Hey all!

Trying to build out a game server and looking into options. I see a lot of suggestions for RetroArch and Romm.

My main goal is to host games and share a link and be able to play multiplayer with friends at are remote. It would be awesome if this was browser based so my friends don't have to setup anything.

It looks like both RetroArch and Romm are different front ends for emulatorJS. However, retroarch is the only one that supports netplay or remote play?

Just for an example, I would like to play Mario Cart multiplayer and do so by sharing a link in the browser, or maybe play multiplayer counter strike. I know this would probably be two separate systems.

I'm open to suggestions. Retro game hosting or modern game hosting.
