Widely Pioneered rollback netplay, widely considered to have the best multiplayer netcode for only multiplayer available. It's so great that its used in some more recent commercial games. The only disadvantage is that you need to open ports to use it, and it's severely limited to games that were made or modified specifically to use this technology. Built Originally built on the same emulator is '''as FightCade''', which can be found [[FinalBurn Alpha]].* [https://www.fightcadegithub.com/ hereRossenX/NullDC-BEAR NullDC BEAR]: A Serverless, self-contained package for online Retro Games, Supports: Naomi, Dreamcast, Atomiswave via custom build of [[NullDC]]. NES, SNES, PSX, Sega Saturn, Sega Megadrive, Gameboy Advance, Gameboy Color, Neo-Geo Pocket via [[Mednafen]].* '''[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.

* '''[[Cemu]] supports ''': Supports online play pretty well, however custom servers are still not up so you'll have to risk your own Wii U's network certification files to use this feature.

* [[DeSmuME]]: Main version 0.9.7 used to include an option to connect to Nintendo's own servers, and later, the custom servers. It works pretty well. However, since the project maintainers had ''creative differences'' and decided further development on it is to stop, it was never developed any further and as such existed for a long while as unofficial forks requiring an Ethernet connection (though further workarounds were found to enable any kind of connection). Very recently, it was added back in that state to the main builds.

* [[melonDS]], a : A newer DS emulator by the developer who used to work on that feature, is planning online support.
