      There's a virtual keyboard on my end when using Netplay, no physical keyboard needed.

      I guess first try updating to the latest Retropie version along with Retroarch as well.

      @mitu While speaking with NETPLAY, an instant text/voice messaging application for the community (Teamspeak / Mumble / or better: Discord) would be great to find mate to do netplay games. Like i posted into another thread : link text

      @iandaemon You're true, the forum cannot be replaced. This is the best information source.
      Discord Channel is more to speak with peaple, make friends, play together.

      Why the language is an issue? Most peaple speak English all over the world. (i'am French for exemple)

      ooskay

      Solved..
      I've updated the ownership of below folders and all files under it..
      sudo chown -R pi:pi /home/pi
      sudo chown -R pi:pi /opt/retropie/configs

      it fixed the issue, when IP or any change such as C or H , has been made on netplay setup . it wasn't update the "netplay_ip_address = " in retroarch.cfg accordingly.

      thank for helps.

      @UberLumby You can follow the instructions here.

      Thank you
      "Create a symbolic link to the RetroArch core you want to use for netplay in the directory where the core info file was stored, for example
      ln -s /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-fceumm/fceumm_libretro.so $HOME/.config/retroarch/cores"
      This confused me a bit but I think I understand this creates a link to the existing .So I was copying and pasting them into the retroarch cores folder last night lol ops...

      Check your port forwarding settings on your router. You maybe able to restrict the port forward to specific external IP address(es) or MAC address(es). If so you can whitelist your friends IP/Mac address.

      @Kaydron said in Issues with NetPlay: Client cannot connect when going through RetroPie:

      I found this post that has very similar symptoms https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/issues/3161.

      If you're encountering the same problem as the the one described in the issue, then there's no solutio yet, just the workaround posted in the same issue. The only method that seems to work is to directly connect by specifying the hostname.

      ElStego

      @BGallagherLA wondering if that is just an automatic thing with NetPlay and is just a computer player or something rather than someone actually joining? I just don't understand how someone can randomly join a game when you need the proper external IP to be able to access the game, and the exact same rom set, emulator and RetroPie version in order for it to work

      @strohseph

      I did the copy and paste from your entire list for the libretro cores.

      It's kind of making a confusing mess of all things.

      Is there a simple way to remove all of those symlinks?

      I can use either PuTTy or WinSCP.

      @Daistaar said in Netplay questions: Can two Pi's connect directly via LAN?:

      Would this allow, say full screen multi-player Mario Kart for each monitor? Would they still just see everything split?

      That would require heavy hacking on the game roms themselves, while RetroArch's Netplay just uses the unmodified roms and spans the players' monitor & controller cables through the network, figuratively speaking.

      @Efriim said in Error when starting netplay host:

      @saccublenda
      Perhaps there is the same setting somewhere within retroarch.

      Indeed there is. Under Settings -> User -> Username (it sets the "netplay_nickname" in
      retroarch.cfg). With this matching the hostname I can start the netplay host from retroarch menu.

      It is a peculiar thing, I remember it working without configuration, I had a hostname so I don't really understand it.

      Same here. I used to have a netplay nickname different from the hostname, and it didn't matter. Weird.
