Netplay emulates local multiplayer allowing for players across the globe to play the same game as if they were in the same room. ===Streaming programs========Parsec=====[https://parsec.app/ Parsec] is a program to allow streaming local multiplayer games to others over the internet. Parsec only supports hosting from Windows or macOS. Windows, Mac, Linux, Android and web browsers can connect to Parsec hosts however. =====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.

* '''[[Mesen]] (and obsolete version [[Mesen S]]'''): Mesen S has a netplay feature, available by going to Tools -> Netplay. Hamachi (and other methods) or a port forward is required.

* [[VisualBoy Advance#VBA Link e-Reader|VBA-Link]] and some forks of [[VisualBoy Advance#VBA-M|My Boy* VBA-M]] have netplay support for link cable emulation between two GBA units. Has significant issues.

No netplay support but some of the emulators support Download Play feature. See [[Nintendo 3DS emulators#Hardware features]]. =====Nintendo Switch=====* [[CitraRyujinx]]*[[Yuzu]] has local multiplayer support (through Wi-Fi).

[[PPSSPP]] can use ColdBird's proOnline Adhocand JPCSP supports multiplayer on the same network but only the JPCSP supports XLink Kai.

* [https://github.com/MisterTea/MAMEHub MameHUB]: Said to have a comparable netcode to [[GGPO]], it's also capable of emulating console games through MESS. However, using MameHUB requires registration, and the frontend, is coded in Java, is an absolute resource-hog which heavily impairs your gaming experience if you're using a low-end computer. You can join a game that's already in session.  Newer Newer versions of MAMEHub use much fewer resources.

This refers to different game modes than regular local multiplayer. ;See [[Preservation_projects#Revivial_Projects|Revivial Projects]];See [[:Category:Online_Services|Online Services]]Some consoles and systems offered during their lifetime options to connect to the internet (or similar services) to play against other people online.

While [[Preservation_projects#Private_Platform_Servers|most of these servers went defunct]], some of them are (or were) still up and the <abbr title="see #Hardware features and peripherals of each dedicated console/system page">emulators were developed far enough to be able to interface with the actual official servers</abbr>. The others had [[Preservation_projects#Private_Platform_Servers|replacement servers]], that could host both real hardware players and PC emulator users. However in many cases emulator users were banned over cheating or concerns that emulation lag gave them unfair advantage (which is the case with Wiimfi's project, and some of its associated game mods that took it a step further to prevent the game from running on emulators).

Status of various other consoles and their emulation of online featuresdown below, see [https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php?title=Special:Search&limit=500&offset=0&profile=default&search=%23hardware+features #Hardware features and peripherals] of each dedicated console/system page for more information about these.

* 3DS Nintendo Network (3DS): no interest from Citra developers.* Sony online services (PSP/PSV/PS3/PS4): custom servers up for some games, zero emulation interest.
