Dolphin handles latency in a very unique way: the pad buffer doesn't directly control the number of frames of lag. To find the best setting, start with a high setting and then turn down the pad buffer until the game starts slowing down. The best time to do this is during low taxing areas, such as menus or character select screens, since you're less likely to get slowdown from a computer. Be sure that all computers are able to run the section of the game at fullspeed when adjusting the pad buffer. | Dolphin handles latency in a very unique way: the pad buffer doesn't directly control the number of frames of lag.

Then put the controller you want them to control underneath the pad their controller is configured for. This can be done for multiple people connected to the server. | To set multiple players on one computer, highlight the player that will have multiple controllers and hit "Configure Pads".
