hey Zack, you mind explaining to me how using the iarl netplay setting work and their capabilities?  there isnt anything in wiki about it.
thank you  and thanks for making this build.  its been my hobby for a little while trying to figuring it out.

The netplay settings just append the appropriate command line commands to start a netplay session.

Code:

  -H, --host            Host netplay as user 1.
  -C, --connect=HOST    Connect to netplay server as user 2.
      --port=PORT       Port used to netplay. Default is 55435.
      --stateless       Use "stateless" mode for netplay
                        (requires a very fast network).
      --check-frames=NUMBER
                        Check frames when using netplay.
      --nick=NICK       Picks a username (for use with netplay). Not mandatory.

One computer needs to be the setup as the host, and another needs to connect to the hosts IP as a client.  Then the host launches the game, followed by the client and voila:  you can play street fighter 2 without having to be at the same computer.

I've actually only minimally tested this.  It seemed to work just fine on a local network with a PC and a raspi.  I haven't tested this across the net (through a router/firewall/etc).

Netplay has come a long way in Retroarch.  They have an entire netplay lobby system, which might be more user friendly to get a net game started.

thanks.   gives me something to get me started..   i put in a pretty cool feature request over at github in case you wanted to do "for the fun of it" lol.
