Feature request for Netplay+BBA?

[zrosch@yahoo.com]

Hello.

The Broadband adapter is not supported with netplay. Could this be added by chance?

As anyone that has tried Mario Kart Double Dash over Xlink knows the game runs really bad because it was made with a true lan in mind. I had the idea though that a user could say run two dolphins on their pc, bridge the two with a tap adapter, start lan, and have a second player join the second session.

you could take this to the limit by having 8 dolphins connected in a bridged network of tap adapters and 8 sessions of dolphin netplay.

also if you might be wondering you can have multiple instances of netplay running at the same time provided you use different ports.

If you wanted to netplay using two Dolphin instances that are connected through BBA, then all players would need to run both instances on their own computers... And I guess BBA isn't made for determinism, so that would have to be fixed somehow, which (without actually having looked into the code much) sounds far from easy.
