Description

Hi there @Cthulhu-throwaway , I was wondering how reliable the Remote Retropad core is as it is?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzom8OZ-HAk

Does it work reliably or can it just stop working after loading and unloading several cores?

We might want to go over some of these netplay/network-coding adjacent features in RetroArch in preparation for a new stable.

Reproduce the reported reliability problem and identify the relevant Remote RetroPad or netplay code path; done means the failure is reproduced and its behavior is fixed or clearly documented.
