You definitely need the ISO, v1.02

That being said, I'm not too sure how good your ping will be vs other players. I'm assuming Australians are your best bet, because I don't know of any Japanese players on netplay. Have you tried reaching out to other japanese melee players? The closer they are the better your playing experience will be.

Japan has a decent scene, no? I would just go find them and play in person. Netplay has input and network lag so it's not optimal if you can avoid it at all.

edit: so I finally got around to setting this up, but it doesn't connect to anyone and vice versa. I have it allowed in my firewall, netplay build, correct ISO, netplay AR code, etc. etc. Any idea what the problem is?

edit2: never mind, I fixed it. West coast come play me.

My frame rate is trash ;;
Somehow, Project M runs fine.
Melee, not so much.

Have you fiddled with the graphic settings and such?

I've tried a few things.
Forcing frame skips doesn't help.
I'm not sure what would.

We've got a little skype group going on with Euro people who are just starting out and some higher skilled people. Drop me a pm with your skypename and I'll add you.

As for checking the version, I'm not entirely sure. It should be in the filename of the ISO? I'm not at home right now so cant check myself

Quick question: can anyone tell me how come "Global Melee Netplay Settings" isn't showing up in my AR codes section? I guess this is necessary to netplay? :O

I had a question regarding the deadzone value. what is that for exactly?

Basically, increasing the dead zone increases the amount of distance you have to move the analog stick until the game registers it. I'd run it at 0 but if you use a brand new controller for example, I'd try to have some deadzone, maybe 5-10.

I have it currently set to 0 deadzone and I felt like the used controller was responding much better to dash dances and moonwalks than the new controller and I thought it might have to do with controller settings. thanks for the tip shikyo

edit: i also have a question regarding radius. is that always at 100?

Whoops wrong thread.

Anyways for netplay, What does buffer do? Apparently buffer corresponds to ticks of 15 ms?

I know nothing about what it actually is but yeah that would be close to the general rule of thumb I go by. Basically lower the buffer as much as you can until it starts to lag on the menu/char select screen.
