[Feature] netplay! [sf#1]

[openMSX-import]

Reported by manuelbi on 2002-05-01 10:10 UTC The idea is to have multiple screens on which the output is seen (and heard) and multiple input sources as well. The effect of this would be the possibility of playing games like salamander or f1-spirit over the network, and the posibility to view what someone else is doing from somewhere far away.

I would like to have this feature in the emulator! There are numerous MSX Emulators, even the official emulator MSX Player, but no one have Sunrise IDE emulation and netplay capability!!!

I consider netplay capability a feature unique, that doesn't have any other emulator. I would be great if it can be implemented.

I see two options:

• running 1 openmsx with 2 displays, one of which could be a remote one (at least on Unix/X) this would 'only' involve instatiating 2 renderers (and 2 audio players). Biggest problem when one of the displays is a remote display: lag! lots of lag! :-(
• running 2 openmsx-es with the same config and trying to keep them in sync I have no idea how heavy the network load would become,

(sh*t! Note to self - Don't try to indent text by using [TAB])

Again: I see two options:

• running 1 openmsx with 2 displays, one of which could be a remote one (at least on Unix/X) this would 'only' involve instantiating 2 renderers and 2 audio players. Biggest problem when one of the displays is a remote display: lag! lots of lag! :-(

- running 2 openmsx-es with the same config and trying to keep them in sync I have no idea how heavy the network load would become... Advantage is that the 2 openmsxes could even run on different platforms. But again: how big wil hte network lag be?
