Dolphin Online - Melee Netplay

[Y-L]

I've done so, and for the offline single player it works, but when i start the game in a netplay session it sais that there is not a save game file in the memory card >_<

The two of us have the same save game file and we've turned off all cheats

Only one of you needs a memory card. You go to configure pads on the netplay window->turn on your memory card.

I seem to have a problem with desync with my friend Jake. He's from Ohio and i'm from Texas and the game itself runs well and hardly lags but we'll do the first match fine then it desyncs. We have the same dolphin and rom and we doubled checked everything multiple times and I really don't know what else it could be. Would really appreciate it if somebody could reply with help!

ps: mine works with everyone just not with him

Check wiimotes, memory cards, cheat codes, screen resolution.

Does anyone know how to troubleshoot (maybe even go over through teamviewer) connection problems when trying to host or join a lobby? I've tried everything and still every time I get the "disconnected" error when connecting to others.

When is recording input going to be brought back?

Any word on the next version progress?

Comex has been pretty inactive atm but again UDP netplay and NAND sync is what's needed for the switch to fully be made.

I've desynced with 90% of the people I've connected to on Anther's Ladder. I thought I followed the guide but I must be missing something. When I launch the game I start at the CSS but desync after playing on a stage for a few seconds.

My relevant Dolphin settings:

Are any of these known to cause problems? I tried changing most of the graphical ones around but it doesn't seem to make a difference.

Graphic settings are local, they wont desync you. Did you verify your md5 checksum of your melee iso to ensure it isn't a bad dump?

We've checked all that and i don't think resolution has to do with desync but even so we've also tried that.

Double checked. I used this hash: 0e63d4223b01d9aba596259dc155a174. It says "The Codes Match!", so I guess that's not the problem.

If you or your partner have the 20xx hack pack as an iso that will conflict with your normal melee iso. The reason for this is that they have the same game id (GALE01) and thus dolphin can't differentiate them when choosing a netplay game. What is probably happening is that one of you is booting up 20xx while the other is booting normal melee. Either change the game id of the iso using a hex editor or game id editor (I recommend this, it's super easy;if you do this make sure to hit view->purge cache in Dolphin for the change to take effect) or put the iso in a different directory so Dolphin doesn't see both.

I moved my 20XX iso to a different folder and everything seems to be going smoothly, no desyncs. Thanks.

4.0-652 Dolphin doesn't emulate for me followed all the settings just get a black screen then an eventual crash. other versions of dolphin work 100% on my computer has anyone else had this issue?

 

[swiftwinter]

Does being host give you less delay? Cause I swear, I host a game by myself and set the buffer to 5 and play against a CPU to get used to the buffer and I can do everything fine. Then I go play against someone and they host and set the buffer to 5 and I can't do anything. Feels like two completely different timings.

I'm sorry if this is rude to ask, but could someone put a bit of pressure on Comex, given that 3.5 is coming soon. It would be great to have a new Netplay build around the same time as the new release of Project M. Bring more low performance setups in.

I'm having a problem connecting with netplay. I successfully connected once, but now I can no longer connect, nor can people connect to me if I host. My Windows Firewall is not blocking Dolphin, and I haven't changed anything since I got it to work the first time. I would really appreciate if someone could help thanks!

I had that issue too; check if your GPU is nvidia brand. If so, switching your graphics settings to OpenGL should fix the problem.

Hello, I got a problem. I didn't play Smash on Dolphin for ~3 weeks and when I started it again I experienced a lot of spikes. Not lagspikes, simply spikes. Happens offline aswell. I didn't change anything (4.0-652 since a couple of months, always the same) in the time I didn't use Dolphin.
Any suggestions?

Can I get PM on the same dolphin build linked in the OP or is it just for melee netplay?

The same one, use 4.0-652.

 

[smoke070]

The dolphin forums under hardware. They'll need the model number of your i5 though.

Is it possible to play Netplay with PAL version of it?

 

[Y-L]

Is it possible to play Netplay with PAL version of it?

Only if your opponent is also using PAL.

 

[Kim Steinbach-Reif]

Only if your opponent is also using PAL.

Yeah well, but how do I get the PAL version? I suppose the standard Melee ISO which is used for Netplay is NTSC, no?

You can rip your pal iso off your disc with clean rip, alternatively the 20xx hack pack has pal character functionality.

Just change the game id or keep it in a separate place than your ntsc iso as dolphin can't tell the difference between any of those since the game ids are the same.

But yes ntsc is the standard.

Is there any way this will work with Mac OS X 10.6.8? All of the up to date Dolphin emulator downloads seem to require a 10.7 at least.

Also, I can't find a Super Smash Bros. Melee Revision 2 (1.02) ISO file anywhere. Lots of pages say they've been taken down for copyright? Can anyone help?

Edit: I was able to download version 3.5 of Dolphin and that works on my computer, but will this be able to connect properly with other people online using more updated versions?

No you'd have to update your os.

Downloading isos on the internet is illegal, you can dump the iso from your disc using Cleanrip.

3.5 is not compatible with 4.0+ for Netplay.

I need some help, when i try to run melee all I get is a black screen

I have a ping of 28, DL speed of 9mb/s, and upload speed of 1.82 mb/s and its just not fast enough for melee netplay. Is there anything at all i can do?

You could get better internet. I don't know what else you think would work.

Try an ethernet connection if you're on wireless..

Sometimes when I'm playing falco my turn around lasers don't come out and other times I'm going for a straight laser and a turnaround laser comes out. I'm pretty sure I set my controls right in dolphin but it keeps happening and it gets really annoying.... Is it a controller fault or is it dolphin? because I literally just bought this controller.

Screenshot settings?
