[Feature Request]: Use Libslirp instead of PCAP for Networking support #5334

Open ghost opened 2 years ago

ghost commented 2 years ago

Description

Moving to using libslirp instead of winpcap/npcap for online/LAN networking.

Reason

It would help using the networking features without having an ethernet connection or having to start PCSX2 as administrator. You won't need to use bridge mode to use wifi.

Examples

MelonDS and one of the DOSBox forks use libslirp/slirp to emulate networking.

fwiw I've used switched mode for both ethernet and wireless connections.

This will make things more simple by having 1 mode for everything imo.
