Someone give me a basic NETPLAY guide

Zerrik · Post by **Zerrik** » Sun Jan 01, 2006 5:18 am

Ok, can anyone help me with how to connect NETPLAY? My computer sucks, but here's the stats:

P2 Prcessor, 233MHz
128MB RAM
ZSNES Version: 1.42n
Game: Final Fantasy 3
Graphics Card: I'm embarrassed by it...it has 2MB, but ZSNES works well.

Ok, I'm using v1.42n, and so it my friend. We downloaded the exact same version and game from the exact same site with the same file names. I tried everything: I put in my IP and started the server while my friend connected, and vice versa. And we've both tried connecting, mixing around who uses whose IP and everyting, nothing has worked. Can anyone tell me a SPECIFIC way to set it up properly; an easy guide. Please, I do not get this. Someone post some kind of guide or a specific guide to a site or anything. Thx.

P.S: My friend's computer is amazing, nothing wrong with it, our firewalls are down and I use a router and he doesnt.

This board is filled with "easy" and "simple" guides. Try reading the stickies first. Did you configured your router?

Configure? What do you mean by that.

If you can't figure that out, there isn't an easier way either.

Well i've found out that you should probably interpret your rom path in zbattle to whatever game you are trying to play if you are the host. Other than that, it seems to me that sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I"ve had my far share of having someone input my ip or vice versa and they didn't show up on chat in zsnes. Most of the time though, i use zbattle to select a game and host it.
