Mario Kart Double Dash LAN problem

[cruchercrouch]

Hi Guys, first post and I am hoping someone can assist me with MarioKart Double Dash. I have two Windows 10 Pro PC's running the game with no issues. I am tying to link them for LAN play. I have a crossover cable connecting them (which is working for other titles on different emu's).

I have (finally) installed the TAP network adapter V9 on both machines successfully. I have bridged the TAP and the ethernet (crossover) connections on both machines but the game won't link.

I get past the initial linking screen to the one that counts down a timer from 180 but it gets to the end and doesn't find any other GC systems on the network. Tried several times.

I unplugged the crossover cable, connected both PC's wirelessly to a disused router, bridged the wireless and TAP networks and still no luck.

Does anyone have a step by step guide on how to do this?

I'd appreciate any help.

Thanks

Don't expect answers to come right away. MK-DD LAN gameplay is pretty obscure, so only a few of the regulars here have even tried it before.

Windows doesn't have low enough latency on the TAP for consistent BBA usage. Linux works much better. I don't remember why this is, but it's something to do with the kernel.
