| '''PROS''' ||
*Support for up to 4 simultaneous people playing
*No fiddling with router settings and port forwarding
*Despite being old, many consider it being able to handle Kaillera the best
*Netplay traffic is handled by a central dedicated server that helps keep things synched
*Robust library of games
*Extremely configurable
*Private game chat support and public chat to speak people outside your game room
*Being able to drop out of a game at any time without disrupting (much) your teammate(s).
*Kicking/banning/muting people from your room
*It's a matchmaking service where you can join other people's rooms, too
|-
| '''CONS''' ||
*It's slightly (significantly still) prone to freezing
*Mapping controllers and binding keys can only be done in-game, which might be confusing to first-timers
*Incorrectly emulates many games, while outright not being able to emulate others
*Random, inconsistent FPS drops due to the server trying to keep everyone synched, sometimes stuttering. It's annoying, but rarely does it make it unplayable
*Everyone needs to have the exact same ROM version or Netplay won't work (if it somehow does, it'll desynch rather quickly)
*Everyone needs to have the exact same save file, or no save file at all. Else, it desynchs
*You need to constantly switch focus back and forth between chat and emulator window in order to chat.
*You will hear no sound while the window is unfocused.

#Replace the kailleraclient.dll inside the "kaillera" folder in the emulator directory
#Place your game(s) ZIPPED inside the "roms" folder in the emulator directory
#Run the emulator, then press F5 to refresh your ROM list
#Go to file, click Kaillera Netplay...
In order to configure your controllers, you need to press TAB once the game is running. Clear every key for Player 1 using "Esc", and only map the directional buttons, and buttons number 1 through 8, which should cover most standard games.
You may also chat in-game by pressing Home twice.
Also, you have to restart the emulator EVERY TIME you load a new game, or attempt to restart the current one. Else, you'll get a black screen.
