Quick question, maybe someone here knows...

Is there any sort of platform/program/etc... that can be used to match up players for playing emulated games online? For example, I see that there is a NetPlay option in many emulators, but you obviously have to coordinate with another player ahead of time.  It would be cool if there is was an interface to handle that for you, match up - check rom versions, etc...

Thanks!

Is there a specific game you're looking for? Super Smash Bros Melee/Brawl uses Smashladder.com paired with Dolphin's netplay. I'm sure other sites exist for specific games, but I don't think there is one that handles every game for every system.

I used to play Tetris Attack and Killer Instinct online with ZSNES, using zbattle.net to find opponents.

I stopped using it after multiple releases of ZSNES kept breaking netplay and it didn't seem like they'd ever fix it completely. It's probably not around anymore.

No, nothing specific - just whatever game one may feel like firing up. Obviously a service like this doesn't ensure everyone would have the rom or want to play the game you want, but you could all show up in a sort of lobby, put up the game you want and others can join you if they wanted.

Maybe I am dreaming...

Hmmm... I wonder if zbattle.net is still a thing? Going to research.
