I know this is more emulation based, but still "retro" as it's ps1/ps2 related...maybe yall crazy modders have done this!

Hey ya'll,

I've had this idea for a while, wanting to play all my PS2 games with my friend who never really got a chance to experience PS2. It'd be so great if it would just work on steam remote play, but that is broken as of now (the "remoteplay whatever" on github is the only thing I found, it is broken as of today). The only other option i've seen is Parsec, and you can't host from the Linux side!! Which I need it to. I'm on linux, he's on windows.

In my mind it's not hard.. I need his pc's input, and then stream my video audio to him...the same way steam remote play does it.

Any help appreciated! Even if this could work for Duckstation for ps1 games, that'd still be fun.

No I replied on an app. I think there’s a bug which doubles post reply’s.

Steam Remoteplay together and RetroArch are the only other option which I found usable and works with Duckstation (swanstation) and PCSX2. I remember on Windows there was a way to high jack the executable to play more than what steams offers and it worked, but that was back in 2022.

Otherwise yeah parsec is probably the only other option.

Ah found my video where I documented it back in 2022: https://youtu.be/P3J23OlNMXE
