A community developer has dug into the incredible PS1 emulator Duckstation in o♓rder to add rollback netcode - which effectivไely means PS1 games now have better online multiplayer than most modern titles.

The developer, who g𝓰oes by HeatXD, recently published this fork of Duckstation on , and while you should "expect rough edges," it's already in a working state. I'm a pretty casual fighting game fan, so I'm going to let the responses from some of the more prolific members of the FGC speak for themselves.

It's already quite easy to play PS1 games - or really any emulated retro games - with online multiplayer thanks to services like Parsec or Steam Remote Play Together. But while those streaming services are adequate for runthroughs of co-op games or casual bouts in player-versus-player titles, they're not really good enough if you want to actually compete in something.

That's where rollback netcode comes in. The technical details of how it works are well beyond the scope of this article - I'd point you to this extensive explainer published by a few years ago if you want to l✨earn something today - but suffice to say that the smooth action that rollback provides ✱has quickly made it an essential feature for fighting game fans.

Current fighting games are finally starting to support rollback netcode at launch - 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Street Fighter 6 is a 🐠notable example - but that was not a given for many years, and it's still a crapshoot as to whether any given fighting game will feature compe⭕tition-worthy online play. With projects like this, at least, there's a way for the genre's most beloved classics to stand up against - and often surpass - their modern successors.
