Hey,
CS-MAME is meant for playing games online. Each player should have his/her own PC. The server stars the game, then tells everyone else his IP address and they connect to his/her game through the Internet. The only reason why I had multiple copies of CS-MAME running on one machine is so that I could demonstrate the features without making two videos and stitching them together, but the point is actually to run CS-MAME twice from two remote locations and play a game.
The Clients and the Server both run CS-MAME, and the network protocol ensures that the games remain in sync and also handles transferring the user commands amongst all of the players.
Basically, it allows any number of people to play MAME collaboratively over the Internet just as if they were all sitting together.
In short, yes, CS-MAME allows you to play MAME with other people over the internet.
Does this make sense?
