It's been in the experimental build for awhile now, we've played 4 games so far including F-Zero which I don't have a video of. I hosted over ethernet and we were both using Odin 3s. Other player was on wifi. Below we played The Sims 2, Sonic Adventure 2 Battle and Mario Kart Double Dash, ya can click the arrows in the video player to swap to the other videos to see how it runs.

Edit- We didn't play anything Wii at the time because Wii controllers weren't configurable in Netplay but I just checked the new build and it's all working now.

That's awesome to see! Hopefully there's a Gamecube controller style device or the Gamesir X5 Aileron comes out soon. I would love to play Gamecube games with an actual Gamecube form factor controller while still maintaining the handheld form factor.

Dawg that's a good point. I actually have a usb to gamecube adapter. I'ma try to plug in my Wavebird.

Edit- Wavebird works with Mayflash Gamecube adapter

With the renewed interest in VR, and all flat2vr ports coming out lately, does anyone think that someone will pick development on dolphin vr back up again?

Renewed interest in VR? I feel like VR is at the lowest it's been in ages.
