I'm trying to use local multiplayer on 2 different pcs to trade and battle with my friend, but every time we interact in the union room it just gives a communication error.

We have tried disabling audio sync + framerate limit, indirect and direct mode, enabling "bind socket to any address" and "randomize MAC address" and using the WiFi room instead but we always either couldn't find each other or it would give this error. We tried using pictochat to test the wifi and we can join each other's room but it immediately disconnects afterwards. My internet is perfectly stable but it feels likes something to do with it is causing issues, any ideas?

Local communication over the internet is impossible, I suggest you try Wi-Fi instead with the following tutorial: https://melonds.kuribo64.net/board/thread.php?id=285

We did manage to get it to work using this method before, we could see each other in the WiFi room but whenever we tried to accept a battle it would just freeze and disconnect.

I have a theory, try using melonDS direct mode instead. To do that download npcap on this link https://nmap.org/npcap/ and install it. After that open melonDS on admin mode and then go to config > wifi settings > direct mode and then select the ethernet adapter you use to connect to the internet. Once it's done, try again. You both should do that.

I already tried that and unfortunately it did the same thing :(

"AltWFC: 172.104.88.237"
When i press to test connection on indirect mode it is successful but not on direct if that matters

Try using Kaeru WFC (178.62.43.212) instead, AltWFC is know for being tricky.

Just tried it now, it still gives this error when we communicate in the union room https://i.imgur.com/Iowba6p.png

Err, that's the Wireless Union room. For WiFi, you should go to the underground room instead.
This one:

You also have to erase previous WFC config before entering a new DNS. As seen in the Extra Step of the WFC tutorial: https://melonds.kuribo64.net/board/thread.php?id=285

that's odd, i can go into it on one of the devices but not the other. The other is giving the error code that nintendo's services are discontinued even though they are both connected to the same DNS and both worked when i pressed test connection?

That's because you have to input the DNS again after erasing the previous WFC config.

OK we both can get in the room now, but whenever my friend accepts my request to battle it just gets stuck on this until it declines the invitation https://i.imgur.com/cdsiXHO.png

Ok, now direct mode should work, try opening melonDS in admin mode and selecting it.

Prolly it's either your router/ISP or his router/ISP. But for that, we would need to narrow down the culprit. Try adding me 3785 5856 7891. Send me your friend code and I'll be available shortly after.
