Me and a friend (who lives miles away, but in the same country) would like to netplay a couple of NES games, but we are running out of options now. We've tried to use Kaillera which seems to be crap since there are no servers in our country + the ping on the servers there is quite bad. We both have a 6mb line, so that shouldn't be the issue, I guess. What other options do we have since Kaillera doesn't seem to work properly for us? I could've tried to setup my own Kaillera server, but I don't have any experience on that nor do I own a shell account... We did try to play on a Kaillera server where I had 80ms ping and he had 160ms... it was just way to annoying.

So, what other options does me and my friend have when it comes to play NES games over the net? If people are suggesting to setup a Hamachi-setup, then please help me. I've got NO clue how to setup a Hamachi to a NES netplay...

Also, which NES emulator is the most suited emulator for NES netplay? For now we've been using FCEUltra, Nesticle and recently JNes. We are both using Windows XP.

ANY help & suggstions would've been greatly appriciated!
