I'm having trouble with Dirt Showdown too. I have Grid, SR 1/2/3, Daytona 1/2/3, SWDC, Storm G etc all fine but just can't get Dirt LAN'd up. The ini files look similar to Grid and given it's Code Masters should take the same config but cab 2 is always shown as Player 1. There's a lot less XML files compared to Grid so maybe it's an incomplete dump? I'm using the VM one

Has anyone seen any new guides or downloads for DDR A20? I'm struggling with the files on Virusmans site with either spicetools or Bemani. Any suggestions?

I'm having trouble with other cars flashing on and off whilst racing. The cars in the distance appear to flash / disappear whilst everything else is OK. Anyone seen this? Doesn't happen with Daytona ++ texture pack. I'm using GTX970 so maybe a Nvidia thing?

If I start each machine separate they say online (despite not actually having an internet connection). If I start both at the same time one of the machines crashes out. I suspect it detects it has the same ID as the other. This is the same for most Sega cabinets. I did notice the version of the dump I have is different to the manual. The dump is 1.5.12 and the manual is 1.5.14 so that explains why the test screen looks slightly different.

I read somewhere that coin button saves test menu settings. I'll try that later. I also think the video ID section is where the Machine ID is set. The Video split I think is so the screen can be set for multiscreen in attract mode.

I'm having touble with multiplayer too. My IPs are 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.2, both cabs are offline connected via a switch. All my other multiplayer games are fine so not a network issue. The bottom right of the screen shows the Video ID number and Machine number. Both my Machine numbers are 1 so there must be an option to set this to 2 on the second cabinet somewhere but I'm yet to find it. I've read the manual for the game and it doesn't mention it. http://www.wahlap.hk/patch/SRG/Storm Racer G Eng Manual_1.5.14-1822_new.pdf

Is there a way to use the profile.bin save files with TP? I tried adding the SV folder but it does not work. TP has all my settings working well for network play and screen res. When I try and use Jconfig to play MK then I have the unlock working but screen res is wrong and network does not work.

Any ideas on one cabinet constantly reverting to 1360x768? I have changed the settings on TP, AMIconfig and default config to 1920x1080 and it just goes back to 1360x768. I have two cabs networked and everything else is ok just cabinet 1 will not run 1080p.

I've finally solved it 100% now and all my multiplayer issues were down to the webcam. I've spent days working on this and despite using PS3 eye tpy cams as recommended it seems they are a bit temperamental at least with my windows build. I've running W10 IOT Enterprise LTSC as I use it on all my cabinets to avoid feature updates screwing up config. It seems this version of windows handles cameras and their drivers different from pro and was causing issues with the eye toy driver. I had also tried fake webcam, split cam etc and all these failed to work. I stripped two webcam PCBAs from some old tablets I had, soldered USB leads on and bingo it works flawlessly every time. These cameras are recognised in windows device manager as a camera where as the eye toy shows as an imaging device. They are also small enough to hide behind the bezel so will look factory too!

OK it looks like a Teknoparrot issue combined with the patch I used. I've DL'd another Sega folder and tried with TP, same issue however trying the launcher and it works! I was using TP as I have several arcade dumps running with that and it's easy to map controls. I'll do some more testing and see what I can find.

Here's the Master cab game.ini [Network] Active=1 Domain=127.0.0 BaseAddr=1 Port=23232 CabinetDomain=192.168.1 CabinetBaseAddr=1 CabinetPort=27000 CabinetActive=1 MasterTimeout=15000 ClientTimeout=15000 Master cab shelldata.ini [Network] Enabled=1 CabinetID=1 NumCabinets=2 Slave cab game.ini [Network] Active=1 Domain=127.0.0 BaseAddr=1 Port=23232 CabinetDomain=192.168.1 CabinetBaseAddr=2 CabinetPort=27000 CabinetActive=1 MasterTimeout=15000 ClientTimeout=15000 Slave cab shelldata.ini Enabled=1 CabinetID=2 NumCabinets=2

I'm having issue with mutiplayer on this. I've followed the guide and configured exactly as per info on page 32. The master cab boots fine but slave cab sits at network discovery screen then crashes out. Any suggestions? Both machines are identical HW and software installs. If I swap master and slave ini files the cab which got stuck boots and the other sits at the network discovery screen.

I having trouble getting camera working, Tried 3 cameras inc ps eye toy and they all crash the game when it access the camera. Everything else works fine and has done for a year, just I'm trying to add camera so I can get my second cabinet connected. Any ideas?
