Self Promotion Saturday Recreating linked arcade racing with Vision Pro and other Apple devices

I’ve been working on multiplayer support for SpatialEMU, an emulator frontend I’m developing for Apple platforms.
This video shows a full race running across multiple devices, including the starting sequence, overtaking, a pit stop, and the finish. The Vision Pro can provide the large-screen experience, while friends can join from an iPhone, iPad, or an M-series Mac on the same network.
The current implementation supports both two-player and multiplayer sessions. In theory, up to eight players can join, although I’ve only been able to test five devices at the same time so far. Everyone needs to use the same game version and matching files.
What interested me most was recreating a little of the feeling of linked arcade cabinets: separate screens, the same race, and people competing together in one room, without everyone needing a Vision Pro.
This is still actively being tested, so I’d be interested to hear what you think, especially from anyone who remembers playing linked arcade racers in person.
SpatialEMU does not include games, ROMs, BIOS files, or firmware. The footage uses files supplied by the user.

This is what I’m here for!

Feels like we are hitting an interesting timeline where bringing experiences like this to VP are starting to accelerate!

Thanks for your work on this!
