Link game of Oxyd 1/2 between two MiSTers works

[rsn8887]

Yesterday, I got a link (nullmodem) cable game of Oxyd (and Oxyd 2) to work on the Atari ST core, linking two MiSTers on the local Wi-Fi network. Here are the steps that worked for me:

- Use TOS206US, monochrome monitor setting.
- Set UART to Modem, TCP, 19200 on both MiSTers.
- Boot the same game (Oxyd or Oxyd 2, hi-res monochrome versions) on both MiSTers.
- On the title screen in each game, press return, #, 4, return, to set each game to 19200 Baud.
- Press F7 on each game title screen to switch from Midi to Modem. "Midi" will become "(Midi)" on the title screen.
- On one game title screen, hit Return, then enter aattddtt119922..116688..00..111166 (replace numbers with IP address of second MiSTer). Note you have to enter every letter twice, I don't know why. Make sure you see the full aattddtt... string on the bottom row of the title screen. For me, there was often a little rocket symbol first before the letters aa, that is fine.
- Press return.
- You should hear the typical modem dial sound showing that a connection is being made.
- When the sound is over, press F2 on MiSTer 1 to start a link game, both MiSTers should start the link game now. It ran smooth for me and I played the first three levels to test. One MiSTer controls the black marble, one MiSTer controls the white marble.

This is great; it opens new ways to enjoy these games without fiddling with emulators...
would work well in an arcade setup with two cabs!

That seems like an issue with local echo...

If you want you can try the latest midilink where I have added ATE0(disable local echo) and ATE1(enable local echo) to the subset of Hayes AT commands I support.

Just replace your current /sbin/midilink bin
