You've got a game, but you didn't write it. You're running it by emulating the machine it was meant to run on, and the machine it was |
||||
meant to run on never had support for networking. Now, you want to play with your friend, over the Internet. Oh, and it's not |
||||
acceptable to incur any latency between your controller and the game while we're at it. Surely that can't be possible, right? |
||||
Wrong. This talk will discuss the re-emulation technique for netplay used commercially by a system called GGPO and freely in |
||||
an emulator frontend called RetroArch, and how similar techniques can be applied to make networking work in other scenarios |
||||
it was never meant for. This will be an unprepared, impromptu talk with no slides, so it should either be a fascinating dive |
||||
into a little-heard-of technique, or an impenetrable mess of jargon and algorithms. Either way, it should be fun. Professor |
||||
Richards is the maintainer of the netplay infrastructure for RetroArch, a popular emulator frontend for multiple platforms. |
||||
Bill Gates discusses the software and computer industry, and how Microsoft has contributed. Gates also discusses his views on the future of the computing industry. The talk was recorded in 1989 but was only recently digitized. |
