Heard of the news that Dolphin 4.0 supports multiplayer.

If me and someone plays a game that requires save states like Donkey Kong, are we able to save our progress and continue next time? How does this work?

Save states won't work. You need to save using the normal in game methods, and restart from there next time.

What Donkey Kong game do you mean?

How do I do this using normal in game methods? Do I have to send the save file to my friend as well?

Donkey Kong Country Returns.

Erm, DKCR doesn't have online multiplayer. 4.0 only allows you to connect to official nintendo servers to play games that normally support it online.

However, as 4.0-26, you can use netplay to play with someone else who also uses dolphin over the internet. There's a netplay guide here but it hasn't been updated for wiimote support.

I think he means can save states be transferable from system to system. If that is the case, I dont know about save states but game save info should be. Always best to stay on the same version.

Thank you Rachael for that explanation. Much appreciated.

So Rachael, let me get this straight and just to confirm what you're saying....,

in SVN 4.0-26 and beyond, two Dolphin users can now use netplay in *ANY* Nintendo Wii game that supports two or more controllers(ie any typical fighting game or even DKCR)?

Now, this is different from the [color=#ff6600]*OTHER*[/color] newly touted "online" feature in Dolphin 4.0, which is "true" online and supports official online Wii games that connect to server, etc.

Is this correct?

Yes, that's correct. It will indeed work with any game that has local multiplayer, but i can't guarantee some won't be a terrible experience.
