My name is VampX and i endorse this tutorial!

This tutorial should get pinned. it is very helpful and most if not all of the rest of the community was kinda confused about this whole netplay subject.

very good work on the tutorial.

Thanks man good tut

Holy fuck, I didn't even know you could do this with a modded XBox (I'm on the slow side.)

Thanks man.

...should also reiterate that the ROM being used must be EXACTLY the same on both machines.

edit: whoops forgot to say great tutorial!!!

I can play NES online? holy crap!

great tutorial!!


is this the same procedure for net play on vbax ?

or do you have any tutorial for that emu?


thanks




later

Ill pin it for a limited time awesome tut.

Great Tutorial i didnt know you could do this either

Is there any chance of never having to search for an opponent? Perhaps intergrating the Netplay on lantus' emu's with Xlink Kai?

So, when we getting netplay in xSNES9x and FBA-XXX (the emulators that matter)?

as soon as you program it in ( come on people dont be A** holes)

HA HA I cant belive poeple didnt know this. I Fugured this out on NeoGenesis.
It worked too I fergot who I was doing this with. But yeah, it is easy.
I learnd from snesx9 on pc how to set it up. Its pretty much the same.

Nice tutorial, but the hard part is going to be finding opponents. Also, I'm curious as to how framerate issues affect the gameplay (in the case of PCSXbox). I'm guessing a perfect match between bios, configuration and rom version are required for a playable experience?

awesome tutorial! Another one of those "Why didnt I think of doing that" threads!

Has anyone figured out online play? With KAI set up or something, would it be possible to find other NES players? hmmmm

I'll be up for a couple of games later on tonight - Contra on the NES anyone? Join the Xlink kai channel on IRC - #xlink on EFNet!

By EXACTLY, do you mean the actuall game? do you mean the game on both xbox's must be NAMED EXACTLY THE SAME?? also, by EXACTLY, do you mean, both need to be either .zip or .nes?

Also, can this online playing work for every 2 player nintendo game?

Thank You! :-)

CandieCorpse you are a life saver. Ever since I first tried xports emulators i've always wanted to try netplay, i've tried multiple times to get it to work, and i've asked other people about it countless times, including posting once here on this forum about it...

Finally someone clears it up with screenshots too! I really appreciate it, this is going to make it all the more worthwhile to have a modded xbox.

Thanks again for the great tutorial

By exactly, I mean the same ROM should be used on both machines. Same version, same region, same video format (PAL/NTSC). Just check MD5 or CRCs on the rom itself and make sure they match and you should be good to go, or use only a goodtools named set, then you know you'll be sharing the same stuff on both.

I'm having difficulty connecting to my friends xbox. Could someone please help me? Here's what I've done with no luck.

I'm connected to a wireless router, my friend is connected to a regular router.

I'm the Server.

I enter my Default Gateway IP Address - 192.168.#.#
I enter my Subnet Mask Gateway Address - 255.255.255.0
I enter my XBOX IP Address - 192.168.#.###
I set NetPlay to On

I had my friend do the following

He entered his Default Gateway IP Address - 192.168.#.#
He entered his Subnet Mask Gateway IP Address - 255.255.255.0
He entered his XBOX IP Address - 192.168.#.###
He went into Add Netplay Server, and entered my XBOX IP Address - 192.168.#.###
He set NetPlay to On

Then, I picked TMNT 2, I went to Server, I choose 0, and then it says it's listining for incoming connections.

My friend picks the exact same game, he chooses Client, he selects my XBOX's IP address, and after 10 seconds, it says it could not connect.

What is wrong? I followed everything to the T in this turotrial here. Please help!

alright guys, lets cut to the chase.

Is this LAN only?

No one's said a thing about this, and yet the guide clearly looks like the server is on the same lan as the client. Just set me straight here, can i play this with people outside my connection? I got an idiot in Cali I wanna challenge.

this was originaly built and tested on lan yes , but me and my friend succsessfully played acrossed xbconnect but seems to fail with kia i have no idea why , im writing another tut on how to use this with xbconnect expect it with a day or so maybe tonight if i have the time.

Can you shed some light on how to do this over xbconnect? My friend and I want to play online, and can't figure out which setting[s] to change to make it work.

Thanks.

EDIT - Do you need xbconnect in order for this to work? Cause my friend lives in another town. I need to know if I'm going in the right direction, because my friend and I cannot connect to eachoter, and if xbconnect is needed, please tell us how, and what to do. Please.

Ok,OK, Ok,,Ummm So could this really mean that my GBA emu on xbox will finally be able to play ZELDA FOUR SWORDS with a other players online ..OMG please comfirm this????????????????

.

Nice discovery, but if it only works with the NES emulator, why isn't the thread called "Netplay With NES Heres How" or something. It isn't apparent it only applies to NES until reading some way into the thread. Good work though

i'll assume that i'd need to open a port on my router if i wanted to do this over the internet?

ONLINE PLAY CAN BE DONE!!!! All credit for this work goes to "quall" Thank You quall for all your time and effort into helping us figure this out. Contra was a blast. Once again, quall, from me, and everybody here at xbox-scene, Thank You!! Here it is, how to play online with Xports emulators. This was done with using the latest version of FCEUltra 16. We also used the EXACT ROM, by that I mean, type and name, for example. "contra.nes" That's how we played, we had that setup on both xbox's. Well, enjoy, Thanks quall!!!!



Portmapper: http://www.analogx.com/contents/download/network/pmapper.htm

PC SETUP FOR THE HOST:
1. Dial into your router (??? http:\\192.168.0.1)
2. enter your user and password
3. Look for a tab called "DMZ
4. click the enable button, and type in your xbox's ip address (192.168.0.### or whatever it is)
5. I suggest following the client pc setup as well, so either can host.

PC SETUP FOR THE Client:
1. Open Portmapper.
2. Click the "Configure IP" button
3. Click "add"
4. Enter your xbox's IP (192.168.0.###) address and select "allow" in the drop down. Click "OK", the "Done"
5. Click the "Configure Mapping" button
6. Click "add"
7. Enter "8989" for the port.
8. Enter the internet IP of the person that will be hosting. Click ok, then done, and done again.
9. Get your PC IP for later (open command prompt and type "ipconfig". It will print it amongst other things).

XBOX SETUP FOR HOST:
1. Start the emulator and go to network settings.
2. Enter the following:
-SUBNET MASK: 255.255.255.0
-DEFAULT GATEWAY: 192.168.0.1
-DNS (if opted): 0.0.0.0
-XBOX IP ADDRESS: 192.168.0.### (or whatever it is)

XBOX SETUP CLIENT:
1. Start the emulator and go to network settings.
2. Enter the following:
-SUBNET MASK: 255.255.255.0
-DEFAULT GATEWAY: 192.168.0.1
-DNS (if opted): 0.0.0.0
-XBOX IP ADDRESS: 192.168.0.### (or whatever it is)
3. Then for the server you will connect to, enter your PC's IP that you wrote down earlier (not your internet IP!!).

Hiya guys, nice tut you got here. Only thing I dont get is this PC SETUP FOR THE HOST:
1. Dial into your router (??? http:\\192.168.0.1)
2. enter your user and password
3. Look for a tab called "DMZ
4. click the enable button, and type in your xbox's ip address (192.168.0.### or whatever it is)
5. I suggest following the client pc setup as well, so either can host.

How is this done?
I got everything else sorted just this bit.
Is it true enabling DMZ completely exposes your pc to the internet without a firewall?

Any help appreciated.

well, first get into your router which is usually your network address 192.168.0.1 (use internet explorer). It will ask for a username and pass, you either put those in or they were preset in the manual.

Look for a DMZ menu, every router is different so it can be in another tab, sub setting, etc... Mine was in another tab. Then there should be a LAN address text box. Some routers only have the last 3 digits enabled. Well, put in your xbox IP there and click the "enable" button.

This would be a security issue, if your PC's IP was set up for the DMZ. What it does, is instead of the router blocking every unknown connection, it sends it to that IP address.

However, your xbox is pretty limited. Nobody is going to "leet haxor" into your xbox, so no damage will be done. Just make sure it is something high and static, like 192.168.0.159. That way, your PC's will never get assigned that address to be vulnerable, and your xbox will always get the incoming connection (which includes the incoming emulator connection).

This is an easy way that is pretty secure. You could connect into your router and send a specific ip to your xbox, but that would mean that the person you connect to would have to have a static IP, or you would be changing it all the time. The DMX eliminates user erros lol.

can you play 4 players with netplay? like with bomberman...

wow i get back from vacation and some one beat me to it! sorry i didnt even post i was on vacation!! but yes quall's tut is how and does work! thanks man! this was almost axactly what i was gunna post , well cya!

Didn't you say you used XBconnect and that worked as well?

This doesn't work directly? Anyone want to AIM me later and try to play some Dr. Mario?

How do you do this without a router? My PC uses 2 ethernet cards, one connected to the internet, the other to the xbox through a crossover cable.

Somebody needs to make an xbconnect style program for these emulators.

It should work for any of the xport emulators as they all have the same netplay capabilities I do believe.

Also I was wondering if it'd be possible to do this and include a pc in the "party" with a pc emulator(i.e. vba and vbax)

thanks for the info everyone

"BUMP"


"How do you do this without a router? My PC uses 2 ethernet cards, one connected to the internet, the other to the xbox through a crossover cable."



I would like to know the same.

I was wondering if i can play between the XBox and my PC?

If it's possible..... how?

Here's the thing: I wanted to play pokemon against my nephew, or trading pokemon with him, and since the XBOY Advance don't support dual GBA rom playing in the XB, and it's possible to play via LAN...

So, anyone can help me?

Please, do it nor for me but for my 6-year-old-nephew's-sake!

Hi, this is something I am also interested in. As almost all emulators on the Xbox are ports of open source emulators from the PC, are they still compatible in netplay? So when I use NeoGenesis or MednafenX-NES, could I netplay with people who use Gens or Mednafen on the PC?

Hi

Sorry to bump and old thread but im following the guide and i must be stupid or something , i cant change the IP on add server so its like the pic



i want to have an IP like the above so : 192.168.1.***

but all i can get is 000.000.000.000 i cant remove the 2 zeros in the 3rd row ?

Please help

youd make it 192.168.001.*** and it'll work either way.

ahh ok thanks , ill try it out
