VPN Linking Arcade Games Over the Internet - Part 2

[@slipangle3027]

So uh, when's part 3 happening? I'm really interested in this.

[@kelonsmalyarik109]

The game is top notch and so is the video. It helped me to choose a vpn like hide expert vpn and now I enjoy gaming

[@gto8202]

I've been waiting for this update for awhile now.....keep up the great work guys!

[@juntistik]

I am so happy you made a follow up to this :) Hope others take inspiration and expand it to more games :D Very amazing work Greg!

[@zborgerd]

What a pain! Reminds me of when I was trying to bridge PPP Dreamcast games over my cable Ethernet connection via my Linux machine. Thanks for trying to preserve retro multiplayer, and congrats on making it work!

[@Bunker27Goose]

Greggie's Techies! Now that's an intro!

[@Jdevy]

Imagine multiple arcade locations doing this!

[@KillerArcadeGames]

I'm really wondering how this worked out! Hopefully you'll make some more videos soon.

[@onji]

DUDE! Awesome progress!

[@Nico-Thiry]

The work you have done impress me a lot ! :o

[@wildernessgames]

How the heck do you know all this info haha nuts man, guessing you went to school or trained at work for internet? lol Mad scientist.

[@Inubito]

Wish you would make more of these. I think you are the only game youtuber I know that goes into the OSI model. lol

[@amurorae5137]

Nice project, could this be done with fighting games? For example if you set one cabinet as player one and the other as player 2. They would only really sync when both players are playing and not in arcade mode due to random CPU opponent selection. Do you think it's possible?

[@loubilly]

really cool that this could work

[@djsquibby]

Hi cool video did you make any more parts, I've seen parts 1 & 2?

[@Chudhole]

Looks great. Would probably work for many link able machines.

[@gregblaum2958]

Bring it on! Ready for a trial run here with the Flux Capacitor Arcade!

[@Thevinylhouse]

really great job!! so your bridging the interfaces because the data is some proprietary protocol?

[@arcadeimpossible]

data is only layer 2 network frames. doesn't talk IP so it can't natively traverse past the local LAN. The vpn encapsulates it so it can go over the internet via VPN traffic.

[@Thevinylhouse]

ahh, ok, great idea

[@adamcartermi5]

Where is part 3

[@pkinney1a]

Well done! Are you streaming that data through openvpn over UDP?

[@arcadeimpossible]

yep. TAP interface with openvpn, and local bridge interfaces per Pi

[@jsenigaglia]

BOOM

[@slipangle3027]

Any news on this? It's been a while.

[@shovelhedded]

Could you use one Pi with a switch for multiple Rushes?

[@arcadeimpossible]

yep!

[@shovelhedded]

+arcadeimpossible hot diggity.

[@BuxProduxshuns]

Would this work for PS2 and get Battlefield 2 Modern Combat multiplayer over VPN?

[@arcadeimpossible]

not sure. if it is LAN, then yes

[@RDJ134]

Yes this should work, back in the day i used Xlink Kai (www.teamxlink.co.uk/) to connect with other people on the Xbox and the PS2 in a LAN setting. As lang your game supports SystemLink you can lan consoles/arcades etc etc.

[@juntistik]

Can Confirm. People are still playing Socom II on ps2 with xlink kai.

@@RDJ134 Do you think Xlink Kai would work with arcade too?

[@RDJ134]

@ If the game supports SystemLink (LAN Playing) it is a yes. The list with games that are supported can be found on: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Xbox_System_Link_games

[@ninjamaster3453]

its been 6months since part 1

[@ninjamaster3453]

6 months is about the latency between these. ping faster

[@thomascampr]

Hes a Jew that has to get paid before he makes a video. If you want a hard working honest guy check out John's arcade

[@ninjamaster3453]

thomascampr are u sure he's one?

[@arcadeimpossible]

+thomascampr yes, I totally got paid for this.

[@GamerGee]

We neeed updates

[@marcosaguilera3312]

I actually picked up a rush the rock in hopes that this would work. When you get it all set and good to go, I want in.

[@cbart1987]

awesome

[@Runslik3Wind]

So cool

[@chuck12-82]

The WiFi will give you more latency, I would connect the pie with ethernet to your router

[@arcadeimpossible]

need Ethernet for the rushes. plus all wired equals more hassle

[@nicoful86]

it might be interesting to use powerline (broadcasted ethernet via power outlets of your residence) for reduced latency, of course depending on how high latency the wifi have now.

[@MetalTiger88]

good job =)

[@frankkesel7252]

hey 2thumbs up greg . why not used your own ips / server ?

[@arcadeimpossible]

I thought about it. But centrally hosting it keeps it up 24/7, even if I don't want to play. keeps my network secure and unexposed. and the pi to vpn also keeps everyone's home network separate from the rush vpn network
