Multiplayer

[PeeZapp]

Ok so I have no idea if this is even remotely possible feel free to shoot me down if you like but is there a way to play multiplayer games over the internet on the panda either native games or was hoping emulators either over the internet or even local like bluetooth device to device or something (would be cool to set up some online tournaments)

Generally yes. Depends on the application if it supports multiplayer.


EDIT: Bluetooth could be a bit slow for this, but over WLAN sure.

Multiplayer emulation over the net will not be available anytime soon (if ever), for various reasons. If you want more info, check out the link in my sig, which contains a bunch of different threads on the topic.


Just to clarify, it is potentially possible, but unlikely.

I mean Netplay does not even work properly on the PC all of the time (ZSNES kinda works with some latency issues, P64k kinda works on some games, others will get a split in seconds).


Native games or ports on the other hand can already be found, check the Games list on the wiki, it has a multiplayer column (MP): http://pandorawiki.org/Games


There are quite a few interesting games with network and shared device support.
