p2p kaillera is great, and it seems more and more players are making the transition to using it. At the moment though, not many games are actually listed under the p2p waiting games list.
Mainly the way things seem to work now is, people make a game in GW, and then when someone joins, they arrange a p2p match. Many of the players who do this have something like (p2p) after their names.
What I propose to do from now on is this:
After my name, I will put (P2P up Now). This indicates that I currently have a game in the waiting games list on p2p, of the same type as the one I have listed in GW. There’s no need to join my GW game, just go directly to p2p and join there.
If everyone starts to adopt this practice, then it will first of all save lots of matchmaking time, and also, it will cause more games to be listed on the p2p list, and cause a transition to more p2p games being played in general.
Just make 2 different mame folders. Install mame into both of them then put the regular kaillera client in one and the p2p in the other. You can keep the roms in one folder so you don’t have to have multiple copy’s of each rom for each mame. Just set the rom directory of your 2nd mame to the rom folder in your 1st mame.
