Is there a way to play co-op Netplay? - HenrikoMagnifico - 12-13-2016

The title is a bit misleading, what I mean to ask is exactly:

Is there a way for me and a friend (or multiple) to play a single player game together via Netplay? With this, I mean that we all control a single controller port - so that one player per say, can control the sword of Link and one can control the running?

This is a feature that would make Dolphin Emulator so much more fun for me and my friends, since we are all into single player games but can't play them together if we're not at each others house or something.

Thanks in advance, ~Henriko

I like your idea and has an intresting concept.

However it could be a bit complicated as one might not cooperate and some of the most basic controls are taken away

Well, with this feature I'm mostly thinking about a scenario where two friends are playing together and speaking over Discord or Skype, and that they are willing to play together to progress.

True but netplay also has its own chat as well

Yeah, it's a feature that doesn't has to be sacrificed. People can play with randoms if they want to as well Smile

A way you can netplay although sounds a bit boring is to download teamviewer so that you can both control the keyboard from different laptops, all you gotta do is share the controls with your friends and it might work. although if done through teamviewer there might be a bit of lag on the other person side.

hmh... sounds interesting. There should be another way though. I'm looking into this!
