Mednafen Netplay Documentation

Valid as of version 0.7.0


Setting up the server

Download the latest "Mednafen-Server" release from SourceForge. Untarballize it, and read the included "README" files for further instructions and caveats.


Using Mednafen's netplay console

Pressing the 'T' key will bring up the network play console, or give it input focus if focus is lost. From this console, you may issue commands and chat. Input focus to the console will be lost whenever the Enter/Return key is pressed. The 'Escape' key(by default, shares assignment with the exit key) will exit the console entirely. Whenever text or important information is received, the console will appear, but without input focus.
