Thanks

Thank you for developing such a great emulator. I'm not good at English, but I want you to read it if you don't mind.

History of my request

I want to use it as an emulator for System256. The game I'm playing is "MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM SEED DESTINY O.M.N.I. vs. Z.A.F.T. II". There are many fans of this game in Japan as well. Currently, I own four System256 units, and I am playing a communication match with a friend far away. We added a NIC to each PC, connected to the VPN, and enjoyed the communication battle.

If this nice emulator has the ability to recognize the NIC, I think the emulator will allow online play. Actually, I think it would be better for me to develop and make a pull request to get opinions, but I don't understand C++. You can prepare personnel for test play here. Please consider adding this feature.

Sorry for the poor writing. Thanks again to you for developing a great system. thanks regard

This game you listed uses a usb ethernet adapter via PS2 usb port. Such a simple device should theoretically be easy to implement but s2x6 might be picky in which adapters work. There are others too that use a usb ethernet adapter for networking (Battle Gear 3, Ace Driver 3, MotoGP and Time Crisis 4).

Thank you for your comment while you are busy. I'm actually using a USB ethernet adapter to communicate. It should work similar to Battle Gear 3.

If this mechanism is implemented, it can be expected that the number of players will increase, so I would like to ask for some help. Is it possible to implement it as a prototype first? You can test it here.

thanks regard
