Install questions

Is Baseball Stars 2 free?

No. It is a paid DRM-free GOG title. PlayBound does not host the installer or ROM.

Is this the same as Baseball Stars?

How does online multiplayer work?

PlayBound Connect plus RetroArch netplay (FBNeo) syncs two players. See /guides/retroarch-netplay.
