  • GGPO finally is being used in a Capcom Game!

    Thanks to the hard work from Seth K. and others, I’m happy to report that GGPO is being used in the upcoming release of Final Fight Double Impact for PSN/XBLA. YES, we know it’s not a fighting game, but if we want it to be used in Capcom’s fighting games, we NEED to support this…

  • Do you use RSS feed?

    If you use Firefox, IE7, or IE8, I have a nice little shortcut how you can keep up-to-date information on this site. You probably heard of RSS, which stands for “Really Simple Syndication”.
