Flycast Dojo 0.3 RC 3
You can now use a simple pull-down menu by the default game filter to switch between hosting a game, joining one, or playing offline. You no longer need to fiddle around in the settings to switch modes.
Fightcade Dojo now features a way to play others without the need of Radmin or Fightcade, matchmaking relays! No need to sign up for any accounts or download additional software than Flycast Dojo itself. You should be able to play any games supported by Flycast, so long as you and your opponent have the same ROM.
To get around firewalls, Flycast Dojo will contact a matchmaking relay and receive a Match Code. Once your opponent enters the Match Code, a connection will be facilitated, then record of your fateful meeting is immediately wiped from the server.
The methods used by this feature should work with most consumer routers, but you may run into trouble over some cloud gaming services or corporate networks. (It is confirmed to work over Paperspace though, where I did much of my testing). In this case, you would need to adjust your firewall rules and explicitly forward ports.
