Ive heard something maybe possible with retroarch but Im surprised there is no pi zero with an easy multiplayer setup yet ( for instance to play 2 player Mario Tennis on the Gameboy )

- s_m_t 5y agoYes, but you need very good latency to the other player for it to work well. The typical setup is to use something like parsec where one person hosts the emulator and streams audio/video and the other person sends keyboard commands. You can add a small delay to the host to even things out but to properly account for latency is a major reverse engineering project which afaik off the top of my head has only been done for super smash bros melee
- jogu 5y agoYes, look into retroarch netplay. They have a rollback netplay implementation that works great from my experience.
- jsd1982 5y agoNot a general solution, but there are communities where we play ALttP in various multiplayer modes: https://discord.gg/AVQ2yKd https://discord.gg/AVQ2yKd https://discord.gg/rJ9n6rJb https://discord.gg/rJ9n6rJb
- poglet 5y agoretroarch netplay worked very well for me. Hosted a game on one PC, it appeared in the online game browser, joined it from the 2nd PC. In addition, it's very easy to have your rom inside the retroarch folder, then send the whole folder to another person / computer. That way there is no confusion about rom versions, in addition you can pre-configure the controls if the person you're sending the folder to isn't as tech savy.
