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

[lumune]

Same problem here. I did everything and now I finally found out the problem no one
mentions here. The problem is our connection's NAT type. It must be Type 2 or Type
1 for you to find the players. Type 3 won't work no matter how much ports you open,
enable DMZ or UPNP. It won't work.

Now that's new, i've only got one type of NAT. Never heard about this in Routers.

Hi, im trying to play tekken 6 online in coldbird but I don't see anyone in the lobby even when in the server status page shows that there are people there (myself included) I have DMZ enabled and firewall is not blocking anything relates with the emulator, any hints on what should I do?

When 2 players are in-battle on Tekken 6, they disappear from the Battle Lobby. Wait a while to see if someone shows up after the battle is over.

This usually happens when the player who picked up the quest didn't have DMZ enabled or is behind a firewall, blocking access.
Try joining another player's quest and see if you'll break out of it, if not, then:
1. The player who picked the quest has DMZ enabled.
2. You don't have DMZ enabled and it's required to play on coldbird.net.
3. If you do have DMZ enabled, then a firewall is blocking your emulator, hence why you won't be able to create any quests for others to join, due to blocked ports.

What happens is, without DMZ your emulator try to look for the other player on Port X only, since every other port will be blocked.
But the games listen to many different ports at the same time, sometimes it's even randomized, depending on the game.
So when the player who has DMZ enabled creates a quest, the game is actually listening to ALL ports (since it can be randomized), so the emulators will be able to find an open port (since everything is open due to DMZ) eventually and connect.
But not every game accepts this behaviour, DBZ Tenkaichi Tag Team for example won't even let you see players in the lobby without DMZ.
In short, to play on coldbird.net, enabling DMZ on our routers is required.

Hi, I have the same problem as hing4629. I can host quest and others mostly are able to join, even up to 3 people. However, I can never seem to join others who can host. I always got kicked and other stays.
Can anyone confirm that this is because ping variance issue between region? or is it my settings that can be fixed? I'm using 1.2.2 on ubuntu 14.04. Thanks.

I am playing mhp3 on coldbird. I can play with others successfully when i am hosting the quest. However, when i join others' quests, it will disconnect when entering the quest, what is the problem? (disconnect when showing the word " starting quest")
I am using PPSSPP 1.2.2, so i don't need to speed down when joining quests right?
Thanks for help!

Bros theres no wifi in a thetering hotspot and if you cannot see the other players there is 1 possibility
1. IS the other player dont have dmz on

[SergUkr]

Pls,help me!
I turned on the DMZ
And turned off protection,but I do not see the people in the lobby...
The coldbird site shows: I in lobby.
What could be the problem?

PS.
Should I install: For Monster Hunter games online ONLY!! (FIXES "GATHERING HALL IS FULL" BUG)?
(sorry for my English)

...

Can you please update this guide to use pro.coldbird.net instead of coldbird.net
I have plans to restrict prometheus traffic to that domain, however with everyone using coldbird.net as their connection point doing so would just cause mass confusion.

Would also like to note that we now have a discord for pro.coldbird.net
