Or just setting up a second copy of MAME. FYI you can't use them single player without changing the options back in the service menu or just removing the NVRAM files and starting over. The games often need restarting once that's done, and you may need to hard crash to do that, believe it or not. Once the above IP's are set right, you run each game and go into the service menu to set the links up, changing things like car numbers and master/slave setting, depending on the game in question. Not sure how many players F1lap allows, but VR is 8ppl, and i think orunners is only 2 (but two seats each, two screens, so you need to set numscreens 2 in mame.ini if you only want one on each monitor or only have one monitor.) Then you set up the IP's in mame.ini kinda the same way you would for model 2, each pointing to the next, the last pointing to the first. You need the game roms, and the m1comm.zip rom. So outrunners, F1 Super Lap, and Virtua Racing work. MAME only networks with about 3 or 4 racing games, IIRC.
Original Xbox Driving games with LAN support:ĮDIT: For Completeness here is PSP and PS3
Xbox and Xbox 360 haven't been emulated yet but here is a list of drivers that should support LAN if you wanted to run the consoles themselves or if they do ever get emulated: Gran Turismo 3 A-spec (via "iLink" whatever that is) PS2 Driving games with LAN support: (not sure if PCX2 supports LAN but here are the games I know about) The all-new Career Challenge has players hurtling through over 20 different classes of rally events including Challenges, Cups, SuperCups, Shields and. I don't know if the Dolphin emulator has LAN functionality but the only GC Racer that has LAN support is Mario Kart Double Dash (there are no Wii games that support LAN, Nintendo made it online only) All 3 of the TriForce racers: Mario Kart GP and GP2 as well as F-Zero AX should have LAN capabilities if the Dolphin Emulator supports it. Colin McRae Rally 2005 takes the series forward with a massive multi-event Career Challenge and introduces online head-to-head rallying, for up to 8 players, on both PlayStation 2 and Xbox.
Race Driver Grid does support LAN but Grid 2 does not The non-SE versions of the original 2 NFS supposedly didn't support it either. Supposedly everything after the 2005 MW is online only, as is Hot Pursuit 2. Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2005) (with LAN Patch)
Need for Speed: Underground 2 (with LAN Patch) Need for Speed: Underground (with LAN Patch) Drift, StreetX, Underground Racing League, Free Run LAN - multiplayer LAN. Need for Speed: High Stakes/Road Challenge Computer Game Evaluation Colin McRae Rally 2005 Presented by: Robert Rak.
In any case it seems a lot of the earlier NFS games on PC support LAN: I haven't tested any of these but they're worth looking into Otherwise, the game looks and sounds fantastic, your default co-driver (Nicky Grist) is articulate and easy to understand when reading pace notes, and there's even a nifty visual effect that blurs the screen slightly during crashes.I tried to get a similar list in my thread here: but it turned into a sh*t storm. Sounds are generally useful and modeled correct to orientation, but a few of the engines (notably the Citroen Xsara) sounded a bit thin and compressed. There are multiple views to choose from, including a nail-biting hood cam that's not as useful as the traditional, elevated behind-the-car angle. This is one extremely fine-looking and sounding game, and while you'll need a higher end video card to crank the detail and anti-aliasing up, how sweet it is to be whipping through the Australian outback with sunlight glinting off glass as red-tinged dust gradually films over your high-gloss paint job. It's tightly integrated physics and sound design, and CMR 2005 has it in spades. Forget anti-gravity leaps and forgiving limp-inertia turns - when a car tops a jump in CMR 2005, the sense of metal and rubber flung into free-fall is utterly tangible, and the walloping "thunk" the suspension makes on ground contact reverberates from your ears to your fingers. What ultimately makes the CMR series a boon for simulation enthusiasts and rally racing fans is its unsentimental driving model.
