Network Play

RetroArch network play for up to 4 players is available across all WIFI enabled devices supported by JELOS. Before continuing, please make sure that all devices are updated to the same version of the operating system.

Enabling Network Play

Before netplay is available, it must be enabled on each participating device.

  • Select Games Settings -> Netplay Settings
    • NetPlay -> Enabled
    • Index Games
