[Tutorial] How to play on Black-seraph.com (formerly coldbird.net)

[Asferot]

Maybe if op actually updates it to pro.coldbird.net we'll see people in the rooms.

Sadly this forum is almost dead. Almost no one gives a rats tail about stuff here...

Too bad. I'm always late to the party with online experience.
Thanks for the heads up.

Coldbird.net and pro.colbird.net actually is pointing to same ip address. If the player connection still blocked by firewall, closed port and nat there is no possibility to see the player in the room. DMZ is necessary for communicate over Internet.

Many people can't enable or didnt understand how to enable DMZ thats why there is no one in the room. Some user also stuck with their isp that did not have DMZ feature (like behind a smartphone cellular data).

The only solution is implement port tunneling on ppsspp code or using VPN.

@indexftw you re not so late to the party with online experience 200 user still playing daily on my openvpn server. Average 15-30 player available every hours, if you want to join just search my thread.

I guess so. I remember checking pro status page and it had almost 100 players total.
What I am curious though is why I can't see anyone.
Upnp works and my router shows opened ports. Though port scanning always results in a time out. If I use advOR then I can see that ports are open but still no go. So what I did is run psp through tor and tried opening browser and checking ports, it didn't time out. So I went into tekken 6 and still no one.
Is this really alienated case and nothing can be done? Shouldn't have running through TOR network fixed everything? I also read that you can only play it through lan party(evolve etc.) but some people mention that it's playable through internet too. Confusing.

Cheers.

I've been trying to setup coldbird for weeks, tried getting support in discord servers but no answered me, so i decided to ask here instead, what do I input here? postimg.org/image/mux0fq6qn/00ed1a2b/
I Can only add numbers, also I'm playing on Android.

EDIT: It's apparently dead, as of 8 November 2018.

With coldbird no longer working, Gundam vs Gundam and Next Plus players have been using Hamachi to play instead. However seems like Gundam Rengou Vs Zaft Portable does not work the same. Does anyone have a solution to this?

[AkiraJkr]

coldbird.net is now black-seraph.com.

I've edited the main post to reflect the changes of coldbird.net to black-seraph.com.

So I should set the IP to "Black-seraph.com"?

Anyone know how to do that on the Switch? Can't open a keyboard, only have numbers.

What is DMZ? I don't have a router, I connect my pc to my mobile hotspot for data connectivity. Do I have to do anything differently?

When a second player (within the same network) connects to my game they get Socket Error 10054 and 10053.

Anyone knows the cause?

[AdamN]

What game?

Socket error 10054 usually occurred when connecting to Adhoc Server using an already existing IP address (ie. the IP is already used by other player),
other than that your firewall/network security might be blocking the connection.
