The MAME team doesn’t officially support kaillera. In fact, when it was first being developed, they stated that they were vehemently against it being made. That being said, they have been known to use it, they just can’t support it publically it seems.
I don’t really see the point of this with P2P though. If you’re under like 80 ms on P2P, it’s about as close to offline as you’ll get outside of GGPO.
I was under the impression that you could use 0746’s p2p clients without having to forward a port if you had this Hamachi thing. Is that not correct? Because I’m sure many people aren’t using p2p as much as they should because of that obstacle. That sounds like a good reason to get this. I don’t think anyone is expecting it to reduce lag any further than p2p already does.
hamachi is like putting two people within their own server and then connecting to their “hamachi ip” so theres no need for port forwarding. it reduces lag just like any p2p client
Can anyone tell me how to incorporate Hamachi onto MAME 32++ 0.117 or 32k 0.64? I want to try it out. I already set up my own network room…
you pretty much just get the p2p client and host a server, but instead of your regular IP your friend will need to connect to your hamachi IP.
Stupid question but do both players need to install Hamachi or just the player who hosts? If the former, you guys may as well rule out this thing taking off because people hate extra work. Which is why the majority always sticks with lagged out Kaillera even though there are better options.
Both need to have hamachi and connected to the same hamachi server.
Hello gentlemen. Im sorry for bumping this but I’ve just learned of this Hamachi thing so I have a few questions…
1)Why do you still the p2p kaillera client if you already have Hamachi? Doesn’t the fact that Hamachi allows a person to connect to your PC already makes it p2p?
2)If yes to #1, doesn’t Hamachi give full access to the other user over my machine? And if so, won’t when I double click the mame exe, mame will see me as well as my friend as ONE single player?
3)If no, and kaillera is still required, is there a way to use versions of MAME newer than 0.119? Like say the newer revisions? Or does the version of MAME itself have to support the Kaillera client?
4)How does Hamachi differ from LogMeIn? Does LogMeIn allow the things I’ve mentioned above? Or is restricted the same way hamachi is?
lol @ 1
how do you want the emulators to transmit data to each other? through magic? being in the same network is not enough…
Hi Aqua how’s it going bro? Hope you’re doing OK my good friend 
Hey Aqua…if that’s the case, can you explain in further details how the programs work? It appears I was under the impression it works differently.
Hamachi simulates a virtual LAN.
it’s useless for games that have p2p support. it’s good only for games with LAN hosting.
