Hello. My friend and I started playing some Melee with Netplay on Dolphin and we are enjoying very much lag. We both have good specs and internet, and same gecko codes. So we decided to search for a solution. Is there a way to make an own melee netplay server without lags?

Own Server for Netplay?

How have you been playing so far? Have you tried using direct connection?
First of all, what exactly are you referring to when you say "lags", you mean lag spikes or generally high lag?
I recommend doing a ping test between each of your computers and a large website like google or smashboards. Here's how to do a simple ping test to google in windows:
Open the command prompt and enter:
ping google.com -n 50
The part that say "time=___ms" is the ping. Both of you should do this.
If the ping varies by more than a couple ms, your connection isn't very stable and it's your connection that causes the lag spikes. If this is the case it might be because of other people using bandwidth at the same time, a bad router/modem, a bad wireless card or simply bad wiring.
