Once there, tap right on the d-pad to get to the “Netplay” menu. Or if you’re booting directly into RetroArch, you’re already in the Main Menu. Once you have launched a game, press your hotkeys to enter into the RetroArch Quick Menu (元 +R3 for stock RG351P firmware, for example), then back out to the Main Menu. Both devices will see the same thing on their screen, much like when playing on the same TV. So really, just think of NetPlay as a way to play classic retro games (8-bit and 16-bit) together in multiplayer gameplay, much like two controllers hooked up to the same console/TV back in the day. Similarly, link cable connections (such as with Game Boy or Game Boy Advance) is not possible, so no trading Pokemans. But for example, performance requirements prevent PS1, Dreamcast, and Nintendo 64 multiplayer from working in RetroArch. Theoretically, any core that supports save states should work. Not every single RetroArch cores will work with NetPlay. If you are using the RG351P or RGB10, here is a list of WiFi adapters that work well.

It's much easier than usual netplay, you have nothing to configure, just connect to a server there're still plenty of them and play.

Now, I'll be totally honest with you, there's another way to play games online is about using kaillera. If you managed to configure everything it should work. And the client must connect by entering external IP address and port. Normally, you'll get that message: "SERVER: Waiting for a response from the client. Now, the host must check in netplay > Act as a server and wait for his client to connect. > That means that your friend act as client, so he has nothing to configure. Then, you need to know your external ip address that you will communicate to your friend so that he can join you. > That means that you act as server so check that option. By default, the port that is configured by default on RASnes9X is 6096 so try to keep the same. Netplay requires that you configure a few things in order to work: It's all about networking !įirst, if you are the host, you must open the port on your router to allow to join the external IP address (that one given by your ISP).
