Starting Feb, 2024, AWS (the hosting service used for netplay) is raising their prices[1]. Running the 4 existing netplay servers currently costs about $15 USD a month. This Patreon almost covers that, but the new price increase will basically double the cost.
I am left with 2 choices:
1. Remove 2 of the netplay servers (there are currently 4: US West, US East, Paris, and Brazil)
2. Remove IPv4 support (IPv6 only), which will make the service unavailable for some users.

For those that have been following along you would have already seen this. GLideN64 has been replaced with ParaLLEl-RDP. This means that the emulator is now LLE only. ParaLLEl-RDP requires Vulkan 1.1

Just an FYI on a couple of often requested features. m64p now includes an auto updater. The program will prompt you on launch to update if a newer version is available. Click yes and the emulator will update automatically.
Also, Discord support: Rich Presence and netplay voice chat. Grab the latest download here: https://github.com/loganmc10/m64p/releases

A new netplay server has been launched in South America (São Paulo, Brazil). Enjoy the lower latency if you live down that way!

Though I don't have the funding for it yet, I've decided to enable AWS Global Accelerator (https://aws.amazon.com/global-accelerator/) for the netplay servers.
This service will reduce latency and jitter (latency spikes) for all 3 (US West, US East, Europe) servers.
To explain how this service works: Imagine you have 2 players, one in Chicago, and one in Florida. They are playing on the US East ser...

Please let me know your experiences, that's the only way I'll be able to improve things!
The current server is in the Western US (Oregon). Your support here on Patreon will allow me to run servers in other parts of the world as well.
