Is it possible to do Local Wireless Multiplayer with MelonDS? If so, how would i do that? Would i require 2 MelonDS on the same pc or (what i want) can my friend use his Laptop With MelonDS and connect together?

Yes, you can connect by using 2 melonds' on the same pc or 2 melonds' on different PCs on LAN. You can also try using hamachi, but that method isn't reliable due to high latency between players apparently.

How would i allow these 2 MelonDS to connect? is there an option in config for "Wireless lan Connection" or something?

You have to run both instaces of the emulator on admin mode, then go to config → Wifi settings and then it should appear this:

here you select the network card that you'll use for the communication. Just remember to enable direct mode.

For local play you just need to enable "bind socket to any address" i think to have it work on the same PC.
You could connect using online multiplayer instead but your friend got a laptop and that uses wifi mostly (you need ethernet).

And how would my friend join my "Direct Mode" or my "bind socket to any adress"? I remember with the game Dragon Quest IX, You can connect to each other with local wireless thingy, and sinse in a previous comment hamachi was mentioned. i wanted to try it with hamachi but how would i do that? Just create a hamachi server, add him to it and then get each other to connect through the games connect method or?

You can try using hamachi, for that both of you will only need to select hamachi adapter(once its installed) on the melonds' wifi settings. Be warned that the latency will be probably high and it might not work because of that.

Hello. I cannot open a wireless connection for Soma Bringer using any of the Wi-Fi settings for melon DS I also tried to use the Hamachi application however it will not establish a link to the secondary Melon DS emulator yes I have adjusted the
DNS to match the one that functions as of Today 178.62.43.212 (Pokemon link) the link channels and links successfully. what should I try to do next? By the way on the emulator the connection will let us see each others profile and join each others lobby. but not establish a link. shortly after the message displayed says. "Connection lost"

I think using the random socket lets me see The second player. But the moment you connect - connection fails with error. No combination of audio sync/v-sync/frame limiter on both clients does any help. This happens even if i play 2 clients on the same computer

Before attempting multiplayer, you should be aware of few things:

1st - Local Wireless is different the Wi-Fi Club. Local Wireless works indifferently to your internet connection (except if you are using Hamachi or such). Settings like DNS do not matter in this type of link. Make sure to enable both "bind socket to any address" and enable "Mac Address randomization".

2nd - Not every game is working right now. Local Wireless is still a Work-in-progress feature, and due to the fact that parts of it are not yet implemented, some games will always fail.

3rd - Hamachi is a solution that is only needed if you want to play with someone away from you. Also, due to the high ping, the connection will likely fail due to the tight ping requirements of the DS.
