  • I want to build my own arcade controls!
This list is based on the one created by Vandale in the topic "List of Network multiplayer capable games for twin converted cabs", page 4. That was a topic about ALL racing PC games supporting multiplayer, including PC, and all emulated systems (consoles, arcade.....)
 So, I've prefered to create a new topic just for the arcade emulated ones, so I can keep the list updated in the first page, first post here.   I'm also adding links to other topics created at this forum to help newbies configurate the emulators.


MAME:
F1 Superlap
Outrunners
Virtua Racing / Virtua Formula
Rad Rally
Stadium Cross
(more info in http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,166363.0.html)

MAME,  no LAN required, just 2 monitors in the same PC:
Cool Riders
GP Rider
F1 Exhaust Note
World Rally 2

These games originally run with 2 monitors connected in the same PCB for multiplayer. There was no LAN at all, so only 2 players were allowed. That's why in MAME they run 2 game screens by default. Anyway, these 2 screens can be configurated in MAME to be displayed in two monitors. In order to play these games in 2 pc's I considered linking 2 mame instaces with kaillera, netplay or similar, but I found out this is not possible by now.
(more info in http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,166518.0.html)

MAME requiring a virtual TAP network:
California Speed
Cart Fury
Road Burners
San Francisco Rush
San Francisco Rush: The Rock
San Francisco Rush 2049
(more info in http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,161667.0.html)

MAME, multiplayer in some Namco driving games is being worked-in-progress by a mame developer. By now, only 2 games are linkable in 2 players mode with a special mame build:
Ridge Racer 2
Raver Racer
Ace Driver (WIP, still not available)

I'm currently sitting on 9 linked machines, though I do not have any intention of installing all of the games, I'll go one step further and include the # of players you can play on the ones I know...
