I'd fucking love it if they would.
Also the netplay guide is so out of date it still says dual core doesn't work in netplay.
Important note, I did mess up with my first tests of the latest build by forgetting to change extensions of other wiimotes to nunchuk. Why do you have to turn them on to do that now though... Previous issue about extensions is still the same though, which makes most games unplayable, I'm currently testing the desync issue.
Wiimote netplay has just been ignored forever. They had it working when developping it more than a year ago in unknown, very unstable conditions, recorded that NSMBW video, then implemented it, stuff happened, and now nobody can bother to actually look at it seriously. Can anyone even sincerely say they've played a wiimote-only game at any point, much less with the latest build? I've tried the conditions from my post above, by myself or with various combinations of (4) people, for close to 20 builds over all the range of builds since wiimote netplay was "implemented", and not once has it worked correctly. If someone was actually successful, I'd be very glad to see it, along with the build used and the detailed steps to proceed from downloading a fresh build archive, including the game played.
For reference and to check if something could be wrong in there, here's what my steps are, for latest build:
1. Download build 4.0-5809 x64
2. Extract to new folder
3. Create file portable.txt alongside executable
4. Launch executable
5. Set ISO path
6. Turn dualcore off, or leave on, I always do both tests, starting from scratch
7. Turn on Render to Main Window, because maximum ughering
8. Switch all 4 wiimotes to Emulated Wiimote
9. Go in each one's Config and switch extension to Nunchuk
10. Turn wiimote 2,3 and 4 back to None
11. Close Dolphin
12. Have someone else do the exact same steps up to now, or copy the dolphin folder locally, this will be player2
13. Host Mario Kart Wii PAL (RMCE01) as player1
14. Connect as player2
15. Assign Wiimote 0 to player1 and Wiimote 1 to player2 (I used to test with GC left on or off, but I've never seen it make a difference)
16. Start
Results: Should get past wiimote instruction page fine, game saves fine, both cursors are fine, but upon reaching character selection for a 2 player game, player2's input for nunchuk joystick up and down (keyboard w and s) both move the selection down. All inputs for player2's extension are messed up, although they do sync on both ends.
