Shmups Netplay - Raiden Fighters series & VP1 now playable!

[TodayIsForgotten]

It depends entirely on the emulator and netcode you're using.

To an extent. The connection and distance is the single most important factor. If it were entirely netcode no one would care if someone dropped into a CS server with 300 ping while everyone else has 20ms.

In any case. I'm interested to see how well the servers run. So I am now on there as my handle here.

After a major update, Seibu SPI games like Raiden Fighters and Viper Phase 1 are now finally playable in MAMEHub! Furthermore, MAMEHub is getting very close to running CAVE PGM games in co-op at full speed for all users. That means online multiplayer for Ketsui, Espgaluda, and Dodonpachi Dai-Ou-Jou, less than a year since they've been emulated in MAME!

You will have to reinstall to update from version 0.5 to 0.6.

Bigging up new version ofMAMEHub right now!
Just played through Viper Phase 1 with MathU on a different continent and a ping of 244 and it was almost perfect
Get on it folks!

Ok, I think it's time to coordinate something later on then!

Read about mamehub on this forum, great stuff, always wanted to try 2p Dodonpachi play.
Except... My ISP blocks ALL PORTS (which causes forever lowid in eMule, and seeding problems in Bittorent) thus preventing me from using mamehub at all.
I'm in france and my ISP is Alice/Tiscali (which was bought recently by Free). But I read people had the same problems with Free aswell so whatever... :s

(And to people thinking I'm a noob who doesn't know how to open ports I respond that even in DMZ mode I get the same results )

While you won't be able to host, changes have been made (or should be soon) that should allow you to join sumone else's hosted game.
