MoqBoy: Streaming Game Boy Emulators Over Media over QUIC for Real-Time Multiplayer
By

Hand-rolled, kettle-boiled, baked to perfection. Worth every minute at the bakery.
Summary
A developer describes building "MoqBoy" — a system that streams Game Boy emulators over a Media over QUIC (MoQ) CDN, enabling real-time bidirectional multiplayer gaming similar to Twitch Plays Pokemon. The architecture uses N emulator workers and M human players connected through a single MoQ CDN connection. The post highlights cost-saving features and runs emulators on VMs in Texas, while cautioning about potential latency and Nintendo legal concerns.
Key quotes
· 4 pulledThere are N emulator workers. There are M human players. They use a single connection to a generic MoQ CDN for EVERYTHING.
I don't want to get sued by Nintendo. So enjoy homebrew games instead lul.
The emulators are running on VMs in Texas, so don't flame me if the latency is high.
SAVING MOOLAH.
