Mario Kart 64 Netplay guide

[Roph]

Yes.

1) Download Project64k and extract it somewhere. Where you extract it, make a folder for roms.

2) Download USA version of Mario Kart 64 and extract it, putting the .n64 file into the rom folder you just made

3) Start project64k via Project64k.exe (With the K, NOT WITH project64.exe)

4) Go through all the settings etc. First, go on file -> choose rom directory, and set your rom folder. Now mario kart should be picked up and listed in the main window. Then go to options and configure graphics, input to set your keys/pad etc.

5) Choose file -> start netplay... and it will start to list servers. Let it finish, or at least wait until you find a server with under 60ms ping. Also, choose a username and type it into the username box.

6) Find a server that seems good (probably best to look for the lowest ping, and one that is empty for convenience. Use RMRK's IRC channel to share which server to connect to etc. Join the server of choise with the button. Now you're at the server's chat / lobby thing.

7) Either wait for somebody to start a game, or use the create new game button to select a game of yours and start it. It's self explanatory.

8) Have fun playing! The order that players join/start determines which player they are, i.e. the 3rd player to join would be emulated as the guy with his controller plugged into port 3 on the N64.

I wonder if I'm the only person who already knew this?
This also works with Super Smash bros 1, or Goldeneye

No, you're not the only person who knew how to play N64 games online in Project64k.

I always wanted to play SSB64 online, but I could never get a controller hooked up.

EDIT: Both links broken, lol

Both worked for me ?_?

[Kokowam]

Oh, now it works, lol.

Btw, for all those with Vista/Windows 7, this will crash unless you use: http://www.4shared.com/file/H4eHdWR8/PJ64k_VE.html

[cozziekuns]

Actually, you just had to replace Jabo's DirectX 38 .dll, but whatever works.

We could also play SFIII together with this: http://www.kaillera.com/download.php

I wanted to play this game with my friend. Long story short we were getting mad as when one's controller worked the other person didn't (example: Player 2 can play while player 1 can't and vice versa). I think it's something to do with the controlls, however I can't seem to find the problem ;( Can anyone help me to get this working?

[Dwarra?]

This topic is over 2 years old, mate. No reason to post here.

[Holkeye]

And Mario Kart 64 is like 15 years old.

[Irock]

I would have guessed 48 years old.

[Konradix]

It may be milion years old but that doesn't change a fact that I asked a question for a reason...

[Holkeye]

Except you didn't ask a question.

[Konradix]

Done. Is that enough to get an answer? -.-

[Dwarra?]

Just google it. If you can't figure it out on your own, none of us are going to be able to hold your hand through it.
