I see what you meant.

-
src/mame/drivers/namcos2.cpp

MACHINE_IMPERFECT_GRAPHICS | MACHINE_IMPERFECT_SOUND | MACHINE_NODEVICE_LAN


-


Assuming that the flag warning MACHINE_NODEVICE_LAN is used to provide a user warning that games that were designed to be linked together don't have that feature yet, means that someone has to look over the Atari and Midway source files to see which particular games did have cab link feature and maybe add the MACHINE_NODEVICE_LAN flag feature.

Probably one of those overlooked cases and maybe will be added later until cab linking feature is supported in the future.


The only one I remember being linked was San Francisco Rush. I never played the other games in arcades.



src/mame/drivers/midvunit.cpp

"Midway", "Cruis'n World (rev L2.5)", MACHINE_SUPPORTS_SAVE,


src/mame/drivers/seattle.cpp

"Atari Games", "San Francisco Rush (boot rom L 1.0)", MACHINE_SUPPORTS_SAVE,
