Good news: today I was able to connect to my closest Kaillera server using Snesk9k.
Bad news: the input latency is 5 frames.
For turn based or strategy games would be fine, but as far as I'm concerned that's unacceptable for fast paced action games.
I don't know whether playing in P2P mode would improve things. If so, at least two of us would need to get our computers set up for it at the same time to gauge how well it performs. The setup instructions I found are here: thenewnet.eu/en/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=337&Itemid=300
While looking around online I also learned that on Nintendo Switch, the free NES games they give you if you pay for their online service all have online coop built in. Super Mario 3 is one of the included games, so that might be worth looking into if anyone wants.
If there's no interest in trying that, I'm also open to playing other 10 year old games with online play built in, even if it's like a re-release of a Steam or GOG game. There is also something called X-Link Kai for tunneling PS2 and XBOX LAN games over the Internet. There is also something similar for playing online multiplayer Dreamcast games.
