Can two players control the same controller over netplay?
I've tried a few different things to get around it, but nothing has worked so far. Basically, my friend and I want to play through RPGs together. Some RPGs like FF5 let you switch control of certain characters over to another port, but not all of them do. If we could just map both our controllers to port 1, we could just manage it ourselves. I didn't notice any way to do this in ZSNES. I tried using the option that maps controllers 3 and 4 to 1 and 2, but that hasn't worked for me. I tried to think of a way using hamachi or some other external program that would let me do it, but I've come up short. Is there a way to do this within ZSNES, and if not, do any of you know another way to pull it off?

Re: Can two players control the same controller over netplay
the situation you describe sounds like you want player1 and player2, so why do you want to play two player with both of you as player1?

I'm not sure what you're asking, and your sig bothers me. I want both clients to be able to control the first player.sweener2001 wrote:the situation you describe sounds like you want player1 and player2, so why do you want to play two player with both of you as player1?

Because he's trying to force multiplayer down the throat of a single-player game. High-tech fancy-pants way of passing the controller.sweener2001 wrote:the situation you describe sounds like you want player1 and player2, so why do you want to play two player with both of you as player1?

Can this be done in any way other than pressing escape and re-assigning controller ports every time you want to switch?grinvader wrote:Passing the controller is supported in znetplay.
