Re: Multiplayer Games

I was thinking a locally hosted server might be the way to start, in nabud or the Internet Adapter, that’d disconnect any lag issues from working out actually how to do it. Can test with MAME as well so you don’t _have_ to possess multiple NABU’s. I vaguely remember tearing apart a Quake server many...

Re: What monitor do you use?

People aren't still throwing out old CRTs where you live? I got this TV last year, free. It just needed a modulator to hook up the NABU. https://forums.nabu.ca/download/file.php?id=88&mode=view I also got this TV free: little guy on chair 648.JPG The squirrel, of course, was free. CRTs are too ...

What monitor do you use?

Looking to pick up another older tv for another NABU, and am curious what others are using. I’ve been eyeing a couple Sharp and Toshiba ones on FB Marketplace but would love some ideas from others as to a decent type to pick. One thing I’ve found, mention the word “retro” in there and triple the ask...

Re: DIY F18a alternative

And another one in the list.. Looks quite easy to do and stay affordable, excellent!

I’ll have to check the BOM for US stock though, I’ve had even crappier luck on parts lately, LS244 and 245’s out of stock.

Boy I wish I had more time to catch up, I think I saw a YT video somewhere about that.

Re: MAME not connecting to Internet adapter

Yep. TCP server started but that reminded me of a question, what’s the other “RetroNET TCP Server” setting option for?

Re: MAME not connecting to Internet adapter

Ok, strangest thing, I installed Wireshark to take some packet captures, rebooted from that, went to take a capture and started up MAME to see what I see and ... I saw stuff and it connected to the Internet Adapter.

Really weird.

MAME not connecting to Internet adapter

I have the NABU Internet Adapter running locally on my Win10 machine, and it works to serve serial connections to a physical NABU. I pulled down the MAME emulator from https://gtamp.com/nabu/, started up the tcp server in the adapter on port 5816, the following is the batch file for starting MAME: m...

Re: Multiplayer Games

Thanks, I sort of figured that’s the state of things, too bad two-way comms weren’t available in the original NABU network or we’d probably have 2 more user areas full of them. There’s a couple Battleship implementations around, though the ones I’ve seen were designed for UNIX tty to tty type play. ...
