anyone up for internet multiplayer on some emulated games? Need players close to USA due to latency.

I feel like playing some 16-bit, arcade, and maybe 8-bit and 32-bit (if such emulators exist with internet play) multiplayer with some people, and who better than the folks here who love games enough to download old magazines about them?

I'd like to try SNES games like contra 3, legend of the mystical ninja, and some Genesis shoot-em-ups, and lots of other games though I'm not usually into fighting games unless it's saturday night slam masters or powerstone or something like that.

anytime i get the bug to play some old school games, i see the online feature and I always wonder if anyone even plays. I assume there's usually no one available to play unless you set somethign up with friends. But none of my friends give a crap about retro gaming.

It would be awesome to set up a group list for playing multiplayer retro games

Isn't Retroarch the thing of choice to play multiplayer emulation?

I've only ever tried project 64.  We used to use PJ64k which was a different build of PJ but now people seem to be using PJ64 2.1.

They all however need to use the same emulator, the same settings, the same special netplay plugin and the same game rom.

It's been a very long time since I've tried it, and I cannot remember which emulator it was, but I've played some Secret of Mana for a while, with someone over in Germany. I'm certain that it's mostly done with sports titles, but Shoot'em and Beat'em ups would be a blast to play over the internet. There has got to be a way to play MAME over the net, can you imagine 6 player X-Men, or Turtles in Time, maybe even a little Sunset Riders.

I'd totally play with you if we could get it set up and work out a time.

There are a bunch of arcade beat em ups that I've wanted to play through for a long time.  Cadillacs and Dinosaurs anyone?

I didn't know that was a thing. I'm going to have to look into that.

I always wanted to try multiplayer secret of mana.

What's the best emulator to use to play multiplayer online N64 games?

[Data]

Muppen64 ++ has more compatible games using Kaillera.

i just now saw all these replies to this old post of mine! well getting this stuff set up is easy since the hardest part is just knowing the other player's ip address. Well are you still interested?

Yes, yes indeed. I will join you. I wonder how many virtual quarters is fair for the typical emulated arcade game without being too cheesy?

[Sternosaur]

If this is allowed, I know how to connect with others through a sega genesis emulator, snes, and n64 using netplay, it's pretty easy to do and I'm always down for some oldschool goodness.

sternosaur, do you have steam ? You or anyone else wanting to join me can add me. My user id there is the same as the one here on retromags.com
