<h2>Netplay Support</h2>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
Netplay support allows up to five players to sit in front of different computers and simultaneously play the same game, or just watch someone else play a game. All the computers have to be connected to a network that allows TCP/IP traffic to flow between them; this includes a local Ethernet-style network, a direct-cable connection, or, if you're lucky and have short ping times, the Internet.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
Snes9x netplay inevitably synchronizes all the computers at the sacrifice of the speed of input response. Note that netplay is not compatible between platforms - You can't play via network with Windows users.

<h3>How to Netplay</h3>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
The player with the fastest Mac should act as the server. The others are clients. Server should open the port 6096/TCP.<br>
|
||
|
|
Here is the workflow to netplay with up to five players.
