Is there a way to play netplay using multiple controllers?

[HenrikoMagnifico]

I couldn't fit all of my question in the title.

My question is if me and a friend could play the same game over netplay and be both be controlling the same controller port in a single player game. I would like to play Zelda Twilight Princess with my pal but I can only watch while he plays over netplay since it doesn't allow me to control even though we both have keys mapped to controller port 1.

Theoretically we both should be able to control Link, but only one person can (since Dolphin only accepts one input source?). It would also be fine if one could only control the buttons and the other one runs around etc, but currently we haven't managed to do anything at all.

Is there a special build of Dolphin that supports this? Is it even possible? If not, will it ever be possible? Thanks in advance.

Netplay doesn't really use you client dolphin mappings. When you host a netplay session on the bottom right should be a button that says "Assign Controller Ports" That is how you assign who will be plugged into which port. However there is no option to have two people on the same port, nor have I heard of or seen a build that supports this (But it is possible that it exists) Might I ask what you are trying to do?

Ah, well I'm trying to set it up so that my friend (who has never played the game before) can play it alongside me. It'll get boring if I could only watch, so a way for us to play together (by switching player or having us map ourselves to certain buttons) would make it a lot more fun. He wants my guidance since he doesn't have the time or patience to google things if he gets stuck (only a theory of mine, though).

If anything is found please hit me up!
