VirtualClint Posted June 14, 2018 Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 I've been playing SNES games online recently with something called Parsec, it's this free program that essentially lets you share your computer, and someone remotely connects as a second (or third or fourth etc.) player. They can use their controller, keyboard, mouse, etc. It's pretty rad, and the latency is impressively low if you've got good internet. Thought I'd share it with everyone, I actually used it to play NHL '96 with a friend just a few days ago. https://parsecgaming.com/ It's way easier to set up than Hamachi etc, it just sort of...works. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halifax Posted June 16, 2018 Report Share Posted June 16, 2018 thanks for sharing. Appears to be available for windows only (to host). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmastert Posted June 2, 2019 Report Share Posted June 2, 2019 is parsec easy to set up and host and get playing, like what do i have to do to play with buddy, does he have to download the program and sega emulator, etc ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaos Posted June 2, 2019 Report Share Posted June 2, 2019 Doesn't support Windows 7 as a host. Worth trying, but there are many guys on here that play online with older laptops. All Parsec is basically doing is giving the person who connects to you a "Twitch" video stream and using their inputs as player 2. So the person connecting is actually not running the emulator, just streaming the video and sending inputs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
