So, I was finally able to get a few mates over the other night to play some networked Supermodel games, using the new full-speed network, for the first time. My previous forays into real multiplayer networked Supermodel games used the old network, that only ran the games at half speed. When the full speed network version of Supermodel was first released a few months back, it was when we were still in full lockdown in the UK, meaning I couldn't invite anyone over to try it.

Le Mans didn't work in link-up on the old network, so this is my first ever time trying it in a proper multiplayer. The way the link-up game works is really odd. We're all on the track together, but our position in the races seem separate from one another. So at one point, 2 of us were both in 20th position at the same time. Lights managed to overtake Mark, which seemed to then register them in separate positions, but because I was out in front, I didn't ever get to overtake any human players, which I think actually hurt my overall position with the CPU cars. Despite the fact I got the fastest overall time out of the three of us, I actually positioned lowest overall... Work that one out. I really wasn't playing brilliantly though, but it's weird, because in the first video where I demonstrated the link-up working, just playing on my own, I came in 2nd place without even trying: [ Ссылка ]

I'm player 1 in the middle, my mate Mark is Player 3 on the right and my other mate Lights is Player 2 on the left. We're all using PS3 Dualshock 3 pads to play this, using a program called DS3 tool that makes my PC think they're Xbox 360 controllers. My mates were complaining a lot about how this one plays with a pad... The game was still fun though. There were a lot of bants and smack talk going on.

This was the latest version of the emulator, from a few weeks back, that I was using. You can acquire the most up-to-date version here:
