| Will this work? MAME System Link... |

I have one of these... and am awaiting one of these... ...having seen 2 lovely Net Cities system linked so that player one uses 1 cab and player 2 uses a second to play against each other, I just wondered whether there was a simple way to do this in MAME between these 2 machines. I have no motivation to modify either of these 2 cabs so I am intending to get a JVS-Pac for the Naomi and I already have a J-Pac for the Egret II. If I was to purchase a KVM box which had the possibility of splitting the image across 2 screens could I set up the 2 cabs using one PC, so that Player 1 takes one cab and Player 2 takes the other? I have a feeling this would work as, as far as I'm aware, the JVS-Pac uses USB and the J-Pac uses PS/2 so there should be no conflict. Let me have your thoughts guys! :cheers: |

I've done it before. should work if all you are doing is splitting a video image and not try to do some weird system linking. |

I overcomplicated it a before in my describing. As the J-Pac uses PS/2 connection and the JVS-Pac uses USB then it's just a case of plugging both upto the PC and using a video splitter to each cab... should be simple enough. Thanks :cheers: |

I guess you could probably even make the 2 cabs function as a 4 player set up? The J-Pac would allow you to reconfigure the keys to players 3 and 4 while the JVS-Pac would act as players 1 and 2... |
