Most info was gathered from the guys over at /vr/, so if you have any questions or need someone to play retro games with, visit their [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irc IRC] channel at #/vr/_Netplay on [https://www.rizon.net/chat rizon.net] & and their official website [http://www.finalstarmen.net here]

[[Preservation_projects#LAN_Tunneling_Programs|LAN tunneling programs]]), [[#Online Multiplayer Emulation]] and [[:Category:Online_Services|Online Services]].

==Getting Started==
=====Steam Remote Play Together=====
[https://store.steampowered.com/remoteplay/#together Steam Remote Play Together] can be used to allow games in Steam to be played with people through streaming. You can add emulators and any non-Steam games into your library by clicking "Games" from the title bar, and click "Add a non-Steam game to my library". Remote Play Together is supported on any device that can run Steam, and is the only option for hosting from Linux. Additionally, Android and iOS can connect to games via the Steam Chat app, making this the only option for iOS as a client.
