Ad-Hoc Multiplayer on Retro Handhelds – No WiFi Required!

There’s a new feature within JELOS custom firmware that will allow you to play local multiplayer between Linux-based retro handhelds running the same OS — no Wi-Fi required! This will be great when playing multiplayer games when outside of your home network — in a car, on a plane, and so on. In this video I’ll explain the process and help you get set up with your favorite handhelds.
