So I've not seen any injects that I've downloaded of NES games have this feature aside from Super Mario 3. Is there a way to inject multiplayer games into Mario 3 and retain that wifi download play for multiplayer? I'd really love to play games like Contra and Super Tecmo Super Bowl wirelessly with my buddy.

I've tried it, unfortunately it just gave an error code. I simply injected the Ice Climbers VC with Contra (Ice Climbers because it had Wireless.)

That's frustrating, it probably has to be re-coded for every game individually, just like the gameboy VC wireless linking. Though @TheStoneBanana was able to figure out how to get that working in other Pokemon injects, so I bet if someone that knew what they were doing took a look at the wireless multiplayer NES games, they'd be able to get injects working with wireless multiplayer as well.

Maybe, even though they used a different system than download play. They (instead) emulated a link cable, which works on all GB and GBC games (theoretically speaking.) Download play downloads the full game to a different system, and then allows the other system to act as player 2. So it would be a completely different process...

About a year ago I tried doing this with HANS and SMB 3, but what I found was that when sending the game through Download Play, I would have the rom I had inserted with HANS on my system, but the other system would have SMB 3.

That's the issue. You either have this issue (when you load externally,) or you get an error code (when you load as an injected VC.) I have a feeling this won't happen any time soon. If you want multiplayer NES emulation, try NESDS. It's a NES emulator (for the DS) that offers multiplayer over a local server. It's also one of the most solid NES emulators I've ever seen...

I imagine it can be, just not easily, I mean Pokemon trading has been made to work with Silver/Gold and Rom Hacks and I recall seeing a video that had SplatooD? a NES Demake wokring Multiplayer.

Didn't see this before edit... the reason HANS might not send over the correct game is they normally build a CIA within the ROMFS that holds the game so if you didn't also replace that version it would still send SMB3.

Since I was tagged in here and I've seen a few people mention the Pokemon Gold/Silver/Crystal patches, allow me to explain something.
How those work are completely different from this. They aren't even similar at all.

Sure, yeah, if I or someone else sat down to look at how this NES multiplayer works, it could be figured out. It seems a lot more straightforward than how the Pokemon patches work, to be honest. However, I have little interest in this.

Its not related with nes, but i think that genesis injected games can be played with local play.

pretty sure the issue is with the current rebuild methods, they strip out the DLP container which is used for download play, i just quickly edited a clean DLP compatible game and edited in a different game and it does seen there is a second copy of the rom(presumably in the DLP romfs) that is used instead of the main rom, but a quick search didnt show any more copies of the original game......i will have another look if i can decrypt and extract the DLP romfs and see whats contained in there

EDIT: oh how fun its another cia file......ciainception

My idea is to just run NESDS through TWLoader, and use the Nifi feature. Problem solved...

    Have you ever been beaten by a wet spaghetti noodle by your girlfriend because she has a twin sister, and you got confused and fucked her dad?

    I had a girlfriend who had a twin sister and they would mess with me constantly.... Until one chipped a tooth then finally I could tell them apart.... Lol

    @The Real Jdbye, I could see AMD trying to pull off the CPU GPU tandem thing, would be a way to maybe close the gap a bit with Nvidia. Plus it would kinda put Nvidia at a future disadvantage since Nvidia can't make X86/64 CPUs? Intel and AMD licensing issues... I wonder how much that has held back innovation.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think nvidia wants to get in the x64 cpu market anyways
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    you've seen how much intel is struggling getting into the gpu market
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and nvidia is already doing ARM

    i don't think they want to take more focus away from their gpus
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah I think Nvidia s future lays in AI GPU acceleration stuff if they can get that going it's going to be super interesting in the long term

    AI assisted game creation might become a thing

    At least that's something I think would be pretty cool.

    Many TBs of assets and the programming of something like that is going to be tough but I think it's something we might see in 20 years maybe sooner
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Psionic Roshambo AI assisted game creation is kinda already here, there was recently that AI that can turn any 2D image into a fully modeled 3D object, it's not perfect, but it's a starting point, beats starting from zero

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    before that there was one to generate a fully modeled scene from a 2D image
    +1
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but most recently, there was one that actually generates a working unity scene with terrain and textures already set up that you can import right into unity, that's a huge time saver right there

    and using LLMs to generate NPC dialogue and even dynamically generated quests is something i'm sure is already happening

    will just take some time for games made using those things to be completed and released
