I know this is more emulation based, but still "retro" as it's ps1/ps2 related...maybe yall crazy modders have done this!

Hey ya'll,

I've had this idea for a while, wanting to play all my PS2 games with my friend who never really got a chance to experience PS2. It'd be so great if it would just work on steam remote play, but that is broken as of now (the "remoteplay whatever" on github is the only thing I found, it is broken as of today). The only other option i've seen is Parsec, and you can't host from the Linux side!! Which I need it to. I'm on linux, he's on windows.

In my mind it's not hard.. I need his pc's input, and then stream my video audio to him...the same way steam remote play does it.

Any help appreciated! Even if this could work for Duckstation for ps1 games, that'd still be fun.

Soooooo, you just didn't read the post then?

I'm not super familiar with current emulation software, but I'm not seeing where OP said anything about retroarch? They mentioned trying a different plugin called "remoteplay whatever" but unless they're related don't see anything about what the guy you're getting snippy with (twice, for some reason, connection issues happen) is suggesting.
