Can anyone who has Tatsunoko Vs Capcom - Ultimate All-Stars still able to connect to the wifi servers to play online with Dolphin?

No, they were shut down long ago.

You can try Wiimmfi servers, but it got harder to use Dolphin with them...

You need to dump a NAND from your Wii and install it to Dolphin, patch the game (either with homebrew that does it automatically or by actually modifying the ISO) and try to connect to Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. (Note that you will encounter an error on your first login. You will need to wait 7 days before you're able to play. This is supposed to make people who cheat online's lives more harder.)

As mentioned above, getting on the Wiimmfi servers is a bit of a chore; you have to make your own backup file of TvC. Then that file has to be patched with Wiimm's iso tool. Once up and running, you have to wait the 7 day period to be activated. Then, if your copy of Dolphin runs lower than 60 fps, you will be permanently banned.

Fortunately President Magikarp has started a steam community for Dolphin users to connect directly:

30 members, 9 online right now, 4 in matches. Pretty good for a near dead game lol

Is disabling EFB access to CPU, ignore format changes, and EFB to texture really necessary to play online? I usually leave those off to have the most accuracy and compatibility.

No, I don't think so. (If you're using Dolphin's netplay, then all the settings should be synced with everyone else's to prevent desyncs) There's really no need to mess with the settings for compatibility right now since Dolphin will automatically apply the correct settings (if needed) to play the game.

Then do I really have to convert it to an ISO since dolphin reads wbfs files just fine and does the rom directory really matter?
