Netplay on 1.42 sometimes has differing screens

The netplay on 1.42 sometimes has differing screens for each player. ie- we'd be playing Tiny Toons and the scores would show differently for each of our screens. We'd play Ninja Turtles and it'd say that it was game over for one of us at a point, but we were still playing- just solo. I know that there are more recent versions, but is there any fix for this? Any ideas??

This is also known as desyncing.

Netplay was removed prior to 1.50 for this very reason.. as soon as the new core is put in place (which will be a long task to begin with), then netplay will be readded and rewritten. Until then, there is no fix.

Thanks.. is there any way to lessen desyncing by configuration in 1.42?

Try different versions of ZSNES instead... 1.36, 1.42n... try UDP instead of TCP (or vice versa). There is no real "solution", sorry.

1.36 is the last stable version of netplay. Use that if all else fails...
