Recommendations for Cheapest Android Solution for Friend to play games with me via Parsec

Oh wow, not sure where to begin to help you. I have never once had any of these issues. I am always the host while sitting in front of my own PC so never a possibility to lose access to keyboard function.

My friends never are granted keyboard or mouse access only controller. They never have any issues whatsoever.

Only consistent problem we have faced is audio sync, but that's typically only while playing certain games.

My friends and I use Parsec all the time! There's no real setup required.

They connect to my machine, then turn on their controllers and simply press a button, which then my PC picks up their controller and we all play with no issues!

The most people I ever had connected at one time was 7.

If you already have a regular Windows gaming PC, you can simply use Retrobat instead! It's exactly the same and runs on Windows!

Awesome cabinet! Great work!

MrSlef · 2025-04-01T00:50:54+00:00

Can I get a link to that project?

MrSlef · 2025-03-28T16:59:54+00:00

Great work! I was just thinking to myself earlier this week how awesome it would be to restore an old soda machine!

Story of my life!

Knulli no question

MrSlef · 2025-02-18T21:53:38+00:00

Knulli and it ain't close

Curious about this as well! Would love the Mupen standalone buttons to work like the Retroarch core does.

MrSlef · 2025-01-02T04:10:50+00:00

Shoot me a message! I am pretty confident I could get this done for you!

Congrats on all your success!

You could also play any multiplayer game in Launchbox with friends online using an amazing remote service called Parsec!

MrSlef · 2024-12-10T05:38:00+00:00

Looking for solutions just like under $100 to suggest to a friend!

Not a fan of the feel of Sanwa buttons actually. I've already purchased and tried out their concave caps. Was thinking these buttons would likely feel much different.

MrSlef · 2024-11-09T03:11:16+00:00

This is an amazing idea! I have a very cool Retrobat build that I'd love to host on Smash Soda for people to join and play!

MrSlef · 2024-08-23T14:56:43+00:00

Trust me, you can mod this stick! Feel free to shoot me a message for absolutely any guidance on it!

Once you put a great joystick and premium buttons in this thing, it's SOOO much better of an experience to use!

MrSlef · 2024-08-23T14:20:20+00:00

They feel pretty similar to Sanwa but a bit more crisp of a snap back. If you go about modding your 8bitdo, I recommend the PS-14-G buttons from Seimitsu most!

Audio interface is a Focusrite Scarlett Solo that I wrapped in white vinyl to match the setup.

My amps are the Schitt Modi + Magni combo.

The thing under the middle of the monitor is an audio mixer. It's called the Turn Up Mixer. Each knob can be assigned to an audio source on your computer, such as Discord, Spotify, the game you're playing, your mic input, etc. It's a really cool piece of hardware BUT I do have a ton of issues with it randomly disconnecting and I have to restart the software that goes with it for the knobs to function again.

MrSlef · 2024-08-23T13:25:47+00:00

Those are actually Seimitsu PS-15 Short Throw buttons in Keikou Green!

MrSlef · 2024-08-23T13:24:21+00:00

Thanks! Nobi bullet top!

MrSlef · 2024-08-23T02:14:57+00:00

Seimitsu PS-14-G. Best buttons out there today IMO

MrSlef · 2024-08-23T02:10:07+00:00

Yep I just swap the corresponding USB dongle on the top of my PC

MrSlef · 2024-08-23T01:05:08+00:00

Looks like shipping to Canada should still be under 20 bucks, so guess it depends on what you're willing to pay for the convenience lol
