Hopefully support for kaillera netplay can be added in subsequent releases!

Kaillera is for emulators of consoles that doesn't actually have networking support isn't? like multiple players playing on a single console (with multiple controllers) by passing through keystrokes over network.

Meanwhile, PSP have it's own networking protocols (which is more reliable than simply passing through keystrokes), even arcade/mini games ported from older console use PSP's networking feature for multiplayer (but probably only send keystrokes like Kailera did, since those games usually more prone to desync). And PSP doesn't have multiple controllers either.

Also, Kailera libraries are not open source, thus only available on limited platforms.

PS: It's more makes sense to integrate VPN support than Kailera for emulators of devices that have their own networking features.
