Dude, I would say get another pc pad. I got the Saitek P220 pc usb pad and its the bomb for only 10 smackeroonies!
I play on latency 1 and i have ZERO lag. All my moves come out when i want them to, and its as if we were playing side by side on a snes. Try the saitek p220. Its take a beating and its still tickin fine.
jsj: yeah thats the one i was thinking of getting. everyone tells me it controls well, even tho it looks like a peice of shit haha. hopefully i’ll be able to pick one up whenever i can get some dough. bills have been tight lately…
GG’s Sabre, I can tell you know your shit but a good controller is hard to come by (it really affects execution, doesn’t it?). Mine’s ok for charge characters, but motion characters are a no-no with my set up. We’ll have to play again sometime.
Sorry Maxstah, I got going on a set while I was waiting around. Did you play anymore games and get your lag issues resolved?
BTW, if there was interest and we did do a an online tournament, how would it be set up? Would there be real-time online brackets so it could all be done in one day or would/could it be a multi-day event?
-wes
i figure the best way to do a tournament would be to have all the people participating in some sort of chat room. Like say in a particular mirc channel. From there we could set up the matches, report back results, etc…
yea my pc was runnin at 20% had to reboot and fixed my lag problem. But i am getting fustrated trying to do anything on this POS pad. I feel like a scrub (and play probably) it sucks cuz the few people i have played i know , know what they’re doing and know it would be great battles if i had a stick. just fustrating is all. I used to have a adapter to use MAS stick on there. ordered it from hong kong but unfortunatly that broke last year while on kaillera kick. well maybe one day i’ll get another. Wes roomate u have a good rog . nice patterns and brian if same one i played nice guile. cya all lil later.
Nice games, CoB. Your Chun is too cool.
Max, get a better adapter…so we can do some more HF!!!
Lowering latency reduces the button delay. At latency 3, if you press jump, it will jump a little while after you pressed the key. Putting it to latency 1 reduces this delay alot, so it’s very important to put it to 1 if you play fighting games.
The drawback is you MAY lose fps. If you both have good connection and arent too far away, it should run perfectly or close to perfect.
thats not answering my question. does changing the latency affect my input refresh rate? like it does in kaillera? or does my input always stay at 60fps? thats what im wondering
It’s good to see that Atmos’ broadband dilemma has finally been solved. Hopefully you will get to play Sabre on KI. If and when you guys do play, feel free to let the rest of us know how it went. After reading the last few posts, it has come to my attention that people are still using horrible pads (ala the MS Sidewinder). People, feel free to do some research and personally look into some pads that are more to your liking. I have recommended the SNES pad before. Apparently “Gummy” is the only one who bothered to listen->and he’s not even on SRK 
So…to all you guys with inept pads/sticks, firewalls, routers, contraband, etc., my heart goes out to you…really 
man im too poor right now to get new gear. brother(roomate) been jobless for a bit. so im kinda stuck with the gaywinder…errr…sidewinder.
when i get a chance, i’ll get a pad to mod a stick so i dont have to worry about pad’s, period!
and we already played KI. felt really weird playing. havent really touched the game(snes version atleast) since late 1996. i can get back into the groove tho…
Anybody that fixed there problem with zbattle can you help me out. I have a router issue which is a linksys. So anyone iwth a linksys who fixed there problem tell me how you fixed it.
go to virtual server, add port 7845 and put in your ip adress
I found out the problem with linksys routers. The main problem is the firmwire versions. When I had the June 24th 2003 version, zbnet wasnt working. I found the original firmwire on a disc and I restored it back to the July 2001 version (1.39). After port forwarding ZSNES connected fine and now its perfect. Hope this helps.
that is not true. i upgraded to the latest firmware version and it works fine. most peoples problem with port forwarding is that they arent assigning themselves a static ip and disabling dhcp when using port forwarding. i have no issues with the current firmware whatsoever
Hey Sabre,
I just ran into “KOLP.” It sounds like he’s having the same problem with his Linksys router you were having. Do you mind posting exactly what you did do to get around your router here on this thread so that other people (along with Kolp) will figure it out? -Thx
well i need to knopw what his problem is. i sent him a pm but he hasnt responded yet… my problem wasnt the router. it was configured right the whole time. my problem was that i overlooked one of your steps in your initial post in this thread. i didnt realize that zbattle had to be installed in the root directory of zsnes. that was my only problem the whole time. which is really silly since zbattle asks you to point it to the proper directory for the zsnes executable. hella misleading.
but if it is the router, i guess i can give basic directions on what to do. this is all running under XP of course.
first step is to log into the router (192.168.1.1 pass:admin)
once inside, click on the status tab. it should give you all your address protocol the isp assigns you. plus you need to know what the ip the router assigned your computer(192.168.1.2 ; 192.168.1.3…4…5…6 and so forth) usually the first computer hooked up to the router is 192.168.1.2 and the second is 1.3. you can find out more by clicking on the dhcp tab and looking in the dhcp client table of all the ip’s the router assigned to anything hooked up to the network…
now that this is established. it may be a good idea to write all the ip addresses on the status page. not neccessary but it is recommended. you will be using these numbers to assign your computer a static ip address. if you dont write the numbers down, then leave this window open so you have immediate access to the ip’s
now that we know the ip’s, go to control panel>network connections. right click your lan/internet connection and click properties. double click on internet protocol(tcp/ip). you should now be in a window where you can set ip addresses. right now its all set on automatic, but we want to enter the numbers in manually.
click on “use the following ip address”
for ip address. you need to enter the ip address the router assigned to your computer as stated earlier (192.168.1.2…3…4…5)
next enter the subnet mask in the appropriate area( this info should be in the linksys router’s status page that we left open remember) usually the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. pretty easy number.
next is default gateway. this is the router’s ip address(192.168.1.1 for the linksys router)
now you need to set the dns servers. most isp’s give you 3 dns servers. windows only needs 2, a primary and an alternate. so usually, just pick the first 2 on the list and you’ll be ok.
go ahead and apply changes. now you successfully assigned a static ip to your computer. if you have other computers on the network, do the same for those so everyone will still have a connection.
now that the static ip is finished, you have to disable the DHCP server in the router menu. click on the dhcp tab and disable it(first option) and apply changes.
after all this, your computer might be able to reastablish connection to the lan/internet immediately but sometimes it doesnt. if it doesnt. restart your computer, router, and cable/dsl/whatever. a good restart for a router and modem is to power it off for atleast 10 seconds.
you should now be online. you can now use port forwarding. to open the port for zsnes’ online capabilities, use port 7845. log back into the router, click the advanced tab, then click on the forwarding tab. this should bring up the port range forwarding menu.
its a good idea to keep track of which port is for what program and such. thats what the left blank, customized application fields are for. so it would be a good idea to call it zbattle or zsnes. whatever you wanna call it so if you ever needed to tweak the ports in the future, youll know which port it is. cuz like me, my whole list is full of ports, and if you dont name em, you can get lost and wont know which one is the problem if you ever have any…
anyway, like i said earlier the port for zbattle/zsnes is 7845. so go ahead and put that number in both ext.ports. so it should read 7845 to 7845. then checkmark udp. the ip address is the address you want the port to go to. you obviously want it on your computer so fill in the last number that corresponds to your computer and checkmark enable.
and thats it. port forwarding is now a snap. as long as youw the ports of programs, its a breeze…
questions? bitches, gripes, complaints? lol :lol:
hope it helps
Sorry for not responding early but i was doing a search on port forwarding. It woks now SaBrE thanks for telling me about fort forward. I made a search and downloaded port magic to make it work.
hmm i dunno how that stuff works, but i would still recommend doing it the way it was meant to be done so there are no issues at all(and so i dont feel like it typed all that for nothing :lol: ) its only like a 4 minute procedure heh
but i guess as long as it works…
damn i wanna get in on this, maybe we can meet up on irc, #zbattle on efnet?
