Howdy,
Not sure if this goes to the modding or general but here goes-
I am not previously involved with this community however someone asked me if I could raise the player cap for this project.
I am an MMO developer and dense multiplayer simulations are something I have a history with in terms of architecture.
The changes: Add high-density multiplayer support by MeganerdDev · Pull Request #1348 · coop-deluxe/sm64coopdx
Overview
Do we need a colloquial name to refer to this change? If so please dub/cite the change as dense-254
Some metrics
What the metrics tell us: 96 to 128 is reasonable to host from my machine, CPU is the bottleneck not network fanout
