@lmerckx I don't know if this would be helpful in the forum or not. And if so, maybe it should be a separate posting. But during my testing on a PC, I created this batch file which allows everyone joining a game to select which one will be the server, and then multiple clients can connect to that server as clients. I used a DOS utility called ask.com to get the Y/N answer, and then a DOS utility called answer.com to ask for an IP address.
If you are going to change the port used to something other default, can you let me know? That way, I should be able to mix and match players from recalbox, windows dosbox, linux dosbox, etc.
Thanks again for the help!
