Hey guys, It's Jed. At the request of @MadeManG74 , i'll be writing a short post on something major that happened to VF recently.

Some new advancements in Naomi 2 emulation have recently been made by Flyinghead, the same guy who brought rollback netcode to VF3tb last year. VF4, VF4EVO, and VF4FT are now all supported by Flycast which has built in Rollback Netcode, Training Mode, and some nice QOL features that make getting into VF4 much easier and more fun in 2022.



-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How do I get started?

Setting up the emulator and jumping into games is pretty easy, you can download the latest emulator builds here: https://github.com/blueminder/flycast-dojo/releases

Underneath there is a short guide showing you which files you need, and if any help is needed there is plenty of people willing to help in the Virtua Fighter discord.

Where can I find players to play with?

The VF Discord has a dedicated VF4 matchmaking channel that has only grown over the last few weeks, this is where the VF4 online community resides at the moment. The discord also has a VF4 strategy channel to help people learn the game, and other channels discuss it with each other. There is now over 1300 people in the server, Here is an invite: https://discord.gg/M4aqT96
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I really hope we can continue growing the VF community; whether that be VF3, VF4, or VF5. Virtua Fighter 4 will likely be hitting Fightcade with VF3 very soon which will see a large increase in VF4 players and make setting up just a tiny bit more convenient. Until then, if anyone has any questions please feel free to send me a message.
