Netplay should be working

Research direction
Start by reproducing the crash on Wii U with RetroArch 1.14.0, trying both hosting and joining a Netplay session, and inspect the error shown in the attached image. Compare the behavior with an older version where Netplay worked; done means neither Netplay action crashes or produces the reported black screen.
