SOLVED: If you are using external BIOS/firmware files, the option to randomize MAC address is in Config > Firmware Settings. You will also need to check "Override settings from external firmware".


I have melonDS version 0.9.4 and I don't have an option to randomize MAC address in Wifi settings. Is this normal? Has the setting moved to a different menu?

I'm trying to get two instances to trade in Pokémon Platinum and Pearl. I've patched both ROMs with WfcPatcher1.6 (just in case).
Edit: I've gotten WFC to connect successfully by using unpatched ROMs on Kaeru's DNS, but still can't get two instances to see each other without randomizing the MAC address

The two instances won't see each other no matter what else I do. I've seen from other forums that this can happen if you don't randomize MAC address, but I don't see that option in 0.9.4. Is there another way to do this?

Post Edit: I hate that I only ever figure things out within an hour of making a post, but I hope this helps somebody. For reference, my problems were:
1.) I needed to go to Config > Firmware Settings to randomize MAC address (only on the second instance of melonDS)
2.) On my second copy of melonDS, my custom path settings AND my firmware files pointed to files within my first copy of melonDS, which I needed to update after copying.
I stayed in Indirect Mode with "Bind socket to any address" checked in Wifi settings and the connection worked.
