Holy crap! I just found out you can play MAME arcade fighters online!

[purbeast0]

a friend of mine told me today that there is some type of way to get mame to play online and you can play alot of the arcade classics online. i had heard about it a while ago but never pursued it until he told me he was playing Killer Instinct virtually lag free last night online.

considering I have an xbox360 arcade stick I built, I can now use this on my PC as well since it's USB. and considering I own a KI2 cabinet and have MK1, MK2, KI1, and KI2 actual arcade boards, I can play this legally online!

<--- knows what he's doing tonight after work!

I've had no problems playing old arcade games with friends using MAME32K.

yah i'm just not into PC gaming and I hate using the keyboard for stuff. I used to run emu's on my xbox, but now that I found out I can play ki1 and mk2 online, and now that i have a stick that works, i'm kinda excited 🙂

I love KI1. My fav fighter ever. What'd you pay for the board?

I got a KI2 cab for $300, then got KI1 PCB/HD for $125.

I haven't played it in ages though because no one wants to play me ever 🙁

so are you playing "online" or just on a computer.

Big difference.

What if they are only next door? Does it have to be miles and miles away?

What if they're upstairs in the same house? Does it have to be outside of your house?

Probably not if you have a really really big house.
