Dolphin Online - Melee Netplay

[-smuffy-]

Hey so I've got Dolphin set up and i'm running fine, but can't connect to netplay. I keep getting the "failed to connect" message. Here is what i've tried so far, anyone know of anything else that I could try?

-Got dolphin 4.0-7840, and read the anther's ladder guide to set it up
-Allowed dolphin through my firewall
-Forwarded port 6262 (i didn't know which one was right, but assumed it was 6262)

Any input would be awesome. thanks!

Set the buffer to 100 and see if it still lags. If it doesn't, then it's a connection issue, if it does continue to lag, it's hardware.

Sup Y-L you should stop by my ladder some time. barbiesladder.com

Hey, not sure where to ask this but I had a question about screen lag. To minimize input lag I was wondering if for Dolphin I should use my laptop screen, or an external monitor connected with a VGA cable? Laptop is a non gaming laptop (Lenovo T430), while the screen is a gaming monitor (ASUS VX248H) which should have 10ms of input delay

I thought that just using the main screen would be less delay because it doesn't need to connect to anything, but reading around it seems like most laptop screens have inherent delay, while the gaming monitor, tho having lag, would be less.

Also, if I play on a CRT in the future, is there some sort of VGA to Video cable converter to connect my laptop to the TV? Do these sorts of converters have lag / is there a preferred way to connect laptops to CRTs?

Any knowledge shared would be greatly appreciated ^^

Keep in mind response time =/= input lag. The monitor is probably better but I can't really say, just test both.

You can pick up a crt monitor for cheap.

Nice, seems like a huge waste of time

It does... doesn't it? I was perfectly willing to work with you guys to find an appropriate middle ground between allowing E2xD harass me through giving me constant mini rank bans for made up rules or a full blown perma ban, but you guys werent :/... This is my huge waste of time solution.

I have the newest version of dolphin and I downloaded the iso from emu paradise should I get it from somewhere else?

 

[Maniak]

What 20xx version is everyone running for PC Dolphin?

Edit: fixed my problem had to disable netplay to prevent crashing

Ive been getting ping spikes for a long time I'll look at the ping and for the most part it will be in the right ping area for the buffer i have set then it spikes to 100 or something stupid . I am using wired connection. Ive reinstalled windows,gotten a new modem and router etc. Could it just be that comcast is ****ty ? Is there anything else I could try ? Possible a new pc would help ?

Hey guys. I'm trying to set up netplay on my computer, and (surprise) I'm encountering difficulties.

I have the KELUX gamecube controller adapter, and I am trying to connect it using Zadig. I know that it is possible to use this adapter with Dolphin because it has worked previously, but evidently something has changed. I could not tell you what happened. I could connect it just find one day, I didn't play on Dolphin for a couple of months, then when I came back it would not connect.
(if it matters, I am using windows 10)

I open Zadig, and select options>list all devices.
I then select WUP-028.
I succesfully install the WinUSB (v6.1.7600.16385) driver (or so it tells me).
I then open Dolphin 4.0.7840.
I go to options>controller settings.
The direct connect box is checked.
All wiimotes say "none".
All GC controller ports say none except for the first, which says "standard controller."
I click "configure."
Under the "Pad [1]" tab, I try to find WUP-028 under devices, but it is not there.
I try plugging the adapter into all of the different usb ports, but none of them help.
I have tried installing it to the libusb0 and libusbK drivers, but they more problems and do not register in Dolphin either.

I also have "Wii U USB GCN Adapter v3.2.1" (by Matt Cunningham) downloaded to my computer. When I run that, Dolphin recognizes 4 other controller devices, none of them correspond with my controller.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I tried to include all relevant information, but let me know if I need to state anything else.

I don't know, but I'm running on a MacBook Pro with 0 issues if that helps.

So I returned after a long hiatus. It's fun but man those peaches are rough. Also too many foxes and falcos. Oh well 20xx I guess.

Also im the reason Roy's win ratio is going down. It's a tough life but I look cool while losing. Fire!

 

[007-jake]

Can someone please help with a minor issue? I can run melee netplay and all, but it has no sound. Suggestions? Running Windows 7, 9800gtx video card, 790i tri sli mobo.

 

[Blizzen]

Issue with playing: After running the iso with dolphin, everything launches fine, but no controls are resposive so I cannot get past the Memory Card A Reformat screen. Any suggestions?

Hey guys, I’m having some issues with Netplay, i was able to host for 2 friends using the Direct method (port forwarded 2626 utc /udp on my router, same ports with Windows firewall).

Now, 3-4 months later (no idea what changed), same friends:

• one of them can only connect to me using traversal (port forwarded 6262 utc /udp on my router, same with Windows firewall, created exceptions for dolphin [.exe and folder] on windows firewall and windows defender, I don’t use other anti-virus)
• the other friend just can’t connect (both traversal and direct give the message ‘failed to connect’).**Update: This friend was able to connet to a random guy in anther's ladder chat, using traversal, but can't connect to me.
• Tried disabling both Windows Defender and Windows firewall and it didn't help.
• Reset Traversal Settings didn't help either

We have the same ISO, and Dolphin version: 4.0-7840

Any ideas on what might be the problem? Thanks in advance and sorry if I messed up badly with my English, it’s not my main language.
Solved.

 

[Profane]

EVERYONE READING THIS GUIDE PLEASE STOP USING THIS ADVICE, IT IS ALMOST THREE YEARS OUTDATED NOW. To set up netplay for actual netplay, use 4.0-7840. Everything you need is at https://www.smashladder.com/help/netplay-guides

So, I know that there are a lot of controllers that 64 players use to play on consoles, like keyboard controllers because of so many 64 players having netplay backgrounds. I was wondering if there were any adapters or methods for getting a 360 controller to run on a Gamecube? I started playing netplay and I've quickly come to like the 360 controller way more than the gamecube controller and really want to use it in tournaments. The only downside is I right now have less control over my shield.

Like, I've seen a GC->64 adapter that had some weird lights and switches on it at a Xanadu and they were able to set it up manually. I guess that's a different beast, but keyboard->n64 gives me hope for a 360 controller on a gamecube.

Guys, any help? https://gyazo.com/e4cef917ed69064f25d7ac4dc7b22fac i dont get any ID code. Anybody know a fix for this?

Ive been having ping spikes in dolphin for a very long time. Usually I have good ping in the 30s range but it spikes really fast to 80 or 100 or something just enough to make the games choppy. Its a wired connection. Ive gotten a new router and a new modem and still hasn't helped. Ive also tried different Ethernet cords. Nothings really helping. Weirdly my ping does NOT spike at all in CSGO. What is different about dolphin that might give a clue what is wrong ? anything ?

 

[BirdmanJR]

If ALL I care about is input lag is there monitors with less input lag than my XL2420Z ? Anything with less input lag than my XL2420Z ? Even CRT monitors ? Even if its just a small difference Id like to know.

http://www.cnet.com/products/aoc-ct720g-17-crt-monitor/
I would need to get a DVI to VGA conveter. Would this have much less input lag than the BenQ?

 

[Mr.Nugget43]

I want to play now!

Yo Y-L, even smashboards seems to think I'm alright if they would give me supermod/senator status. Its about time E2xD builds a bridge and gets over me already so I can go back on smashladder

They moved it to Gecko codes at some point. Check there or you are using a super outdated dolphin (as far as I can remember you aren't but I honestly don't know what version is what)

How can I improve my ping? It's good a lot of the time (40ms or lower), but I want better. From my understanding a second either net cable to my PC will greatly improve my speed.
Is there a way to send larger packets of data or is that not worth trying?
Also is there a program I could run to hog all the bandwidth? Maybe push more Internet through my port on the modem?
Honestly I don't know much about this stuff.

Increasing your bandwidth wont decrease your ping once you reach the low threshold. You could only move physically closer to your opponent.

What is it people use for connecting their controllers to PC? I have a Mayflash adapter and several controllers, but don't know what program is best used for this.
pls respond with lots of emojis

I use the official Nintendo game cube addaptor. Folding is automatically compatible with it. Just google Nintendo game cube addaptor driver and install the driver. I've never had a problem with it.

Alright great. I've been using Joy2Key for a while, and I think there's some lag with it, so I'll have to try to do that when I get home.
Thanks a bunch, man.

Would my laptop be able to handle netplay?

Processor: Intel Core i5-4210M CPU @ 2.60GHz

RAM: 6,00 GB

System Type: 64-bits, x64-processor

Graphic card: Nvidia Geforce 825M

is there a thread somewhere on smashboards where I can look for someone to play on netplay with consistently?

I'm having a hard time figuring this out:

I have a new inspiron 15 7559 laptop with gtx960m graphics card, i7 processor and 8 gb of ram. I am trying to play melee online with a Wii U adapter, but ive downloaded dolphin three times, only to find that all of the versions either cant use a wii u adapter, (4.0.2 x86), get horribly choppy (4.0-4599 x64) or are locked at 30fps for no discernable reason (4.0-9461 x64).

I havent even tried netplay because I cannot figure this out.

I am very confused, and finding the answer to this problem is frustrating. Can someone direct me to a version of dolphin that (to repeat)

1) Plays Melee at 60fps (or help me figure out a correct setting)
2) can use a wii u adapter
3) doesnt throw the video and audio into a blender, forcing you to frame skip.


I'm sorry if there is an easy solution i missed, i hope someone can help me

I believe Anther's ladder used 4.0-7840. Try that and fiddle with the settings if it isn't running smoothly

 

[Meistermayo]

Thanks, everything seems to be in order working with the Anther guide. However, When i first played melee, it ran at 60 fine, and I had some slightly laggy netplay matches with people in the neighborhood. (This may have just been due to me being upstairs, away from the router). However, once I turned melee back on after it running at 60, its suddenly stuck at 30 again!

Its completely bizarre, why would the emulator insist on using 30fps? I've fiddled with just about every setting in Dolphin, and I have not found a solution. Nothing affects the frame rate except frame skipping which just throws the game into a blender.

I'm completely lost

Does your monitor only display at 30fps?
