After both players are in the room, they will need to check the box labeled “click here when ready”. To get another player join, simply give them your IP address and have them follow the instructions below. If a windows firewall message appears, just click “Unblock”.Ī “Connection Window” should appear. Choose the game you want to host, then click Host at the bottom (See reference below). Having different amounts of coins in or trying to insert a coin will desync the game, so it’s best to just put it on freeplay.Īt the Net Play window, make sure the “Mode” on the right side is set to P2P. One thing I’ve found out is that it’s a very good idea to put the game on freeplay and have the same nvram files if possible. The following steps will get you started with playing online, whether its P2P or via a server. Then, go to File -> Run Naomi and choose Marvel vs. 1, 2, and 3 are LP, FP, and A1, respectively, while 4, 5, and 6 are LK, FK, and A2, respectively.Īfter setting up your buttons, click OK, then OK again to go back to the main Demul screen. Lucky for us, MvC2 just went right down the list of buttons in a really simple order. Choose “Joy 1” under JAMMA and click each button to set it to a key or your arcade stick. Since we’re dealing with arcade games, you’re going to want to set up the JAMMA controls. Now that we’re done setting up the game itself, let’s move on to setting up Net Play and your controller.įirst, go to Config -> NetPlay and you should see this screen:Ĭheck the box next to “Enable NetPlay”, then click OK. If you would like to, you can go ahead and re-zip/rar/whatever the mvc2 folder, or you can just leave it how it is. The nvram for the game will also be placed into the appropriate folder at this time. Then, unzip my pack into your demul folder, overwriting both mpr-23083.ic31 and mpr-23084.ic32. zip or some other compressed format? If so, unzip it.
You really need to pay attention to this next part so that you don’t overwrite the files you need.īefore doing anything with my pack, first check your mvc2 file. What I do know is that I have a nifty little pack you can download that does NOT CONTAIN THE ROM FOR MVC2, only the files you need for it, including the fully unlocked nvram so you don’t have to do those fussy unlocks. It’s actually mpr-23083.ic31 and mpr-23084.ic32 that are the wrong sizes, and quite frankly I don’t know why. Most of you will get an error that mpr-23083.ic31 is not the correct file size, and that would be correct. While this step is usually easy for most games (throw the games and bios into the roms folder and play), MvC2 is a little tricky. Now when you go back to your Bios & Plugins page, you’ll already have the Net Blade plugin in the spot it needs to be. Place the netBlade.dll file into your plugins folder. Then, drag and drop kailleraclient.dll and the netblade.ini file into the demul folder. We’ll go ahead and take care of that now.Įxtract the netBlade_v0.42(Windows) into it’s own folder somewhere else. You’ll notice that there is no Net Play plugin. Click Ok.Īt this point, you can configure whatever options you need to, or you can come back to it later. You will get a “BIOS & Plugins not configured” message.
Open Demul by clicking the Demul file in the folder. When you first download and extract Demul, you’re going to get a folder like this: Of course, you should always check to see if these are the newest files from the official sites. STICK WITH THE ORIGINAL 0.38 UNTIL NOW (DOWNLOAD HERE: ). UPDATE: THE NEW VERSIONS OF NETBLADE WILL DESYNC. Link: DEMUL - Sega Dreamcast Emulator for Windows Step 5.3: Using a Server to Find or Host Gamesįirst, you’re going to want to download the newest Demul (at the time of writing this tutorial, it is 0.5.6 WIP) I figure I could take a crack at making a tutorial for this, so we can get more people playing online.
