Dolphin Netplay, only host can move - StanEXE - 06-13-2019
Me and a few friends recently tried to play Mario Party 9 (WII) together using netplay, but only I, the host, am able to move and select a character. I assigned all the controllers but it just doesn't seem to work. How do I make it do everyone can move?

Unlike with GameCube, each player needs to configure the Emulated Wii Remote of their particular controller.
So if you give a player "Wii Remote 2" it actually uses Wii Remote 2's controls on their computer. This is due to some issues with Dolphin's infrastructure that makes stuff like netplay difficult.

Yeah sorry, i looked at the code for that trying to figure out how to do it properly, but i'm not skilled enough for this.
One idea to make the issue smaller:
Dynamically disable the configuration of the controllers on netplay, that are not controlled by your computer. This way people would see the issue when trying to fix it.

That worked! Thank you!
