10 players

Ok, now that we can use multitap with libretro-yabause, we can play bomberman with multitap on it, which means up to 10 players (perhaps the only 10 player game ? but it still exists), but retroarch won’t allow more than 8 players, is this arbitrary ? Is it possible to change that ?

According to http://www.segasaturn.co.uk/beta/guides … urn-games/ there are actually saturn games that support 12 players! However it looks like retroarch has the maximum players defined as 8 so I limited the yabause to match that. If it gets increased in the frontend, its pretty straight forward to update the core to match. Does any other system allow more than 8 controllers to be attached at any one time (and have games to support that number)? If not, then the limit was quite sensible until the yabause core got multitap support.

I mentioned this to Squarepusher and he upped the limit to 16 (just in case). So, once OmniBlade ups it in Yabause, you should be all set :slight_smile:

Awesome !

Thanks, i was sad being unable to play 10 players bomberman since my saturn died :confused:

I’ve upped the limit in https://github.com/OmniBlade/yabause, but I’ve not tested it. Once I have I’ll submit a pull request and get it merged.
