You should use the edit button next time.

Back to your problem, maybe the both of you should try using 1.42?

wait I think I have it figured out my Personal IP is 192.168.1.101 and I put 192.168.1.100 for the forwarding, you think that could have been the problem?

Probably.

No... Yes... You can't, the game doesn't even allow it on a real SNES.

3 computer netplay is not implemented.
The game SD3 does not have 3 players implemented, either.

Ok, from current CVS on, ZSNES will not be able to Netplay until we finish writing a new, better netplay feature.

Clicking on the 'netplay' button shouldn't crash, it should just do nothing.

[edit - less engrish now thanks to awesome powers at work]

So is DOS netplay permanently dead, or will it be there for 1.43?

Well, I can't promise anything, but we'll try and make the new netplay code port-independant...

Unless there's some sort of library for UDP or TCP/IP in DOS, I think it's dead.

Something like this, perhaps...?

Perhaps. If someone would look at some of the libs out there and see which one we can legally use with ZSNES and can be used with DJGPP. It would be nice.

So...would I have the approval of the devs if I removed all mentions of IPX support in the docs for 1.43? Or should I wait for now?

Post by **Nach** » Thu Apr 21, 2005 10:26 pm

You have my approval.

Good, now all we need is for someone to remove the IPX option from the GUI (if it isn't already), so that we can put a new image of the DOS netplay menu in the docs.

Post by **Nach** » Fri Apr 22, 2005 4:06 am

I don't know if DOS will have netplay anymore. Odds are it won't. If it does, it'll be the same thing Windows and *nix have.

No, you are just impatient. Give it a minute or more to load...I hate n00bs who don't listen to me, but that's me...

Lifter · Post by **Lifter** » Fri May 27, 2005 9:02 pm

Hmm, new here, first post.
Yes, im experiencing problems too on 1.42 version Netplay, it crashes and lags a LOT. Not normal, in 1.36 it doesnt lag, but its just crashing some seconds/minutes (its random) after I load the game, its very weird, when it crashes i need to double ESC, so i assume the second player, save state, and then load state when I create a serv again.
I already tried a lot of games, and it happens in all.

Could you help me?

PS: I already tried with a lot of friends, happened with all, then i went to another PC, (i got a win 98 and a win xp), crashed too.
I dont know what to do now

PS2: thats just happening now, when i used to play 1-2 years ago, it was perfect.

im on 1.42 and everything just works fine (bust a move, top gear2, contra3,lemmings,pieces,super double dragon, mario kart, super bowling,rampart etc)

1mega Dsl conexion

amd k6 III 450mhz
224mo sdramm
tnt2 ultra 32mo

it seems that when i sometimes desynch, its due to a too big difference between my conexion speed and the one of the other player.

But most of the time (90%) when i play with someone who has 512/1meg/2meg or + conexion speed its just fine.

excuse my awful english .

1.42 netplay worked on a lan for both turtles in time and kirby's dream course, but with udp enabled, the client kept "jumping" when I turned the latency down. It looked kind of like a typewriter effect.

Speaking of typewriter, did you know you can type the word "typewriter" with just the top line on a querty keyboard? It was so salesman could demonstrate the machine quickly.

Demonis · Post by **Demonis** » Sat Jul 23, 2005 8:34 am

Okay, me and a friend have had the same problems described.

here is what we have tried, what worked, and what didnt.

Tested in versions 1.36 AND 1.42

Only game tested : TMNT: Turtles in time

I do not know his computer specs, mine are as follows:

AMD Athlon XP Barton 2500+
gig ram (two sticks)
120gb Maxtor
Asus A7n8x mobo deluxe
windows XP pro - sp1 - all drivers updated, most windows updates/security risks installed.

okay. First we tried both versions using udp, and tcp on the port zsnes gives. None of it works. I cant connect to him, nor him me. Then i changed my port to 8080 and he could connect to me, but not me to him. He is on DSL, im on 56k.

I believe it may just be a windows port issue. Many ports have been closed up due to vulnerabilities in windows, and im sure windows has many underlying software programs running to monitor unspecified ports as well. I think the whole problem is a port issue, on which ports are accepted on the server, as well as possibly the connection.

I made a topic without reading this one, so I guess I'll say it here:

I've been using ZSNES for a long time through most of the releases, and the ~only~ feature I want to work at this point is the quicksave in multiplayer. I thought I was having a problem, but apparently it's not supported...it'd be great if it was.

I don't understand much of the coding, I'm sure it's difficult, but I'd really appreciate it if it worked.

Post by **Nach** » Tue Sep 06, 2005 9:22 am

Small update:

I just wanted to say we may release a version of v1.42 in the near future that should be mostly identical except have stable netplay.

However in the WIPs we currently are netplayless and will be till the new more powerful netplay core is completed.

sweet!

awesome.

still greatly looking forward to the new netplay code, and the new gui...
