Mednafen Netplay

[mrrhq]

Does this sound weird to you?

Mednafen is a cross-platform emulator (I'm using the GNU/Linux one).
And I've figured out that is supports NetPlay.

What does this mean?

Anyone can fire up any ROM for any retro game platform that will work with the emulator, even Sega Master System and Virtual Boy, although I prefer SNES.

The thing is, I'm probably gonna continue mucking around with this. I have no Website I can use to host the server or hide my IP address, so I dunno how this is gonna work out for me. Cool idea though, isn't it. Anyone else have an opportunity to roll your own server and give this a try?

Actually, I may be wrong on this, but I connected to netplay.fobby.net, and I used the username mrrhq, and it worked.

If someone uses the same server, username and game (checksum) as me, will they be able to play with me?
I want to test this out over the wire.
