Mario kart 7 split screen co op method
#Mario Kart 7

I've seen videos of people doing split screen, I'm curious on how they got it to work like that
this is what im referring to
I know about parsec but everything else in getting this to work im lost

I only got it to work on Download Play compatible games with 2 azahar instances using system files from 2 Nintendo 3DSes, tho may be able to make it work with only your 3DS system files by having that instance with the system files host and everyone else joins that? or you can turn on the DLP module in View > Debugging > Toggle LLE modules

I found this in the description of one of the videos "This is actually easier to set up than it looks. Getting the local-play lobbies to load in is the most annoying part. Make 7 clones of your Citra install folder, To get each Citra to save different settings, make a User folder in each clone folder and that will make each Citra no longer link to the default appdata\roaming location. Copy over your nand to all 7 clone citra User directories. Open Parsec Soda and turn on all 8 gamepads. Open all 8 Citras, regenerate console ID for each one and config controls using a 2nd PC connecting in through Parsec. In Soda you can move the controller connected to each slot. So configure Citra 1, move the controller down a slot, configure Citra 2, move the controller down a slot, so on, etc (while pressing the buttons on the one gamepad connected to the 2nd PC, soda moves it to each x-input slot). Each Citra will remember which X-input slot that is supposed to control it, so if you relaunch all emulators from scratch, the controls will still be saved.
Getting kart to actually load a lobby is tricky. I set emulator speed to 40% for all emulators. I always launch all 8 knowing all 8 wont load in lobby. Whichever citras get communication error and drop, I disable those pads in Parsec Soda. So in this video, I launched 8 citras, and 6 loaded in so I rolled with it. Usually I get 3 or 4 each try that is why this is such a pain. I only got all 8 to work once and it was destroying my PC. Oh I forgot to mention, you need a fast rig to run multiple instances of Citra like this. I have 5900x rtx 3070."
This is all very confusing to me though

Well yeah, you have to clone azahar the number of times you need players, so 2 players you need 2 azahars, 3 players need 3 azahar, etc
So you can go where you installed azahar copy, and paste as many as you need, and create a folder called "user" inside them so they're all isolated
Then get MK7 onto everyone, and connect them all to a multiplayer room, using 127.0.0.1 for the IP as that's the localhost IP

i see, but when i go into the game and press local multiplayer
and the i press create a room
it just infinitely loads
it doesnt do anything
when i open the game it does say this and idk if that has anything to do with why it just loads instead of making a room
ruby flicker
it just infinitely loads
Yeah, that's why I said to toggle the DLP module, it's the fault of download play and how the game uses it, preferably just connect your 3DS and do system files setup for full compatibility
clear steeple
okay i toggled the dlp module in view debugging and toggle LLE service modules
nothings changed
ruby flicker
And you did that on every azahar?
clear steeple
oh sorry let me do it on the other1
ruby flicker
And you restarted the game emulation and made sure the module stayed on as the game is on?
clear steeple
i turned it on the restarted the game yes
it still says the same thing in the ss
and when i press make a room it still just loads indefinitely
clear steeple
And you did that on every azahar?
im using citra
ruby flicker
Yeah, well the host will probably just need the system files, you could just try to get that and that's all
ruby flicker
I only got it to work on Download Play compatible games with 2 azahar instances ...
Yeah, and this is an azahar server, we recommend you use azahar instead, as you can see it works here too
clear steeple
so i should dump my 3ds system files onto the emulator
and then it should work
since it uses download play
ruby flicker
Yeah maybe, I didn't test just one 3DS, I did it with 2 separate ones
But with one you will be able to host
And from there the others maybe can join
ruby flicker
If you do system files on 2 azahar instances they can't connect cause a 3DS can't connect to itself
But again, if only one has the system files, that one will be able to host the room
And from there maybe the others can join
clear steeple
so dump the files on the original and then i can host instead of it just loading, and then on the copy i can try and make it connect?
sorry if im not getting it
ruby flicker
so dump the files on the original and then i can host instead of it just loading...
Yes, that's what I'm saying may work, I can't say for sure as I haven't tested that scenario
