Anyone use Kaillera?

Post by linko9 »

I can't get this to work at all. I'm trying to play some Windjammers online (sweet game, don't know if I would actually have anyone to play with, but it's worth a try), and I'm totally lost. When I right click on any game and click "Kaillera NetPlay," a window pops up, and then the program crashes. My second problem is that when I start up any game with my EX-SE plugged in, I get an error message "DirectInput: Unable to set absolute mode for joystick 0." I've never had this problem in any other version of MAME. Anyone who how to operate this newfangled programulation?

It might be crashing because the server tracker is down. try to click "stop search" or something like that right after the window opens. Pretty stupid it can crash from that.

P2P kaillera is faster so it might be worth setting up if you want less input lag.

Get with the times. GGPO supports Windjammers, has better comp, and is much, much smoother.

Thanks for the tip, unfortunately GGPO doesn't work for me either. I get stuck at the login screen. It seems that lots of people have this problem, and there's no known solution. Maybe I'm destined to never play arcade games online :cry:
