Off topic- Gamex/Mame bucket list

[ingeanous]

The Coronas have me thinking... How cool would it be to connect to another cab via the internet as player 2?!?

There was a discussion about using MAME and kaillera with GameEx for this exact concept. The problem is that kaillera is highly frowned upon by the MAMEdevs. I don't understand all of the reasons (I think it's mostly source code related) and I don't know what transpired exactly here on the forums between the MAMEdevs and HK (as I recall), but basically the discussion ended by them saying it's a no go. They kindly asked us to stop considering the support and we agreed.

I still think it's a cool concept, but it's not something that will be discussed on this forum.

EDIT: This is the thread where it was being discussed originally...

On the other hand, it would be easy to just use a dual-monitor card, and hook the controls from the second cab to the player2 controls on the first.

are there any emulators that would support network play through gameex?

i m sitting in front of my cab and would like to play a round of mario kart battle mode... against one of you guys!

i know there is this battle.net kind of extension for zsnes but would that work through gameex?

that would be a really neat addition!
