Dolphin Online - Melee Netplay

[Upke]

It would be A LOT better, and we've already done so before, but the consensus seems to be that "IRCs are too confusing for people", which I don't understand at all.

My friend and I are having trouble getting this to work. We both get the erro "game not found" when the other tries hosting. If I host a game and start it BY MYSELF it still doesn't start. I just get a black screen. I can start the game just fine offline and I already configured the ROM directory. Please help!

 

[Upke]

I haven't heard about the "game not found" error, but when you are trying to host and play the game by yourself, are you making sure to have only one port occupied by a controller (under config-Gamecube)? Having a different amount of players and controllers is an often cause for a black screen that won't load anything.

 

[Chiral]

"game not found error" is because your friend didn't set the path of the ISO or because you are using a different versions of smash. You get a black screen, when you try hosting by yourself because you have 2 controller ports set to standard controller, when there is only 1 player. To fix this, go to config->gamecube and make sure you only have port 1 set to standard controller. Or in the dolphin netplay window, you can click on your name and press configure pad, then set your in game pad to be the same as how many standard controllers you have set in your device settings.

 

[Nintendude]

Ok I got it working but I'm getting a boatload of input lag...

 

[Upke]

What's the pad buffer at?

 

[Hellopppp]

If IRC is too complicated for some to set up, why not just create a mibbit link to the channel in this thread? As much as I prefer an actual desktop client, mibbit, a web based client definitely will simplify things.

 

[Upke]

I dunno. I keep asking for one because Skype is a rank lady of the night, but it doesn't happen.

 

[Nintendude]

Nevermind I fixed the input lag by changing the pad buffer. This is awesome. I recorded a few matches with my friend and other than the occasional desynch it runs perfectly!

btw, you guys can use the reddit r/smashbros chatroom if you want. I already have it set up.

 

[Upke]

I don't know **** about Reddit, but if you wanna get added to the Skype call, you can let me know. Also, we should play some ASAP because my only recorded match from netplay is me being bodied.

We had one months ago, and now it's deserted.

Just here to say that Melee netplay is amazing.

 

[Upke]

Just here to say that Melee netplay is amazing.

I second this.

 

[Hellopppp]

Just here to say that Melee netplay is amazing.

Just to point it out, I played with danny earlier today, and the netplay performance was decent enough for a person in puerto rico to play with a person in east coast with decently tolerable latency.

My friend and I recorded some footage of Dolphin netplay in action:

[Gatoray]

Hey guys. I got Melee set up and I'm really itching to play someone online! If someone could add me to the skype group my username is "stealingvision". Thanks!

 

[Xenophon]

Hey guys - I've gotten netplay working but it is really slow on my 2nd gen i7 mobile processor. I've read a couple things about how to increase performance, the most notable being a "30 fps code", but I've been having trouble finding information about it. Could someone please explain / link me to a thread explaining it? Thanks. Also, feel free to add me on steam: ThatCombatWombat so that we can organize some games

Edit: I rescind my statement as I've figured out how it works. But really, feel free to add me on steam.

There's a Skype group, everyone's on it.

You can message just about any of us with your skype name and we'll help to add you to the group.

 

[oukd]

[Xenophon]

Alright, well then if someone could add me to the skype group it would be greatly appreciated. Username: tehcombetwombet

[danny135]

[bearsfan092]

Could someone please add bearsfan092 to the skype group? My USB adapter isn't here yet, but I'm gonna be all over this when it comes in.

 

[Cursed Yoma]

well i just got this, no usb adapter yet, but i do have an Xbox controller i can use.
what's the easiest ways to get to play people? i see theres a steam group i joined and there's a skype group..
but i would like to find some people to regularly play against.. a lot of the stuff sounds confusing so i wanna play at least a round or two to see how online play works on this computer and see if i need to change/update anything..
just playing it vs computers i don't see much slowdown/lag.. on certain stages yeah, haven't played many matches, just kinda played it to test the controller..

 

[Upke]

Skype is definitely your best bet. Any one of us can add you. Just PM your Skype name or post here or whatever.

 

[Cursed Yoma]

okay well this is my friends Skype account, but i doubt he'll care..
all we have is a Mic, no webcam or nothing like that..
name is jbond232
i've never used skype or dolphin before so i'm a real newb when it comes to this .. so basically once i get added to the group how do i go about finding a person to play?

 

[Upke]

I'll add you to a conversation and you can just ask people if they want to play (in text form).

 

[nmn]

To be fair, I tried an IRC channel. I was usually the only person there for literally days at a time. The thing about Skype is that people have it installed, and therefore can be on all the time, not just when they have a browser open. That and yes, IRC confuses people. Even mibbit. I have no idea why or how to make things better. Skype is not even loading on my computer anymore thanks to bugs in the Linux version, believe me, the last thing I want is to have to use Skype.

 

[KnitePhox]

use bootleg windows, problem solved

 

[Upke]

Well, now Hellopppp and I are idling in the IRC for days.

 

[Divinokage]

I can maybe get an adapter from a friend and try it out soon. =)

 

[Upke]

Woo, sounds good! We already have a healthy amount of Canadian players too, so that means close to no lag.

 

[Divinokage]

If it's as good as xbox live then it's pretty damn good! lol.

 

[p1ns]

After two weeks offline I connect again to skype group but all I find is that messages in the group do not get delivered :/

 

[Upke]

Yeah, Skype is a ****ing cheeky ****, mate.

 

[pokemongeof]

eh. Add me!

skype: pokemongeof

 

[Chiral]

There are way too many people in the skype group -.-. We need to start using the IRC ..https://qchat.rizon.net/?channels=dolphin-ssbm&uio=Nz10cnVlJjk9MzU3fe
