Paulo No need to adjust anything for AtariMania's online ROM playing, right? Edited May 2, 2018 by Rom Hunter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulo Peccin Posted May 2, 2018 Author Share Posted May 2, 2018 (edited) No need to adjust anything for AtariMania's online ROM playing, right? No, just update the js file and everything should work fine. EDIT: I forgot you are linking to my site, not hosting yourself... So nothing has to be done! :-) But there is the new option I promised you of changing the background color of the page! Its in the docs, but I'll explain to you how to use it via email, ok?

Tangentg Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Not sure if it's appropriate to ask here since it's 2 years old but this is the relevant Google result I found. Someone asked about whether there are Javatari Netplayers and playing Atari multiplayer has been on my mind for years but I never knew it was possible. But... How do you set it up on Javatari? Also, any chance of making a mouse-input for paddles? Medieval Mayhem and Joust are among the first games I'd like to try netplaying.

One player has to "host" the session, giving it a name, then the others "join" the session by entering the same name. All this is controlled by the menu entry Power > NetPlay! Since its completely peer to peer, sometimes the network discovery take a while to finish the connection, and also the speed and experience on the games depend heavily on the players network quality.

Paulo Oh I thought the "power button" literally just turns turns the console on and off so I only looked at the gear icon. Seems a bit unintuitive, but thanks for clearing that up. Hoping to see mouse support for paddles in the future as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tangentg Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 (edited) So I tried to join a session yesterday but when I clicked on a link shared to me by the host, all I get to is the emulator screen with no game running or cartridge inserted. I tried hosting later but my partner told me they're seeing the same "no game" screen as I do but that it says "establishing connection". I'd see client2 joining a second before client2 dropped. Another problem, I previously tried loading a ROM on there and today I wanted to try loading a different ROM but it doesn't work. All I could play is the first game I ever loaded. I'd click on the cartridge space and there's a button that says "open ROM file" but I clicked it and no window opened like the first time. The thing simply disappears.

Paulo Peccin Posted May 17, 2020 Author Share Posted May 17, 2020 Very strange indeed... Please, tell me what is your device, OS and browser. I seems like something may be "blocking" some functions on your system. Are you using some sort of web security software, strong firewalls, or an Apple device? Maybe its blocking the RTC connection process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
