I'm trying to connect two Wiis running Nintendont using its BBA Emulation via two official LAN Adapters and a crossover cable, unfortunately, testing with Mario Kart Double Dash, I only got stuck at the screen that appears when trying to establish a connection.
Both Wiis are able to find each other. The "Searching for Gamecube" screen doesn't appear at all, starting LAN mode directly goes to the "Connection is being established. One moment please" screen, where nothing happens. Both Wiis are still responsive, so I'm able to return to the menu. Sometimes both Wiis just show a black screen for a few seconds, with the LAN setup music playing before showing the establishing connection screen.
Having the LAN adapters plugged in, but not the crossover cable, makes both Wiis wait after the Gamecube boot screen. Plugging the cable in syncs up both of them and the game proceeds with the Nintendo Logo.
Plugging the LAN Adapter into the other USB port doesn't change anything. Both LAN Adapters are working for connecting to the Internet.
I also did a quick test with Kirby Air Ride NTSC, but that one also gets stuck in the establishing connection screen, freezes the clock on screen after a bit for a few seconds on both Wiis, then continues spinning and becomes unresponsive.
Does someone know how to get the Wiis to connect or if it's even possible to connect two Nintendont instances? I read about connecting Nintendont to GCN or Dolphin, but couldn't find much about just Nintendont to Nintendont.
Using WiFi... kinda works. With more than one player per Wii, it gets very laggy, unstable and unfortunately unplayable.
Setup:
Two PAL Wiis (the ones with GCN ports)
Nintendont from SD card
Wii 1 loads the game from HDD, Wii 2 from the original disc
Mario Kart Double Dash PAL, tried 50Hz and 60Hz modes
All video tweaks (Force PAL60, Force Progressive, etc.) disabled
Native control enabled
BBA Emulation enabled and set to the LAN Adapter in Nintendont
