Anyone up for some online arcade gaming? (SF Rush the Rock, Hydro Thunder)
Hey,
I posted about this a few years ago, but AFAIK nobody ever got around to doing it... I assume more/different people have picked these games up since then, and maybe someone's interested... so I figured I'd bring this back up.
Anyway, I have a pair of SF Rush the Rocks, as well as a pair of Hydro Thunders, and both use Ethernet for linking. Because of this, it's possible to link over the internet. I've only tried the Rush games online, but I'm guessing Hydro Thunder will work as well. It should work for other games that use Ethernet, but I don't have any other games besides a single Rush 2049, and it's in the freezing cold garage, so I won't be playing that for a while
.
Anyone have one or more and would like to play online? It's easy to set up, and just needs OpenVPN installed on a computer (laptop works great). Just plug your Ethernet port into the Ethernet of the game (or a hub/switch with multiple games), and bridge the connection to your wireless internet connection.
Detailed instructions and configs are in the reply...
