Then have the friend(s) join his gameline by clicking on it in the bottom window. Once you’re in the lobby, have who ever is going to host, hit create new game. Enter a username and double click on the lobby of your choice. I have a Ts Perfect Dark lobby set up so feel free to play in there. Comprimise on this one, spread the lag around. Now pick the lobby with the lowest Ms to both you and your buddy. 1 is the best, no lag client side and very little server sync if you have decent latency. More means more client side, but less time between syncs. Setting it to less means less client side, but more delay between server and client side syncs. If you have to Ctrl –Alt –Del out don’t worry, it will save what you’ve done so far.
On to how to work netplay.Ĭlose your rom. Or create this player if you’re on someone else’s hosted server, as they have a different memory file than you do. You will have to load this player everytime you go into multiplayer. Set the controls to 1.2, remove look ahead, and reverse pitch as before. Scroll to the right once to enter player setup. Hit Combat Simulator, it’s time to make your multiplayer profile. Now leave the controls and head back to the main menu. I find it makes the controls kind of “sticky” so I remove it.
Leave auto – aim on if you’d like to cheat. Switch both to 1.2, remove reverse pitch, and remove Look Ahead. You can now toggle between player 1 and 2 controls for coop and single player. Hit A once to scroll to the options screen. Hit E or Shift to select the profile once it’s made. In game hit E on new profile and use WASD to move the cursor and input your name. Not yet though, just keep it in windowed to set options.
Use Alt-Enter to maximize it to full window. Alt – Tab to move between rom and this guide. Now you can save the profile if you’re going to be playing other games, or just hit save if you’re not. Up -> Mouse Axis Y- This is done by moving your mouse forward when it prompts for input. Ztrig -> Left Mouse(Mouse 00) If it won’t let you assign it, go into your windows mouse settings and switch it to a left handed mouse, assign it, then switch back to a right handed mouse. You can set these your own way, but I suggest mine, as it took quite a bit of tinkering with both in-game and out of game controls to make it control like a modern fps. Just set them exactly the same as controller 1. Now you’ll have to set Controller 1 regardless, but if you’re going to netplay set up controllers 2, 3 and 4 as well. You may set anistropic and anti-aliasing if you’d like. Set your full screen resolution to match that of your monitor’s resolution. Ok, exit that and go into Plugins -> Video settings. This plugin is capable of running Perfect Dark with no graphical errors. Click the drop down box for video plugins and select Jabo_direct3d8. Move them to your \1964\099\plugin folder. Next, go to your \Project64 1.6\Plugin folder.
I install them to my desktop for simplicity and easy access. Now install both, to whatever directories you would like.
The second emulator which you will need to borrow plugins from, Project 64, can be found here:
The emulator you will be playing with is called 1964, you can download it here: One to emulate, and one to borrow superior video plugins from. Ok, first you need to download two different emulators. This will give you Modern Fps controls, get your game working with no errors (Hopefully) and get you ready for netplay. So here's a quick guide to get people up and running with Perfect Dark. I've seen several questions on this forum asking how to use some of the more common plugins, and alot of problems with one of the more popular games which is Perfect Dark.
