  • The host reset applies to your client as well
  • It works just as well between a dial-up user and someone on DSL
CONS
  • It hasn't been updated in 6 years and doesn't seem like it ever will
  • It currently only supports the following mappers
  • In order to change latency, you need to do it before starting the netplay session
