OSX Netplay

RetroArch Apple devices
#1

Hi,

Recently I’ve been trying to use netplay with my friend, and we weren’t able to get it working. Does netplay work cross platform at the moment (He’s on pc and I’m using an OSX build)? Does netplay work through RGUI on OSX currently? It’s kind of hard to find directions for netplay on RA honestly.

On another note, I can get glsl shaders to work on RA, but not CG shaders. Not a big deal because I can just run the cg2glsl script, but I think some shaders like royale don’t work with that. Is this a problem with my build?

Yes, it works cross-platform, but you need exactly the same version of the cores for it to work, though, so that could be tripping you up. Ideally, both of you pulling from git and compiling on your respective platforms is the most reliable means to make sure you’re in sync.

The upcoming beta builds and subsequent release will have RGUI netplay options.

As an addendum, the current builds of RetroArch have readded support for the CG shaders.
