I'm in.

Joxam · « **Reply #2 on:** February 20, 2008, 07:38:12 AM »

I'll do it.

S D S · « **Reply #3 on:** February 20, 2008, 07:59:36 AM »

Me!

Dooly · « **Reply #4 on:** February 20, 2008, 09:34:34 PM »

I want in, but if we're using FCE Ultra again, I can't get a connection to starmen.net, which is the server I suggested we use last time. Hell, I'd set up a server on a laptop on my home network if I didn't have to compile the software myself.

I'm in on this. The last tournament we just used Nesticle and direct connected to each other, and that worked pretty well. It also allows everyone to get their game on at their own convenience. Once we get everyone who's going to play we can setup the bracket.

Nesticle works too, so I guess that can be the new official emulator.

As for sign-ups, two more would be grand. A, I don't know, whole forum would be cool too, though.

Hmm. Will FCEU play nice with nesticle, or nesticle not run crappily in WINE?

Dooly · « **Reply #8 on:** February 21, 2008, 03:41:50 PM »

For that matter, does the latest version of Nesticle work well in XP?

That was like seven years ago

There's gotta be better NES netplay than Nesticle... is there?

FIND ONE

Since tomorrow, as it happens, is the first of March, I'll be putting the first round match-ups up. If you're interested and haven't posted here, do so. If you have posted here and aren't interested, point it out.

First post is updated with a master list.

The game looks jacked up in Nesticle, it won't run at full screen, and it'll only let me use the joystick on my Xbox controller instead of the dpad. This is after I set the program to run in Windows 95 compatibility mode in XP.

This game was always hideously buggy on emulators, and painful to play online.

I'm surprised you guys are trying.

Dooly · « **Reply #14 on:** February 29, 2008, 01:11:58 AM »

It worked great in FCE Ultra last time, but now there are no available netplay servers that I can find, and I can't use the server software to set one up myself without compiling it in fucking Cygwin.

Royal☭ · « **Reply #15 on:** February 29, 2008, 06:48:56 AM »

The first level in Nesticle was always screwed up.

Sharkey · « **Reply #16 on:** March 01, 2008, 03:15:21 AM »

Whenever you can find your way over the shocking, embarrassing technical boulders, sure, I'll throw down.

Fun fact, if you look over those old nesticle matches I choose not to re-expose to the internet, you can actually track my progressive drunkenness and deescalation from absolutely romping people to being completely incapable of picking up a ball lying dead on the ground directly in front of me. Good times.

Beat Bandit · « **Reply #17 on:** March 01, 2008, 08:15:21 AM »

You all smell, some more than others.

Since no one can suggest the non-existent replacement for Nesticle, that will remain the standard, but feel free to use any other emulator if your match-up agrees to it.

Just to give everyone time to meet on IRC or what-not and choose what they want to use, this round isn't over until next Saturday, but if everyone finished sooner, we'll move on.

Check the first post for match-ups.

Joxam · « **Reply #18 on:** March 01, 2008, 09:40:58 AM »

I think JNES might be the better emulator to use for this, it is windows based and has built in netplay support.

Dooly · « **Reply #19 on:** March 04, 2008, 04:03:11 PM »

Coincidentally, how do I go about setting up an online game with Nesticle95? When I click Start Server, any game that's running stops and it won't load any other roms while in server mode. When I click Connect, it just asks for the IP address of someone who's presumably running in server mode. Is the actual game being played determined entirely by the rom the client player opens?
