Your friends will hear themselves while they are connected and you do need to install a driver so their controllers actually work. There's problems here and there with it and you have to do extra steps for making it work properly 100%. (I also highly recommend if you do want to try this for yourself, parsec is still a beta program. I'm gonna set up Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga and only his controller can hit the A button and my controller the B button. It is the first Mario role-playing game, with an action-command battle system. I think after we finish Paper Mario i'm going to do something even crazier with this system i've stitched together. Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars (also called Super Mario RPG: Secret of the Seven Stars or simply Super Mario RPG) is a role playing video game designed by Square (currently Square Enix) and released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1996. It's been a blast and I can't wait to continue having re-experiences in these old games again co-op with my friend. Technically this isn't EXACTLY co-op since both of our controllers shared the same 1 player inputs but I respected not pressing buttons when he was controlling Mario and bowser in SMRPG and Paper Mario and he didn't push buttons when I was playing Mallow and Partners. Both of our controllers were essentially pushing the same keyboard bindings. I set the controllers in the emulator to keyboard inputs and then used Joy2Key to have our controllers mimic my keyboard controls. They can also plug their controller into their computer and your computer will pick it up. There s a nifty little program called Parsec out there that is a 1 to 1 streaming service so you can stream your screen to your buddies. The battle ends between every phase, so Mario can equip something different, if he wants. He also has an Instant Death Attack, Silver Bullet. He has many attacks like Quicksilver, Jinxed, etc.
In Super Mario RPG, I had my friend playing on the Overworld and controlled Mario and Bowser in battle and I only used Mallow. Jinx is an optional mini-boss in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. I made Super Mario RPG essentially 3 player (We played it 2 though)and Paper Mario 2 player co-op games. It was actually pretty fun and a totally new way to have fun with these games. So I have a friend that has never really grew up with basically N64 and lower and missed out on playing some of the great games of the past and now I actually made a way to re-experience these games co-op.
