This should be transparent, but it may cause regressions. The idea here is that now all players, including the host of the server, talk to the server through TCP/IP networking. This significantly reduces our codepaths through netplay, and will prevent strange local-only bugs from happening. The cleanup isn't 100% finished yet. The NetPlay dialog still drives the server through private APIs. I eventually want to sanction off the server entirely, so all communication is done through TCP/IP. This will allow us to have high-traffic public servers that can relay multiple games and lobbies at a time, and split off channel and game management to people other than the host. This is all still just a pipe dream, though.
Dolphin-emu - The Gamecube / Wii Emulator
==========================================
Homesite: http://dolphin-emu.org/
Project Site: http://code.google.com/p/dolphin-emu
Dolphin-emu is a emulator for Gamecube, Wii, Triforce that lets
you run Wii/GCN/Tri games on your Windows/Linux/Mac PC system.
Open Source Release under GPL 2
Project Leaders: F|RES, ector
Team members: http://code.google.com/p/dolphin-emu/people/
Please read the FAQ before use:
http://dolphin-emu.org/docs/faq/
System Requirements:
* OS: Microsoft Windows (XP/Vista or higher) or Linux or Apple Mac OS X (10.6 or higher).
Windows XP x64 is NOT supported.
* Processor: Fast CPU with SSE2 supported (recommended at least 2Ghz).
Dual Core for speed boost.
* Graphics: Any reasonably modern graphics card (Direct3D9/OpenGL 2.1, shader model 3.0).
