We've been testing this for over a week now and we've pretty much figured it out. Reply here and I'll add you to the chat.
N64 Netplay instructions
1. Download simple64. All players must be running the same version, so just use the latest release.
2. Set up your controller (you can't change this while a game is running)
3. Make sure you have the right ROM. I always host with the USA version in big-endian (.z64) format unless otherwise specified. The emulator will tell you if your ROM doesn't match the host's.
This site will tell you the correct ROM hashes for any game.
4. Click Netplay, then Join Room. Select the Custom server, and enter marsey.minecraft.best. Then just join the room and select your ROM.
I host on my VPS because it's hosted in Dallas, which is fairly close to the center of the US. The official servers are in Virginia and Paris, so if you're a Eurocel you might have to use those instead.
Note: If you want to host a game with cheats, you have to enable them in the cheat menu. The only way to do that is to run the game, enable cheats, stop the game, then create a room. This is not necessary for joining a game with cheats.
Also, players can't join once the host has started the game.
Here are a few clips from one of our games.
I try to make @pm-me-manifestos lose all his money goombling so he can't buy a star, but my plan backfires spectacularly:
@Hohoshrexual rolls a 1 and ends up losing it all in the next 2 turns:
Literally right after this clip, @pm-me-manifestos wins this minigame by guessing blindly (1/27 chance):
The final result of this game
(@Hohoshrexual lost the rest of his coins in a battle game on the last turn and only got 1 back)
(@BasicallyADoxxer was playing as Daisy)

What games do you guys play anyway? Is there any live chat?
Multiplayer Goldeneye (or basically anything Rareware) or StarFox with Dramacels and VC sounds like a recipe for epic win
PS. What time do you guys usually play? I have a feeling that timezones are going to complicate things...

So far we have only played Mario Party 3, but we can play literally any N64 game. We've been playing at night (starting ~10 PM EST) but we haven't worked out a schedule yet.
There is a chat right here on rDrama, but I don't think chats can be made public, so anyone who wants in has to be added manually.

If you ever decide on an earlier time, be sure to message me. 10pm est is too late for me
