Pretty much the same deal as the xbox program.

Jive, this program takes LAN connectivity (connecting two gamecubes) and somehow puts it online. It is definate. AS long as teh game has LAN, which it does.

Oh hell yeah. this is gonna rule. my question is what other gamecube games are gonna be LAN compatible?


Sweet.. Now I just gotta get a BB adapter.

Hmm, my roommate uses a similar proxy program to play Halo online. The performance definitely leaves something to be desired, from what I saw.

How much does this program actually do, anyway? If it's just receiving broadcast packets from the GC, transmitting them to other connected nodes, and spitting out broadcasts at the other end, it probably wouldn't be too hard to write something like this in perl.

Of course, that would probably require forging the MAC address on outgoing packets. I'm not sure if the perl Net:: modules support that easily. Hmm...

These games will be online playable:
Mario kart dd
Kirby's air ride
1080 Avalanche
not confirmed yet but an almost fixed candidate: Starfox (yeahh!)
also not confirmed but to result of some ingame-pics it will use LAN too: Pikmin 2

People already test/play online Mario Kart DD and it works well with about 30fps......and this with the first(alpha) version of their "tunneling"-software.
U can be sure that this number(the 30 fps) will increase.


so get a bba and prepare to have LOTS OF FUN
