>>86125174To ensure Dolphin netplay works smoothly for people from various countries to play together, here are some key considerations:
1. Stable Internet Connection (lmao)
All players should have a stable and high-speed internet connection. A wired connection is preferable to reduce latency and packet loss.
2. Port Forwarding
If hosting a game, the host needs to forward the correct ports on their router. The default port for Dolphin netplay is 2626. Players can refer to their router’s manual for instructions on how to set up port forwarding.
3. Dolphin Configuration
Ensure that all players are using the same version of Dolphin and the same settings. Discrepancies in settings can cause compatibility issues.
4. Regional Settings
Players should set their region settings in Dolphin to match each other to avoid compatibility issues.
6. Connecting via Netplay
Use the Netplay feature in Dolphin:
The host selects “Start Netplay” and shares the Room Code with other players.
Other players choose “Connect to Netplay” and enter the Room Code.
9. Latency Considerations (lmao)
Players from different regions may experience varying levels of latency. Discussing expectations for latency beforehand can help manage the gaming experience.
10. Firewall Settings
Ensure that firewalls on all players' computers allow Dolphin to communicate over the internet. They might need to add exceptions for the Dolphin application in their firewall settings.
