Mame net play via gameex?

[77railer]

Good evening everyone, I've looked numerous places but have yet to discover and answer. Is it possible to play mame with friends online via gameex? If so can someone please explain. And if not can anyone suggest a different way that works well? Thanks for your time and such a great community.

Hello :-).

As of this reply, I don't think that GameEx is able to host online multiplayer gaming (I honestly don't think that there is a front end out there that does that).

However, there are a few avenues you could go through. GGPO can be easily setup through GameEx, but the development for GGPO has died sometime ago. Here is a link to it's predecessor:

I don't know if you have a cab setup, or if you have more of a pc or home theater setup...Fightcade (like GGPO) might not be "cab friendly", but the little bit of extra work is worth the capability of online play.

Another route, and this is if you want more of an internal LAN party: Nebula's Sega Model 2 emulator has a clean and cab friendly network setup for some of it's games.

And lastly (that I know of lol), there's Kaillera. I've never used it, but heard some ok stuff about it before. http://www.kaillera.com/download.php

I hope any of this helps!

There was originally integrated support initiated via GameEx - you can read about it here and the Client/Server MAME here. Links to the softw3are etc. are dead and I do not think it will be revived.
