I've been trying to set up network play with my brother (also an RBI addict), but with no luck. I've read the FAQ, and searched the RBI Online forums, but haven't found an answer yet. Any help is much appreciated. Here is the issue:
We can both log on to the network, and whoever is Player 1 can always select their team, but Player 2's controls don't work on the Team Select screen, so we can never start a game. It doesn't matter who is Player 1 or Player 2 -- Player 2's controls never work.
Any ideas? All suggestions are appreciated.
Wild guess: maybe player 2 is using the wrong controller. If you're using the same controller that you would use for a 1-player game, it may be that the emulator is thinking that you're trying to input for player 1. You may want to go into the options menu and set up your controller to be used for player 2 instead, or use your second controller if you have two.

Sounds like the same thing that was happening to me when I first started out.
See if this helps:

Also make sure you are both using the same ROM
We are definitely using the same ROM, and the same version of FCE Ultra (0.98.10).
BeefMaster - how would I change the controller? I've gone to Config / Input and configured the player 2 controller for my keyboard, but without any luck.
Does it matter that we are both using our keyboards? I ordered a RetroPad, but it has yet to arrive.
I'm dying to destroy my brother at RBI, just like the old days. Thanks for the help.
I am not sure the controller thing matters.
Whenever I have played online, both of us always just use the same configuration that we would use if we were both playing a 1 player game (online or not).
Are you both using the same server?
What server are you using?
We've tried multiple servers, including dee-nee.com, potatoes.dee-nee.com, and starmen.net, all with the same results.
I've also tried it with PAL Emulation on and off, just to see if that made a difference, which it didn't.
try jnes and kaillera.
I got JNES up and running, but I'm not familiar with Kaillera. Will any Kaillera server run RBI, or is there a particular server I need to connect to?
Also, is it possible to coordinate with specific friends to play RBI over Kaillera, and if so, how do you make that happen?
Thanks
any server will run any game (to my knowedge). the best servers are emulinker servers.
when in a server, choose "create new game" in the bottom left corner of the client. it should be simple from there.
I'm totally lost on how to play online. Could someone please direct me to the easy button. I've downloaded what is needed to play online, but it won't open when i click on the icon.
