      What? How does information get from one computer to the other?

        That's exactly what my post is about. I was thinking we could connect his controller to my PC or vice versa using USB over IP. You can only have multiple people playing on the same computer. Like arcade style

          So you can multi player on a single computer but not two computers?

          Unless the game can work through something like email, I played a game ages ago that was turn based, and you email the files after your turn they import it and play.

            @Dashrender That is correct. Like TMNT Turtles in Time on SNES. Multiple players on the same box but no netcode. So what I did was installed ZT on each PC, connect through VPN and then use Microsoft Garage Mouse without Borders to bind our keyboard inputs over the VPN. Then I just spectated his game through steam.

            This worked, but I had connectivity issues with the keyboard sharing using Microsoft Garage Mouse without Borders.

              That's what I was thinking but without the LAN option in the game I'm not sure how this would work exactly. Does that make sense? I was thinking USB over IP cables or something but idk how I can make them communicate over the ZT network.

              ZT is IP, once you are on IP, there is nothing to know.

                Wow that's complicated. Just buy new games 🙂

                  What emulator are you using? I thought Snes9x actually had support for network play?

                    It's this dungeon crawler on steam (where one player controls the hero and everyone else controls monsters) that has an arcade cabinet mode. The dev's have said they most likely will not include netplay. I forget the name of the game. It was a cheap indie game.

                        Sounds like because this one was a failure 🙂
