| '''Dolphin Netplay''' or '''Netplay''' for short is an emulation of [[Melee]] with hacks that allow it to be played by two players over an internet connection. It also functions as a [[GameCube]] and [[Wii]] emulator. By using the associated IRC, players can host a private game and exchange generated codes, which connect them to a friend. Four player games are also possible.

| Old issues included desyncing and crashing, much of which has been fixed in its current release. Desyncs no longer occur when playing Pikachu or when 'flash on L-Cancel' hacks are enabled. In addition to the increases in performance, the online community players has grown greatly, with professionals like {{Sm|Kage}} playing occasionally. The matchmaking IRC has shown steady increase in membership following [[Apex 2014]].

| To use the traditional gamecube controller, a Raphnet or Mayflash USB-GC adaptor are needed. The Raphnet one has a slight advantage over the Mayflash in input delay, but is more expensive and does not come with 2 ports. When properly configured, local Dolphin emulations of melee are comparable to a 2ms screen delay.

| Some critics of Netplay complain that the online lag makes it unplayable compared to a [[Gamecube]] with CRT television. There are several ways to minimize the collective lag. A good internet connection and computer are needed, and playing players geographically closer can improve quality greatly. Following the rule of 1buffer=17ms of ping will be effective as well.
