1. Download Dolphin 5.0 Emulator (Everyone on the same version, less issues overall)
>If you want to use your special version for netplay, go ahead. No one gives a fuck.
2. Download GameCube ISOs from emuparadise.me (Mario Party, Mario Kart, Air Ride, etc)
3. Tools -> Start Netplay -> Host a room and post the room code, or wait for a code to be posted
General guidelines so you don't fuck shit up for everyone else:
>Config -> GameCube -> Slot A/B "<Nothing>"
>Dolphin window -> Right click game -> Properties - > Disable "Speed up Disc Transfer Rate"
>Turn off any widescreen hacks if you have any on (If you literally just downloaded Dolphin, don't worry about it)
>Some games may require you have cheats enabled to unlock everything (Config -> General -> "Enable Cheats"). Just leaving it on won't mess anything up
>LEAVE EVERYTHING ELSE ALONE
If you're new and it's your first time hosting:
Pad the buffer somewhere between 15 - 30. If you need to go over 30, don't bother hosting.

Most modern FPS's work that way though. They either take raw mouse input or lock your cursor to the center of the screen.

Up to 5 it just said that everybody SHOULD use the same version, 5's screen say everybody MUST have the same one. Don't know if it will block other ones from connecting.
I also really wonder if it really WILL always desync with different versions or if that is just a safety measure.

If you want to join
>Start netplay

When you're in the "Dolphin NetPlay Setup" window, set your connection type to "Traversal Server", then follow >>343893128
>>343892995
Open netplay and start a game, choose a port and check forward "port box", give your IP and the chosen port to people, they can now connect to you as host.
Alternatively if managing those two whole numbers at once is too much for some people 5 now has the retard- option, open a game and on the window now has an 8- symbol code for your room at the top, share that one.

Huh? How? I know 2 is on virtual console, but 1 and 3 aren't.

I think 6 just has the better pacing on the boards. Plus some of the gimmick boards are pretty great, like Faire Square and the clocktower.
>>343879316
>choosing to play mario party
>>343904120
6 isn't bad by any means, but 5's capsule gimmick is a lot more interesting then 6's day/night stuff
Especially if you house rule in that you have to throw an item when you get it, and you can't replace an already used space, which makes it so the entire board does crazy shit
I also feel like 5 has more/better games because they didn't have to waste time developing for the stupid microphone but I dunno how true that is.

I really wanna play with you guys, but for some reason, on Dolphin 5.0, I suffer massive framerate dips. I can't even get to 5 FPS on any game. I have no idea why.

I think it'd be easier if someone compiled a quintessential netplay memory card that has 100% unlocked for the most popular netplay games. No need for AR at that point.
>>343909872
If you want to play melee online there's a built in dolphin code for netplay, and that what everyone would use
But for other games that might be the best solution

Not hard to make one yourselves.
Someone can get 100% saves in gamefaqs or something, make a memory card called netplayv.raw and upload it so we can download it.
If someone plays Mario Tennis I can provide a save with everything unlocked for multiplayer since I haven't found any saves/codes for the Gamecube version.

buffering.
Each player has a ping, the one with the highest sets the input lag for all of them, if a game runs at 60 fps a 500ms ping would mean all players controls are delayed half a second or 30 frames. This delay ensures all controls are recieved the same time.
>>343911021
right click game in dolphin --> properties --> AR Codes tab --> Add
>>343911101
Yeah, but say there's a game that uses a random number generator, how do we ensure everyone stays on the same page?

These things are why all players always are supposed to have the same emulator and even the same version.
Though I still want to connect with my 4.0 and see if it really desynchs.
>>343879316
Curious - what does turning off Speed Up Disc Transfer Rate do?
>>343879316
>15-30 buffer
Just divide the other person's ping by 17 and that gives you around the most efficient buffer. A buffer of 15 is fucking high as shit. I can play cross country (US) with a buffer around 7 at the highest.
>>343909053
Options->Gamecube->slot A->Memory card
I noticed that some of my roms are isos and some are gcm files, but they are all the same exact size. Does that impact netplay at all?
>>343911951
we just normally play with a 23 buffer and it works fine until someone's ping spikes
>>343911681
ya we're getting that error too, unsure if the codes work atm
>>343912071
All players should have the same rom and they're pretty much always ISOs, idk what's gcm but even if you could host something you'd force others to download that rom
>>343912071
You gotta use the same files as the other people.
Is Crystal Chronicles possible with this?
