I know it completely goes against what mamedev wants and all, but there are several builds of mame that support a project known as Kaillera. Kaillera is a setup that allows for internet play. Now what I could see you doing is to set up two separate machines each with mame and the same romset. I don't know what exactly you would be expecting to play considering that most of the racing games either are really old and don't have a 2 player component or are not very well emulated. So on with the technical, what you will need would be something like: 2 monitors 2 Computers / consoles - you might wanna think about something like 2 360s or 2 ps3s Network - set up a private network and maybe use a separate machine to be your game host. encoding boards for your steering wheels + tons of other unseen expenses. I hope I didn't give bad information, but this project is very possible and would be an awesome first! |

Anyone here used kailera and know exactly how well it functions. Also been doing some more digging and this has given me so many new ideas for ways to use this. The most current version of mame that supports it is Mame Plus! Plus! or MamePPK Mame xt may also have the functionality, but someone will have to look into that. Heres some info I found over on their forums: --- Quote ---Mame Plus! 0.119 Base Kaillera Correspondence [EmeraldMame] PSX Plugin correspondence [EK-MAME, Mame32 Pro Special] AVI Video recording functional correspondence [EmeraldMame] Renewal contents 0.119(2007.09.17) Mame Plus! 0.119 renews to the base Trouble correction around option Correcting the fact that AVI video recording has become impossible from [ripurei] last public release --- End quote --- Source codes are available, so I guess it may still be possible to update it to support a newer revision of mame. |

--- Quote from: Turnarcades on March 02, 2008, 10:08:02 pm ---Surely it would make beter sense if they were to allow 1 PC to just send a portion of the display to seperate monitors. For example, right now, you can view both screens in games like outrunners on one screen together (side-by-side), or pick which screen is shown in the options. If they could make it so that you also have the option to send the two output displays to two different monitors, you could have two monitors running off one instance of MAME, one PC, but on seperate monitors. There is of course a current solution in building a wide-screen projector based machine so the two screens display big enough to be playable by both players, though mounting points would have to be carefully thought out. You could use a massive widescreen LCD, but the cost would be stupid. --- End quote --- I believe cyberball is (can be) a multimonitor game, where each player gets his own view of the game. |

What are you guys talking about? I just fired up mame32, and was able to play 2players at one time On TWO Different monitors. Each player having its own display, just like the arcade machine. It DOES work. You just set the number of screens to 2 in the settings. Im sure official mame works the same way. |

Right, just assign the correct display to the correct player cockpit, you must have a dual output card but almost all the VGA cards have 2 connection nowadays, the only thing i do not know if both the outputs can work At 15Khz (with proper software and / or bios hacking) but i have no reason to believe not. |
