"Net play"

[7SEALS]

Does net play mean you can play games over the internet with friends? Or is this something else? I don't want to get all of these multiplayer games, and find out Net Play doesnt mean play over the internet.

Yes, it means just that.

Netplay is already here, but you have to use Project64K. People are just waiting for netplay to be supported "officially".

Whenever I try to make a game on PJ64K it goes wacky, and I can't pick a rom from a list or anything. Anyone know what to do?

 

[nevinsb]

That's because PJ64k is based on an old version of PJ64.

 

[7SEALS]

Is there any way to get net play working on the newest verison of PJ64?? I want to get all the good games going, but only a couple work for me and my friend.

 

[axcc123]

nope

 

[7SEALS]

darn... I don't like only playing a few games.

EDIT: This net play sucks on PJ64K. It doenst show us the samethings on both screens. Me and my friend were on the phone, everyone had different amounts of coins on Mario Party. We were seeing different things on EVERY game we played. It was really weird.

 

[Agozer]

Well, I didn't say netplay was good in PJ64K, it's just the only way to netplay as of now.

Hopefully v1.7 will make the netplay freaks a lot happier.

 

[7SEALS]

Yea. I would actually like to play against my friends. Every game we play is messed up on net play. We see different things everytime.
