Citra has local multiplayer support (through Wi-Fi).

VBA-Link and some forks of VBA-M have netplay support for link cable emulation between two GBA units.

This is for playing with other Dolphin emulators.

Dolphin: This guide should help, although it should be noted that netplay is not perfect.

FightCade: SNES rollback netplay, experimental.

Hamachi (and other methods) or a port forward is required.

Mesen S: Mesen S has a netplay feature, available by going to Tools -> Netplay.

FightCade: NES rollback netplay, experimental.

I'm not sure if it's possible to get it to work.

Jnes: Still shows signs of being updated, but it absolutely HATES anything other than stock Kaillera.

The author did away with netplay in more recent versions. Has a very nice interface but the documentation doesn't indicate what ports it uses, so you're limited to using a VPN like Hamachi.

RockNESX 2.0: A very old NES emulator.

Mesen: Mesen has a netplay feature, available by going to Tools -> Netplay.

Save states cannot be used during netplay, and bringing up the menu screen will cause disconnection.

RetroArch *: FCEUmm, QuickNES, or Nestopia cores support netplay.

Netplay emulates local multiplayer allowing for players across the globe to play the same game as if they were in the same room. Out of convenience, handheld consoles that required link cable or wireless within a small distance in the same room between two units will be considered local multiplayer as well. This section will cover consoles that originally had local multiplayer, also known as couch multiplayer, where multiple controllers were hooked to the same console. To do that, follow the Port Forwarding Guide For Netplay. You should note that some emulators and clients will require you to forward your ports.

Some emulators still register input from keyboards while you're chatting on separate chat windows.

It's highly recommended to use a controller.

Try not to move the emulator window around, or switch focus to windows other than the chat/Kaillera window and emulator, or you risk desyncing the game.

When using netplay, make sure not to have anything downloading (torrents, YouTube videos, etc.).

Do not be discouraged and try again until it works.

It sometimes takes several consecutive tries for the game to stay synced well enough to enjoy some multiplayer action.

Choppy/stuttery gameplay is also very common, and sometimes there is controller input lag. Before you begin, here are some things to consider:
