I've used a similar tool to this to play Risk of Rain 2 as a local co-op. Both clients had their own displays, sound and controls (TV+controller and PC) and it worked flawlessly. We were both getting >100FPS @4k and 1080p using a 5700x3D and a 3080.

It's a nice way to play older multiplayer games that don't support split-screen.

That sounds rad, what’s the tool?

I don't recall the name, but it was a Windows-only tool.

This app sounds like it's just the recreation of that same tool in Linux. I haven't tried it yet (I could see some added complexity when using Proton), but I would expect that you could do the same thing with this.

e: nucleus co-op was the name

I was just (a month or so ago) looking for something like this. I'm glad that there's now such a solution that can run on Linux!

this is awesome! I'll have to test this out because gaming with the daughter has been limited to games that support it natively. I wonder if this can work with emulated games too?

Is this basically nucleus co-op for Linux?

i also would like to know if this is similar to nucleus coop, for example I'm looking for trackmania nations (on steam)on splitscreen, would be the best race game ever !
