I hate to admit but SailorSat wasn't the first to make linking machines in MAME possible.
11/03/18 07:08 PM


Couriersud made Gaelco 3d games linkable since early 2010.

https://github.com/mamedev/mame/blob/master/src/mame/machine/gaelco3d.cpp

The problem is the linking code is only compatible with unix based systems. It's currently impossible to compile using any system other than unix due to it requiring a unix only system file, mman.h. Idk if someone could convert the code on gaelco3d serial hardware to work with non unix systems.

SailorSat did hook an rs232 to harddriv.cpp to enable linking which is the same bus hardware midvunit.cpp (uses a DB25 cable to be exact). While I could hook rs232 code to midvunit.cpp, I don't know what "code/hardware/chip/" controls the rs232. Cruis'n USA is even worse where a special linking pal, A19993, is required and security for a good dump and reproduction still isn't understood.


-.-
