Actually, I was thinking about this... A central server machine
would emulate the game, 4 slave pc's would each process the vector
commands and send back key presses.
         I've just finished a hacked up version of a Quantum
Emulator. No sound, and it runs slow on a 150Mhz PentiumPro
(Thanks to Zonn for SCALing routine), but you can play the
game... Anyway, has anyone written a sega vector instruction set
description document? I'm pretty sure I can do the emulation and the
network interface (using sun's PC RPC), but I really don't want to
reverse engineer the vector state machine.
