Yeah, that's essentially what dolphin does. You need to make sure that the clients are all the same version. And that everyone has the same save file, I believe. Everyone connects via a code given by the traversal server, but I believe it's still peer to peer.
So the players need to be relatively close geographically. For non-serious games I (east coast) can play as far as the midwest or so. But for good connections for competitive games, I have to stick to east coast.

Before covid19 this is primarily how we would play mario party. It's definitely more fun in person, but still fun in zoom.
haha so you have to pretend not to screen watch on a game where everybody is using different screens lmao
yo dawg I heard you like multiplayer, so I put co-op in your co-op so you can screen watch while you ping watch
It seems two things are happening and I'm confused:
You download the roms for the local multiplayer but everyone plays them remotely on different clients, and the dolphin software makes it act like its in person local co-op on the same device???
Or is this just a general point of a free time-tested fun game with good graphics that people can play on multiple platforms
or a little bit of column A and column B
