genesa
Utility acting as a Netplay feature for multiplayer console emulator games
Set it up as a game host or a player connecting and your keypresses will be captured and sent
to the game host via UDP socket. Host program receives the keys for each player individually and
simulates them as if host had triggered them themselves.
Currently does not support any security measures so use it only when clients and host are on the
same network (e.g. using Hamachi) but the feature is planned in the future.
Keypress capturing is based on boppreh's keyboard library and its copy can be found in the root dir.
Quick start
You can run the program directly (by double-clicking) or through command line where you can specify node type in arguments.
If you don't specify type you will be prompted for it interactively.
