If two or more MAME processes are run simultaneously, the last MAME process to exit will overwrite the final nvram/cfg/ini (etc) files. Theoretically it should be OK, as long as both players are not playing the exact same game.
However, if two versions of the same games happen to be played at the same time:
Example 1:
MAME #1 is run by the 'host', playing Point Blank 2.
MAME #2 is run by someone else on the network, running the same game. Player gets in the top 10 high scores, puts their initials in and exits MAME.
MAME #1 is closed.
The user of MAME #2 will have their scores overwritten by MAME #1, as MAME #1 writes the game's loaded NVRAM from memory back to disk.
Example 2:
MAME #1 is run by the 'host', playing Point Blank 2.
MAME #2 is run by someone else on the network, running the same game. Player gets in the top 10 high scores, puts their initials in and plays on.
MAME #1 is closed.
MAME #2 is closed.
The user of MAME #2 will overwrite any scores saved by MAME #1, as MAME #2 writes the game's loaded NVRAM from memory back to disk.
