Ok I'm back! So ive gotten my player 2 cabinet up and running successfully I am at the point where I can now link them together! I assume I need to connect both pc with a lan cable? How do I make them a pair?
The main steps are :
- set Windows network on both sides
- set the network configuration of each emulator in the "Multi" folders of Racecab/Emulators folder of cab 2
- set "Multi" games as cab 2/Slave in game test menus of cab 2
So I got myself a new network switch and set it up. I think ive installed this mostly correct but I can't get the cabinets to link. I know the network is working because I transferred a picture from one pc to the other pc.
When I try to start Daytona the player 1 will boot but player 2 will not. If I unplug the player 2 LAN cable player 1 will just sit idle doing it's network checking. When I plug the cable in player 1 will boot. Player 2 never does and when I exit the game I get this error.
When you say "set the network configuration of each emulator in the "Multi" folders of Racecab/Emulators folder of cab 2" How do I do that? I don't see what I should be doing. I think this is the step I am missing
Focus on Supermodel or TeknoParrot first, it will be easier.
By "set the network configuration of each emulator in the "Multi" folders of Racecab/Emulators folder of cab 2" I mean opening to supermodel.ini in Supermodel LINK folder for example, and set the address of the current cab and the adress of the "other" cab, iirc.
For TP, launch TP, select a game and set the network properties in the GUI
Ok it's been a couple weeks but I finally got a chance to take another stab at this. I have successfully gotten supermodel to link! It definitely wasn't as easy as I had hoped but it's working now. I will attempt teknoparrot next when I get some time. Still no go on model 2 link but im probably missing a detail somewhere.
Having fun playing some linked racing finally! I have all the supermodel games configured and working well.
I know it's a big ask but if it's not too much trouble could you possibly do another tutorial video on setting up a link for model 2 or show me what I need to change? Im not sure if I'm missing something with setting config files or another step in the process. Im sure it would be a great help to other like me who need a little more direction.
I have temporarily renamed m2lagfix to stop it from trying to boot while I figure out but it still won't link 2 cabs. I see that has config settings as well and I did mess with them but got no link. Perhaps if you showed me all your settings I can learn from that. I don't have any clear videos to follow unfortunately so it would be a great help. I plan to mess with teknoparrot but I already have these questions regarding model 2 so thought Id ask.
I will look into that link when I get a chance. Thanks id appreciate it! If i can make any progress beforehand I will report back.
@Darksoft It's pretty incredible once its working properly and I plan to convert several more myself! If i got it Im sure someone such as yourself can get it going much easier!
I forgot to mention a bunch of the raw thrills games are working too! And to answer a question i had earlier in the thread my outrun rom dipswitches had the game set to sitdown moving cabinet. I changed it to upright and problem I had with the steering wheel cranking to the side and staying is now solved.
