Dolphin supports multiple bridge interfaces so you'll be able to bridge multiple Dolphin instances together on the same system. Dolphin on Linux currently supports up to 32 bridges and will attempt to connect to bridges labeled from Dolphin0 to Dolphin31 sequentially until one suceeds or they all fail to connect to. Be careful with this, since if you attempt to use multiple Dolphin instances using the same broadband MAC address then games will encounter issues. | |||
For an example of how to bridge two Dolphin instances together and have two games like Mario Kart: Double Dash play with each other. | |||
