Virtua Racing - 3 Player game, MAME 170b
I've uploaded some 2 Player Virtua Racing LAN games in the past using cabMAME. This time It's a 3 player single system game using MAME 170b. The 4th screen is open for symmetry because it's easier to resize the screens when playing that way (using the option from the task bar to display windows side-by-side), but also it's cool to have the live cam working.
At present although the newer version of MAME can now use global inputs (so, with multiple versions of MAME open the windows that aren't in focus will still respond to inputs) this will only work for raw input devices, not direct or xinput input ones. This meant that one lucky player got to use a joypad and the other two had to share the keyboard. In this instance the lucky player was me (I'm the red car)! The other guys cope admirably using the keyboard, it’s really hard trying to steer using digital only input in a game that’s designed for analog. I'm in the process of uploading the games where I'm using the Keyboard and it's not a pretty site...
I'm player 1 (Red) and my mates Neil and Lights are Player 3 (Yellow) and Player 2 (Blue).
I guess I could use joy2key as a workaround, but that still wouldn't provide analogue steering...
