QEMU doesn't work for IRIX or SGI equipment.

I get that, but that's not what I meant to say. What I am trying to say is that QEMU, like MAME, can make use of TAP devices to enable networking, and that probably means that the 'setup TAP' part is the same for both MAME and QEMU on Linux (it is on MS-Windows). (How you tell the emulator to use the TAP device is obviously different).

As for the issues posting links, you're a brand new account and the forum's anti-spam system called Cleantalk prefers for a user to have some participation before doing so.

Yeah, I suspected something like that. Thanks for clarifying that.

Also avoid domains known for hosting spam or malware/warez, and don't use link shorteners.

The links I was trying to post are to 'forum.arcadecontrols.com' and 'forum.mamedev.org', which are legitimate sites as far as I know.
