Good timing, I just published a new version. I'm looking for people to test it out now!
Sadly I won't be home until Saturday or Sunday.

s&box does have dedicated servers but I'll have to pay upkeep for that and there's no Linux binaries (yet). I can always just use an externally hosted web server with WebSockets though since there's already a good API for it, probably makes a lot more sense too

wait, i thought this worked similar to roblox in terms of hosting, so if we go multiplayer we still have to pay for/rent server space?

man i really need to do more research on this platform.

Well it's not Roblox, I don't know what gave you the impression. You either have peer-to-peer or dedicated servers as hosting solutions in the current system.

yeah i get that its different, i just assumed with how it's being set up that it'd be similar to roblox or epic games nonsense in terms of logistics and have things on it to reduce the scale of what we could do to minimize like server use a bit.

guess my dumb little brain assumed while on S&boxs platform it'd do some weird instancing or something for lobbies like roblox does or like Core then when we want to export it we'd have to do a bit of technical wizardry to re-route it a bit for an actual dedi.

Looks like Linux dedicated servers are finally here, I'll take a look into this

Okay I'm gonna go off-topic for a bit in this post, bear with me..

Someone (I don't know who) repackaged my emulator's frontend for both of their emulators very sloppily, made it worse in terms of the UI along with zero gamepad support, didn't even include any copyright notices or license text and also never made either open source. I'm pretty sad honestly :/

If you had the decency to do this, at least make your projects public on GitHub so it doesn't like look like you have anything to hide. I'm not gonna blame you for using AI, but it hurts a little to see this type of shit.

Rant over

That's much better, I'm glad he listened. Still not happy though, but I can forgive it.
