A list of servers will appear, just highlight one to see what game and core they are using and click them to join. If you are hosting you do not need to have a playlist with crc values but the client must have it.Ĩ: To join a host all you need to do is open Retroarch and then navigate across the menu to the WiFi looking icon and refresh. Generating a playlist with the playlist tool linked above wil generate a playlist but the roms will not have a "crc" which is required in the playlist to join games. You should only generate a playlist using the Retroarch Scan Directory tool. This is something I read on the Retroarch Discord channel to fix this problem and I cannot confirm this works or doesn't because I have not had this problem myself. If you have troubles scanning using the "Scan Directory" tool download either the FBA or Mame core even if you do not use those cores. Nestopia may work with some setting tweaks on the previously linked page but I have yet to test it but in the testing I have done I can connect to a host briefly and then get disconnected.ĥ: If you get a message saying "Incompatible Content" it means your roms do not match the hosts.Ħ: To connect to a host you will need to scan your roms into Retroarch using the "Scan Directory" tool, Retroarch uses the info from the rom to compare it before attempting to connect.ħ: Some people have had issues using the "Scan Directory" tool to generate a playlist, you can get around this by using a playlist generator tool such as this one. The latest Mame core does not work, I have asked Radius on the Retroarch Discord channel and he told me it doesnt. If you need to know more about this look up guides based on your routers make and model, they all differ slightly.Ĥ: Not all cores work or work well, refer to this page for now for what does and does not work and settings So far the best cores that I have tested and used is GenesisGX, Snes9x, Fceumm and FBA. Generally speaking mist people are going to be using the "No-Intro" rom sets for consoles, arcade games are going to be a bit more tricky with this in terms of every one having the same sets and there is no easy way around this at this point in time.ģ: If you plan on hosting you will need to set up a "port forwarding" rule in your router, port 55435 is the default port that Retroarch uses. This is done in the Users section of the "cogwheel" section of the Retroarch menu.Ģ: You will need to have roms with the same CRC as the host. I have thought about making a guide for netplay but since it is still in its early days things could change drastically so I will just throw together this quick and dirty guide here.ġ: To host or connect to another player you will need to set a username in Retroarch.
