Played for hours with kusa and other friends who live in mexico while I'm in cali, delay 3 no slow down or frame skips just the regular online delay.
Will test with some friends in cali to see what lower delays feel like.
So far i think that as long as both players have good pc's and good net it's quite playable.

EDIT: New build up guys

http://www.mediafire.com/?g134p7p5r8kbm8p

[16:49:35] <sat0ri> Changes:
[16:49:37] <sat0ri> 1. Client downloads server's memory card data to stay in sync. When the session ends, saved games persist only on server's side;
[16:49:37] <sat0ri> 2. Frameskipping after slowdown due to packet loss should be fixed;
[16:49:37] <sat0ri> 3. Some stability issues addressed

Everyone has to update to this one if you want to get the benefit of the save data stuff.

EDIT: lmao this default memcard is on fucking arcade balance, don't forget to change that shit before u play or practice anything.

I said it sounded like a similar system based on what he told me.  Gleam of Force was never mentioned as a comparison in the conversation.
Well, thats what I remember reading, sorry to misquote you.

Also GoF Netplay was really good.  Netplay connections from 500 miles went smooth, and I was even on a playable connection with the Japanese sometimes (from East Coast America).  Frenchbread is no small doujin developer, they are one of the longest outstanding doujin developers in existence.
I think you are grossly over exaggerating the quality of GoF netplay because it was passable enough to mess around but not some shining pedestal of awesomeness (although I never really got into that game anyway so if you say so...). Besides, even Twilight Frontier, arguably an even larger doujin developer hasn't had the greatest success with their netplay either, and they too had caster implemented into their game before.

I don't think Emu play which allows me to practically mash out of string-tight pressure and doesn't properly process active/recovery frames with no respect to the game buffer (gattling gun combos with no timing) PLUS the fact that's it's netplay with netplay delay that apparently Desyncs without warning can come anywhere close to what a well-funded FrenchBread could do.   
That doesn't really happen. This thing has lag, yes, but its not as extreme/fucked up as you're claiming it is. Not that I'm advocating this netplay as a super flawless brilliant experience, its a mixed bag but hell, its MBAA netplay, its functional, and problems tend to be more about individual computers and connections than the program itself in my experience. If you want to play as serious as a offline tourney, sure, its not going to work out, but for casuals/people having fun/learning some new characters, it's enjoyable compared to playing MBAC again (hell, I've played over 300 games on this thing or more already)

Quote
The developers and publishers of these AAA-budget fighters think that the quality of the online play matters little in regards to how well the game sells, and management allocates resources to other areas?

There's a reason why the best-functioning online code for fighting games have been, to date, independently produced.  I actually think the genre having bad online functionality holds the entire genre of games back. Granted, things are stacked against it -- it's much harder to mask latency in a fighting game than... well, any other type of game, really, and the way XBL/PSN handle matchmaking right now is ill-suited to fighting games.
You do have a point, but honestly when the game is basically being bundled as a bonus with an anime you have to admit it makes you wonder if they even have the chance to really put the effort in. As far as a port goes its not like theres any significant work from moving it off whats basically windows xp on Ringwide.

It looks there no actual delay in this netplay.

The config screen(s) for the new version of PCSX2 are way different than the ones in the guide. Can someone link me to an older version of PCSX2 with the proper config set up?

The new version works with default settings, so just get that.

I tried it with the newer version + default settings but every time I got to the Memory Card part and couldn't select Yes or No. It's probably something with my pad :/

That stuff comes up after a short while when there are no incoming connections, i believe. Could it be that the hosts port isn't open?

Hmm? I haven't started with the netplay yet. I was talking about as soon as you load up the game for the first time it asks if you want to create a save file for it (or something like that). I can press buttons to get to that point but it's like as soon as I get there my pad stops working.

Hopefully that makes sense.

it seems I'm also getting stuck at the memory screen. I tried by removing memory card and all but it still didn't work. Would we have better chance of connection if we used Hamachi to connect to one another?

I believe Hamachi helps a bit, my friend who has problems with another friend while using direction connection switched over to hamachi and he doesn't have any problems now at all.

You only "need" Hamachi if neither of you have their port forwarded (and thus can't host). It kinda works like relay did for MBAC. Anyway, don't use Hamachi, just take 5 minutes to learn how to forward your port.

Anyone else having FPS issues on Netplay? Playing with a friend from Sweden(I'm in US) we had a very stable connection, although a constant 49 FPS.

I tried with another friend much closer, and we had a very unstable FPS that would spike up to 60 and down to 30 very randomly.

stable connection is when you play with your friend who sits next to you... or at least when you live in the same city\state and both have decent internet.

I just got everything up and running but I'm having trouble with the controls. Does anyone else have problems with stiff controls? Also what's the simplest way to get a PS3 controller running?

Hi everyone! I've been busy with this netplay thing for quite some time and I think it's ready now. I know an emulator is not the best netplay option, but this project was just for fun anyway.
If anyone's interested, here's the latest version.
NOTE: To avoid desyncs do not change any settings except for the controller plugin configuration. It's not like it will definitely desync if you change anything, but the possibility escalates. :teach:

I don't know what more to say. If you have any questions, ask away!

EDIT: link's updated

Thank you, good work! =D

Or not lol

Actually, I'm having lots of problems with the new release, it immediately closes the program randomly, even when playing. This happened to me and fiendmaw.

Here in Brazil we already had our first online tournament. There were no problems at all, and was pretty fun.

Thank you a lot Sat0ri for making it possible. Hope you keep improving it. It's getting good.

Haha! Sucessful troll is sucessful xD. The next one will be offline!
Btw I really like your events Roku. Keep up the seriousness in your events. Gdlk stuff.

Btw (2) are you guys being able to play with all characters open? I wasnt.. And I think the file is the same, since it came with the built. But yesterday a dude sent me his memorycard file and it worked out in the second try.

Ok, I'll contact you or fiendmaw on IRC.

And you too (you visit IRC, right?)

'Cause MB is where it's at 8-)
That and I haven't announced this project on general emulation forums yet.

On a related note I'm trying to netplay Tales of the Abyss with this and we desync fairly often; going to test this again later with the same settings but i'll see how it goes from there

just wanted to let you guys (at least those who don't know it yet) know about this thing.

http://buildbot.orphis.net/pcsx2/

it's a site with automatically pre-compiled pcsx2 builds, so you don't need to compile anything, since everything's being done by the guy's server anytime a new svn commit is done.

if anything, it can be used to update the plugins since they get constantly improved.

it also has a psp emulator builds in another subfolder for those who care.
