Many '''configuration options'' in Dolphin must be specified exactly in order for netplay to work and to minimize [[Online desynchronization|desyncs]]. The Netplay Dolphin links above should mostly be preconfigured, but you might have to double check some settings. | |||

If your game | If your game '''[[Online desynchronization|desyncs]] (you and the other player see different things happening in the game)''', it might be caused by mismatched mods or codes (on Wiimmfi or Dolphin), or by mismatched settings in Dolphin. Sometimes desyncs just happen, even when everything is configured correctly, too. Some mods are "wi-fi safe" and don't cause desyncs. | ||
==Minimizing lag== | |||
[[Wi-Fi lag]] is an ever-present enemy of online games. To minimize it as much as possible: | |||
* Use a wired connection instead of wireless. For Wii or Wii U, get a compatible ethernet adapter. | |||
* For Wiimmfi, use the lag reduction [[USB Gecko|Gecko]] code (below). This requires an SD card. | |||
* If you share a connection with other people or devices, get a high-quality router (TBD) and configure Quality of Service (QoS). | |||
* Check if your [https://approvedmodemlist.com/intel-puma-6-modem-list-chipset-defects/ modem is bad]. | |||
* Offline lag minimization techniques also apply. | |||
