I was helped by this message, so many thanks to skid:
The solution consists in setting a different BBA_MAC for each Dolphin instance. If you don't do that, the MAC address will be the same by default, and it will freeze when virtual gamecubes find one another. This solution relies on the command line parameter "/U" to set a different configuration for each Dolphin instance.
To sum up:
1) Install Dolphin
2) Open a command line prompt (cmd), go in the dolphin folder, and start dolphin twice, each time with a different /U. This will create two configurations folders.
Example:
Code:cd C:\Program Files\Dolphin
Dolphin.exe /U c:\dolphin-conf1
Dolphin.exe /U c:\dolphin-conf2
3) In each dolphin prepare your ISO folder and enable BBA in the Gamecube tab ("SP1" parameter). Then close both Dolphin instances.
3) In each configuration folder, open Config\Dolphin.ini, look for the line "BBA_MAC" (line 191 in my case), and set a unique 12 digits number.
Example:
in c:\dolphin-conf1\Config\Dolphin.ini -> BBA_MAC = 000000000001
in c:\dolphin-conf2\Config\Dolphin.ini -> BBA_MAC = 000000000002
4) Download OpenVPN and install it : ( http://swupdate.openvpn.org/community/re...x86_64.exe ) . This will create a first TAP adapter for one Dolphin instance to use.
5) Download TAP windows from the same website and install it ( http://swupdate.openvpn.org/community/re....9.2_3.exe ). Then run the file "c:\Program Files\TAP-Windows\bin\addtap.bat". This will create a second TAP adapter, for a second Dolphin.
6) In Windows Network Connections window ( http://downloadsquad.switched.com/2011/0...s-7-vista/ ), select both TAP connections, right click, and create a bridge.
7) Start both Dolphins as done in 2, and start your game in each one of them (e.g. Mario Kart). LAN mode should work properly, and you have 8 players mario kart on a single computer .
I get an error "the specified file "/u" does not exist every time i try to create the config fileĀ Dolphin.exe /U c:\dolphin-conf2. Please advise. Thanks

Hi sorry to bother everyone, but has their been any progress on the command prompt?
Ive have a VPN service working, bridged and ready to go. But for the life of my cant format the commands to properly generate the config files to have two seperate instances working at the same time. Each time I attempt the command (Desktop\Dolphin\Dolphin.exe /u C:\Users\Me\Desktop\Dolphin\dolphin-conf1) it just says "the specified file "/u" does not exist". Please send help! 02-24-2023, 06:46 PM
Windows-style arguments don't work anymore. You'll have to replace /u with -u.

I tried following the tutorial from Zerwan with the changes suggested by JosJuice, however I get stick after step 7, they can't find each other. I believe it is because on of the sessions arent prorperly binding to a tap adapter. Screenshot for reference. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/9.../image.png
Also, I don't even get the option for Lan Mode when trying to emulate it through netplay. |
