Reply To: Netplay on RetroPie

[herbfargus]

If I remember correctly on the PC I had to go into the retroarch menu each time and enable netplay manually in the network options before I launched a rom through the rgui (this is essentially what the runcommand menu does on retropie).

yes- the port matters very much as that is how they are communicating over the IP. really all the settings should be exactly the same except one should be host, one should be client. (if you are on separate networks you may have to enable port forwarding through your router)

Just for reference: in retroarch 1.2.2 its in settings>>network>>netplay enable

I had to set that each time I launched a new game on the pc (you may be able to set netplay_mode = "true" in the retroarch.cfg as well so you dont have to manually set it each time.
