Lord of Vermilion IV matching server
This is matching server for Lord of Vermilion IV arcade cabinets. The game was retired from Japan arcades on 31/08/2019.
This project is a part of LOV4 game preservation effort.
To run network matching you would require at least 2 game cabinets, connected to "NESYS at Home" server and a GameServer.
Nesys at Home: https://github.com/fatal-bundy/nesys_at_home
GameServer is HellGameServer.exe, running on a standalone PC (no powerful GFX needed, laptop is ok).
This exe is for some reason is included on disk with every game cabinet, so you already have it.
You should edit HellMatching.ini on the GameServer to point to your matching server IP and GS port. 11002 is default.
Game cabinets should receive matching server IP and ports from "NESYS at home"
MATCHING_SERVER_IP:11001:11002:REPLAY_SERVER_IP:11004
This matching server is a work in progress, but already works.
It would match any 2+ game cabinets, ignoring Player Level balancing and ignoring any TAG filters.
When at least 2 players found - the game would start in 8 seconds, so be quick to start on all cabs together.
By default you would be all placed in one Team (up to 4 players, who connect first)
To play VS match - enter TAG 55777 and server would place odd/even players into different Teams
No work or code from SQEX was used in this project.
