Getting the proper tools



^^ download this first off. I don't care if you already have Nestopia and shit.. if you don't have this version it won't work properly the way we are using it.

Secondly download and install Hamachi

https://secure.logmein.com/US/products/hamachi2/download.aspx

download the unmanaged version.

Make sure you have the ROM ( .nes file ) that you are looking to play online with. Your opponents will also need to have all three of these things downloaded.


Once you have done both of these things. [i]Now it is time to learn how to play Nestopia 1.39 online using Hamachi.

Using Nestopia 1.39 with Hamachi

After extracting the nestopia files, proceed to installing Hamachi.

You will be prompted to create a user name ( This can be whatever you want, but preferably your name you use on the forum. )

If you would like to host, in hamachi click network > create a new network. Make your network name and create a password that you will be able to tell your opponent (example network: ZachW Password: tecmo)

Your opponent will go under network > join an existing network. They will then need to type in ZachW for the network and for the password tecmo.

You will notice they have connected to you you will see their user name under your network you created.

You can right click on their name and select chat if you wish to talk using this program.

Anyways, on the Hamachi application above your user name you will see an ip address. This is the IP you will be using to host.

With hamachi still open.. Fire up Nestopia 1.39 under the menu Netplay select Connect.

You will have a blank gamelist on the right hand side click the button add. Locate your NES rom (example TecmoSuperBowl.nes) proceed to add that.

With that game highlighted hit the launch button.


HOSTING

MAKE SURE YOU GO INTO YOUR NESTOPIA FOLDER >> STATES AND DELETE ANY SAVED GAMES THAT APPEAR HERE OR ELSE YOU MAY DESYNC.

Fill in your Nick (Nickname) If you don't they will call you APE.

Under Port put in 27888 (I am pretty sure this works for everyone, someone correct me if I am wrong on this.)

Under IP/SID since you are the host you will input the IP address that shows up in the top of your Hamachi application. This is all you will input. DO NOT PUT THE PORT NUMBER AFTER THE IP WHEN HOSTINGEXAMPLE 132.12.1.232 Click new game. (A common glitch I have noticed is that Nestopia will not let you connect or make a New Game). The solution to this is simply closing completely out of Nestopia and reopening it.

JOINING

Fill in your Nick (Nickname) If you don't they will call you APE.

Under Port put in 27888 (I am pretty sure this works for everyone, someone correct me if I am wrong on this.)

Under IP/SID since you are joining the game you will input the IP address AND the port. EXAMPLE [b]132.12.1.232:27888 in that format. The first part is the ip address of your opponent (which he will supply to you) and the second part is the port.

It must be written in this fashion. Do not forget the colon :

Click connect.

Once both players are in the game the host will press change game. He will select the correct rom. Both players hit ready, and the games begin.

Any further questions.. ask away and I will answer to the best of my ability.

This should help pretty much help everyone out.







DO NOT READ THIS UNLESS YOU CAN'T GET IT TO WORK THE WAY I DESCRIBED

(If this stuff isn't working close out nestopia and reopen it. Network > Connect > Launch.

Once here make sure that it says n02.p2p.v0r8 at the top of the window in the gray part. If for some reason it doesn't click the switch button near the top right of that screen and select n02.p2p.

If it is already selected it will simply just close out your window. )

Don't let this shit confuse you.. you shouldn't need to use it. My explanation may seem a bit confusing. This is the part where you can send me a personal message, or suggest a better way to explain it.
