see the Naomi screen, and then it shows "Checking Connection" on one screen, and a black screen on the other screen. It stays like this indefinitely.

We even tried entering Test menu and exiting it at the same time, we're still not able to get past the black screen.

So first, I turned ON my Sortether host. Then, on the same PC, I connected to my own host as client, I'm user1 and am given the IP 192.168.30.10. My brother connects to my Softether server, he's user2 with IP 192.168.30.11. After the connection has been successfully established,
Me as Host, on Flycast, I have checked "Act as Server", "Enable UPnP" and my local port is 37391
My brother as Client, he puts my IP 192.168.30.10 for server, and checked "Enable UPnP" with local port 37392
We both use the latest Flycast build, and we use the same ROMs and BIOS.
And then we launched Initial D ver.3 at the same time, and we get the situation described above.

Anybody have any thought? Any opinion? Any idea? Maybe we're just doing something wrong or we're missing something.

Or is there a different method to play Initial D ver.3 online? Please help us!

[EDIT] We did it, my brother figured it out. We had to set "Broadband Adapter Emulation" to ON and that finally allowed us to successfully playing Initial D ver.3 Online. However, there's a few framedrop here and there causing a slowdown. But it's no big deal, at least it works and it's playable!

Nice, always good to hear
