THE SOFA,
BUT ONLINE.

Remember passing the second controller to a friend? Press2P brings that back over the internet: the same games, the same two-player chaos, from anywhere.

POWER-UPS

ROLLBACK NETCODE

Your presses land instantly. If your friend's arrive a moment later, the game quietly rewinds and catches up, so online feels like local.

WATCH LIVE

Spectate any public match from the start or jump in halfway. No copy of the game? Watch it as live video instead.

SHARP ON ANY SCREEN

Pixel-perfect, smooth HD or a proper CRT look, crisp all the way to 4K, with the picture's glow filling the sides of a widescreen.

PLAYSTATION IN HD

3D drawn by your graphics card at up to 8 times the original resolution, with steady 3D that stops polygons wobbling.

ROOMS AND INVITES

Open rooms anyone can join, or private ones with a 5-letter code. Send a link and your friend lands right in your room, chat included.

SAVES THAT STICK

Battery saves, memory cards and save states, kept safely. Progress you make in an online match is saved too.

COUCH CO-OP TOO

Up to four controllers on one PC: almost any USB or Bluetooth pad, or the keyboard.

ALWAYS UP TO DATE

New versions install themselves, checked and signed, so everyone in a room is on the same page.

SCREENSHOTS

▶ DOWNLOAD FOR WINDOWS

Free · Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit) · about 40 MB

The installer isn't code-signed yet, so Windows may say it doesn't recognise it: choose More info, then Run anyway. Press2P updates itself after that.

HINTS & TIPS

Answers to the usual questions.

DOES IT COME WITH GAMES?

No. Press2P plays games you own: copy them from your own collection into its ROMs folder. It never downloads or shares games, and online only your button presses travel between players.

WHICH CONSOLES DOES IT PLAY?

Mega Drive / Genesis, Master System, Game Gear, SG-1000, SNES and PlayStation. PlayStation discs work as .cue with their .bin files, .chd, .pbp or .m3u for multi-disc games. Mega-CD and 32X aren't supported yet.

DOES MY FRIEND NEED THE GAME TOO?

To play, yes: everyone in a room needs the same version of the game, which Press2P checks for you. To watch, no: anyone can watch a match as live video.

WHAT ABOUT LAG?

Press2P uses rollback netcode, the same idea modern fighting games use. Your own presses take effect straight away, and when your friend's arrive the game rewinds a few frames and replays them, usually before you could notice.

DO PLAYSTATION GAMES NEED A BIOS?

They run best with the BIOS from your own console, copied into Documents\Press2P\BIOS. Without one, Press2P uses OpenBIOS, a free replacement that starts most games.

WHAT DO I NEED TO RUN IT?

A Windows 10 or 11 PC (64-bit) with a graphics card that supports OpenGL 3.3, which is almost any from the last ten years. A controller is recommended but the keyboard works too.

MAC OR LINUX?

Windows only for now.
