[ Minimig, Clone-A ] + Kaillera

[pixie]

We live in a global world, what about giving both solutions a new reality? Presenting them with the world of multiplayer...
 

Kaillera works with emulators of systems that achieve multiplaying with multiple input ports. A maximum of 8 emulators continuously send their input state to server 60 times per second and in exchange receives the input states of all emulators via client. Emulators emulate their guest system independently based on received input states in the same way as offline.

Wouldn't it make sense to present this engine in the FPGA core?

:bump:

Too much like hardwork... I dont think you've thought this through..

How do you get the data to the internet?

[pixie]

Ethernet? Trough hardware (FPGA)...
Think outside the box, being the box the Amiga Core...

Imagine the MorphOS metaphor, you have qbox where kaillera and tcp would live, then you would have the Amiga box... but all in hardware...

Think outside the box eh? You are MAD :crazy: (In a warm fuzzy mad way)

Ethernet? Through hardware (FPGA)...

And what does the Ethernet connect to on the FPGA side? A hardware TCP/IP stack? Have you any idea how complicated a ToE (the name given to a hardware TCP/IP stack) are!!. More than likely you would have to put a whole other computer inside connected to ethernet... just to run kaillera, a TCP/IP stack, capture and send the signals over the internet!

Imagine the MorphOS metaphor, you have qbox where kaillera and tcp would live, then you would have the Amiga box... but all in hardware...

Not practical at all... is it? To have another computer?

What would be truely feasible would be to wire the serial (or parallel) port of the Amiga to the PC and run a modified Kaillera?

What would you play?

[pixie]

What would you play?

There's lots of legal games to be played freely, and those having two players can be played trough kaillera on the net

One example would be Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory

Very nice free, online, multiplayer WWII game. It would have to be ported for OS4 first of course.

But I'm talking of games that never were meant to be... and are already Amiga games
