*[[GGPO]]-like netplay (latency hiding rollback). It should be lag-free if everyone involved emulates at full speed, doesn't live on opposite sides of the world and has decent internet speeds. It uses peer-to-peer UDP and supports two players. Due to rollback, it requires a fair amount of CPU power to run, and the core must only works with cores that support serialization.
*Options for decreasing input latency related to vsync by eliminating buffering by the video driver, as well as using frame delay to delay polling of inputs until right before a vsync occurs on the display.
*Run-ahead to reduce latency. This setting allows cycle-accuracy emulators to run ahead of mandatory 1 or 2 frames of input lag.
