Use this when you need to connect to a multiplayer room for LDN functionality inside of Eden. This does not cover how to host a room, only joining existing ones.

Before You Begin

This guide will will try to explain things as clearly as possible, but make some assumptions about your environment and your familiarity with the operating system. Most notably, that you are familiar with the basic operations of your PC (how to download files, how to extract them, etc.)

<aside> 🚨

WARNING: These guides assume that you already have the necessary files (firmware, keys, games, etc.) to run the emulator. Neither the Eden Team nor Their Discord will assist you in obtaining these files. Asking for these files on the Discord may result in a ban from the server without support or chance to appeal.

Pre-Requisites

• Eden set up and functioning
• Multiplayer Options Configured in Eden Settings
• Network Access

Steps

There are 2 primary methods that you can use to connect to an existing room, depending on how the room is hosted.

• Joining a Public Lobby
  • This option allows you to view publicly hosted lobbies and join them easily. Use this option if you just want to join a room and play quickly.
• Directly Connecting to a Room
  • Use this option if the hosted room is not on the public lobby list (private, internal network only, etc.)

<aside> 💡

NOTE: Just because a lobby appears on the public lobby list, does not mean that the hoster has properly configured the necessary port forwarding/firewall rules to allow a connection. If you cannot connect to a lobby, move onto another entry as the issue is probably not on your end. Start looking at your environment if you are unable to connect to multiple/any lobbies.
