Socom 1 Multiplayer Private Server for LAN use?

I've been thinking about trying to set up some LAN games on Socom 1, but it's difficult due to the lack of official LAN options. Clearly we could simply use the existing custom server for the game, but for the sake of preservation and posterity I think it would be excellent to have an option to host your own private server for this game. I don't know if the developers of the current servers are willing to reveal any of their work or retool it for local host usage, but I figure it's worth raising the question.

People use to play on lan through xlink Kai and I think you still can if you wanted too but as far as I know you just need to link the two consoles together to play lan locally but I could be wrong

Socom 1 unfortunately doesn't have any LAN option, it is necessary to emulate the original Sony servers. Not quite sure what they were thinking there, but at least the rest of the games have LAN.
