I have a friend who doesn't have the best computer and I was wondering if there is any software out there where I could do some kind of peer to peer, game hosting for them.

There is this game called Runescape that there computer can't run very well so i was wondering if there was a program that kind of created a virtual machine that they can control while I can use my computer like nothing is affecting it, by virtual machine I'm think like it would run the game through my hardware and stream it like a video to them or something. This kind of software isn't going to exist but if it does that would be awesome :p

Remember "Onlive"? I'm kinda looking for something like that but I would be the host.

No, that won't work.

A game server to host the guts of the game, and then each client to play as normal....that is the way all online games work.
But to actually host and play over the internet to a low powered PC....nope.

Onlive it's self actually just streams video of the game that can be controlled normally, I was just wondering if there is any software that is like this for private use
