Wi-Fi compatibility list for dolphin(Wii)

10-20-2013, 03:54 AM #1

I have a suggestion for you guys who are developing dolphin. in your site, just like you have a Game compatibility list for which game do/do not work, you should have a game compatiblity list for which game do/do not work with the Wii Wifi network?

Also is there a option to enable netplay/Onlineplay(though LAN/bluetooth/wi-fi) on dolphin for the GC?

After enabling NetPlay, you use it either for GC or Wii.
It depends from which console the game is.

And the devs and admins haven´t created that "list" because there are only 5 or 6 games working well (that includes MK-Wii and SSBM/SSBB).

Last thing: NetPlay ONLY uses LAN, a.f.a.i.k.

Uh... nothing about this post is right. There are three ways for online connectivity in Dolphin.

1. Wii Network - Only for wii games, connects Dolphin to Nintendo's WiFi Connection. Works most of the time, but some games do stupid things or have had their servers shut down. Compatibility is pretty good, for now.

2. Netplay - Dolphin's own built in online system. It mimics having a second player beside you, allowing way more options such as spectators, alternate player modes, and allowing any game to have online multiplayer. It's a little finicky and demanding, but it compatibility is sky high. Plus it is not reliant on servers or outside stuff so it will work forever.

3. BBA - Emulates the BroadBand/Modem Adapters, the GameCube's method for online gameplay. It doesn't work over the internet very well, but works very well over lan. There are only 7 games that take advantage of it however.

It's being discussed. But it's harder to implement than you might think though.
