VGBA Netplay issue

[thesi...@gmail.com]

Hi,

I'm using Pokemon FireRed with VGBA and my girlfriend is using Pokemon Leaf Green.

We both have the most recent update for VGBA. We are also connected to the same network (I'm using my phone as a hotspot)

The problem we are having is when we try to trade over Netplay, I set my phone as the server, but on hers my phone doesn't show up in the list, so we try manual connect. When we try to game, it keeps saying please wait.

Is this a Netplay issue?

This is the issue with trying to connect two DIFFERENT games. VGBA checks the unique ID each GBA game has and only lets games with the SAME ID connect via NetPlay. Thus, if both of you used Pokemon Red or Pokemon Green, it would be able to connect.

Yes, I know that Pokemon games are kind of exception to this rule, but the current NetPlay server does not know that :)
