Canned response from last time:
At the moment, no; Windows MAME and xmame use different
network protocols. For this to work, one of two things has to happen:
a) the Windows MAME network protocol (Kaillera) could be ported
to Linux & co. The problem with this is that Kaillera is
closed-source and although the authors have indicated that they might
consider opening it, as far as I know they've made no moves to do so.
b) The xmame network protocol could be ported to Windows. The only
thing stopping this is that no one seems to be interested and able to
do it. Know anyone?
Actually it's been a loooong time since I've done any work on
the network code; I should at least get analog support finished. Then
maybe I can break the core protocol out of sysdep to make a port
easier... I'll see if I can squeeze in some time.
