QuotewhodaresAs for copying the channel once installed. I can copy it off my Wii for you to try and install. It will depend on what versions of IOS and the System Menu you have installed whether you are allowed to copy it back to the Wii. We are talking about using the system menu to copy the channel to sd card, right? Wouldn't the channel be signed and/or encrypted witch keys only foundby daniel_c_w - The Junkyard

Quoteekeekethey does not "overlap", maybe I was not very clear: it's just that, a NTSC video signal has approx. 480 visible lines, that you could decomposed in odd and even lines in interlaced video (480i), odd and even lines are displayed alternatively : ...snip... in non-interlaced video (240p), there is no odd/even field distinction and only odd (or even) lines are displayed , ..by daniel_c_w - Homebrew Applications

QuoteDrLuckyalso, wouldn't some sort of server need to be set up in order for the emulators to be able to connect to each other? ...snip... The last issue would be game "compatability" both users would have to use the EXACT SAME rom in order for it to work. ...snip....

QuotestrongfanThis is evident in Brawl's online play. I did not really analyze Brawl's network behavior, but my from a few sessions I came to the following guess. The game uses a client/server model. The best internet connection becomes the server (so far so good Nintendo :D) For the player on the server-Wii the game is Lag-free! For everyone else the game is as laggy as his connectby daniel_c_w - Homebrew Applications
Re: Online playing on homebrew emulators? - 16 years ago
QuoteTheManuelWell, it's worth to ask ourselves how PC games or even Wii games do it nowadays to see it that approach can be used. Not really, because that games are tailored for online play, as opposed to SNES games, which are tailored for local play. The network data, are generated by the games, not by their environments (emulators). In general every genre has it's own approach.by daniel_c_w - Homebrew Applications
Re: Online playing on homebrew emulators? - 16 years ago
Quoteekeekeif you didn't get any new messages, i think it's better to just keep input state in old state rather than pausing emulation and losing some frames exactly. The pause is only needed the resinc both emulators. When the sync is lost you have no other choice. In a lan environment that is no problem, because the lantency and ping is good enough to execute any remote input on eiby daniel_c_w - Homebrew Applications

Quoteekeekeit's not important but lines are always displayed at the exact same location on odd/even fields Do you mean that the scanlines of both fields are congruent (overlap each other)? That's definitely not the case.by daniel_c_w - Homebrew Applications
Re: Online playing on homebrew emulators? - 16 years ago
Quoteekeeke I don't think it's a good idea to pause emulation when a input signal takes too much time to arrive The pause is needed, because otherwise both emus will loose sync.

Re: Online playing on homebrew emulators? - 16 years ago
Quotewhodares2. Emulators know when the console's "memory" is altered, it could send all alterations across the network (Address|Length|Data...) In theory, sending the input data is enough, right? Every alteration of memory is a definite result of user input. And sending every Memory alteration would use to much bandwidth. I am more concerned about latency.

Re: Dear Nintendo, - 16 years ago
QuotewhodaresWhen they use unplayable, it might be a simple case like the update partition on discs "requiring" you to update your system before you can play the game and they assume you won't be able to get the game running. That's a good speculation. It is not a far fetched as Nintendo may brick Wiis on purpose.by daniel_c_w - Homebrew General
