This is the best! You can play arcade games with other people as long as there is a lobby for it. We can play MVC, Street Fighter 2, X-Men and Metal Slug. If anyone wants to play me on MVC just ask me or find me in a lobby with the nickname Wootman.

Isn't this considered emulation?

Is it legal, if not then the proletariats will hunt you down.

It's fine since Capcom doesn't give two fucks about it and used it in Street Fighter 3: Online Edition.

If its legal that's p. cool, I might go play MVC sometime with someone.

This requires you to legally obtain the ROMS, that means that the games have to either be legal to download for free or you have to own them your self, however the ggpo program is not illegal it self, nor does it give you links to download the roms. Technically it is legal, at least that's what it looks like to me, but I am no expert. Time to see if I can legally get an MVC ROM.

Saying that downloading this is piracy is like saying that owning a weapon is murder.

Nobody said that. We're just gently questioning its legality.

No one is going to hunt you down for arcade roms. Since no one gives a rats booty about them.

Extreme comparison there.

Any mention of roms, any mention of rom sharing websites, any link to roms, will be deleted.

GGPO is a great program with an excellent netcode, created by some of the OGs of the fighting game community. Capcom began using it in some of their games (Final Fight Double Impact, SF3.3 Online Edition) and these games thus have some of the best netplay ever. Doesn't make up for having a shitty connexion though.

GGPO is fine, downloading roms is not and will not be discussed in this thread. The program itself is legal.

I think at some point we should have some perfectly legal fight nights on this thing using perfectly legally obtained ROMS once we decide on a game
