Total desync during play....

[laxduke]

Has been going for a while now.
Machines are...

Windows 98 SE (latest drivers)
LAN 3com 3c905B (latest drivers)
Twisted LAN cable

On one machine we have server up, no master communication, private LAN only.
When we play StreetFighter II for a lets say more than 20 minutes, desync occurs, and one monitor shows it's unique view of a game.
It is'n the same anymore.
Same thing happens to Last Blade (NEOGEO).
I have analysed my connection with 3com software, then ping and packet drop/analyser software, than proffesional software from Italia Math university which decrypts tcp packets to 72bytes + ecc bytes.
Everything is ok, there is no packet drop above 1%, in 1000 packets of 32bytes size, and od 72 bytes size it is about 1.6%, which is tolerable, but the game still desyncs?

Any ideas?

After 20 minutes?

What are you complaining about? Just re-start the game.
There might be a problem if it desynced every time you play within the first few seconds, but if you can get 20 minutes of play, it's just a random occurrence.

all i know about desync is that kawaks emulator is the king of desync

it desyncs very often, about 80% of the times i use it, but when i use another emulator like mame32, it desyncs about 10% ot the times i use it, so, maybe its about your emu, not your network configuration. as you didnt wrote about what emu were you using, if it was kawaks, i asume this.

Kawaks netplay isn't that bad for Capcom games. It's with Neo Geo games that Kawaks desynches way too much.

No it is not kawaks, it is Kaillera 061, and server is 0.86
It is definitly emulator, because when i switched to callus95 v0.42, everything
is ok.

oh, i didn´t know since i only use kawaks to play neogeo, but it´s kinda weird......
what´s the relation between neogeo and capcom games to make it desyncs....................?

laxduke: i was going to advice you to mix your thumb fingers to see which give less desync but if you already found te problem, it´s just ok.

Neogeo has a random seed that it uses, and there can be problems if the two emulators use a different seed. There was a fix in UOMAME that set the seed to be the same, I don't know if other emularos do this or not.

Best solution...

For neogeo i use now nebula

i can't play kof 2k1 and 2k2 on nebula though, got any ideas?

i got kawaks 1.45 and kaillera 0.9 and it still desyncs all the time i play

If this has been tried already, forget it, but make sure you are all using the EXACT SAME EMULATOR and r0m version when playing. If anybody has a different one, it will desynch eventually for sure.
