XBOX emulators online .. this is not through kai ..

this guide was made from searching the internet and trial and error .. thanx to infidelity for his guide which is buried deep in a thread and thanks to XPort for the emus :]

you need 2 people, one gets setup as the client and one as the host .. read both sections carefully, they are different ..

the ROM files must be EXACTLY THE SAME..

-----CLIENT SETUP------

-. Download this http://www.analogx.com/CONTENTS/download/network/pmapper.htm
install it .. load it ..

-. Right click on the portmapper box in the bottom corner , hit Configure ..

click on Configure IP - add your XBOX's IP and pick allow , hit done ..

click on Configure Mapping - map port 8989 to the IP address of the
persons computer you are trying to connect to.. Internet IP .. http://whatismyip.com/
just change those 2 boxs ..

log into your router .. you can use DMZ or forward a port.. www.portforward.com ...
port 8989 to the ip of your computer .. or DMZ to the ip of your computer ..
if you have a software firewall or some other crazy internet setup figure it out ..

load emulator on XBOX .. most are XPort emulators so they look the same ..
go to configuration , netplay .. turn netplay on .. if your emulator has the options
for an ip, netmask and gateway you need to fill them out .. set ip to the same ip
your XBOX uses when in your dashboard (and u allowed up a few steps) ..
netmask and gateway match your network ..

once thats done hit add netplay server , put in the ip of your PC .. local ip ..

client done

------SERVER SETUP------

-. Download this http://www.analogx.com/CONTENTS/download/network/pmapper.htm
install it .. load it ..

-. Right click on the portmapper box in the bottom corner , hit Configure ..

click on Configure IP - add your XBOX's IP and pick allow , hit done ..

click on Configure Mapping - map port 8989 to the IP address of your XBOX

log into your router .. you can use DMZ or forward a port..
port 8989 to the ip of your computer .. or DMZ to the ip of your computer ..
if you have a software firewall or some other crazy internet setup figure it out ..

load emulator on XBOX .. most are XPort emulators so they look the same ..
go to configuration , netplay .. turn netplay on .. if your emulator has the options
for an ip, netmask and gateway you need to fill them out .. set ip to the same ip
your XBOX uses when in your dashboard .. netmask and gateway match your network ..

server setup done ..

now pick a game .. server side picks server and sets a skip value ..
(the higher the number the smoother the gameplay but less responsive controls) .. client picks THE EXACT SAME GAME , than picks Client, pick server , should be the ip of your computer , and play!

enjoy ..

few notes .. NeoGenesis works but for some reason it seems to get a little messed up sometimes and needs to be restarted , sometimes the games won't let you host them ..

its not frozen , if your exiting a game and it looks like its frozen and the music is looping, its not frozen , takes a few seconds ..

only tried NES with FCEUltra and Genesis with NeoGenesis .. Atari we quickly tried and it didn't work but it must be a setting ..

doesn't matter what versions of the emulators you both have .. or doesn't seem to in our case ..

what other emus have netplay ?

can we make this work with kai so we don't need portmapper ? .. we tried but no dice ..

This is some important info to be added and a way to deal with lag. The higher the skip value the less lag experienced.

- Netplay option to allow for smoother netplay : netplay skip.
When server starts netplay, you can select a netplay skip value.
This number specifies how often it should skip checking for network data.
The higher the number, the less often it checks for network data, but the
result will be a less responsive controller.

how do i log into my router?

By entering the gateway (routers IP) in the url bar of your webbrowser. To get your Gateway IP start run.exe and enter ipconfig /all and look for "Standard Gateway". An example how you would enter the Gateway in the webbrowser would be http://192.168.1.1
Visit www.portforward.com and look for your router for more info and help.
