What is the point of GC Broadband adaptor?

[Kilik Kurosawa]

How many games use this or will use it? Is there anything special? I just wondered because I never saw one before today and thought about picking it up but what for?

[richmond]

Phantasy Star Online, and Double Dash via warp pipe etc..

[Sylentwulf]

To play all you h4x0r3d games on of course!

I don't think that method works too well though, nor do I know what it consists of or how to do it, heh.

Yu can use it to go online with PSO ver 1&2, and PSO III. You can also make a LAN for games like 1080, Kirby's Air Ride, and Mario Kart. If you get a program on your PC called warppipe, you can also go online with those games.

Right, it's the only way to play hacked, pirated copies of GCN games. That's one of the reasons it's not in the stores any more.

well I saw two today at EB. $34.99 is too much for something I wouldn't use though

Actually, it was the only way to play hacked, pirated copies of GCN games. There are now modchips available for the Gamecube, and yes, they work.

Anyone picking up a GCN BBA simply for the piracy aspect will be sorely disappointed.

Actually there is the Viper chip which boots DVD-R and mini DVD-R's on the Gamecube so you might be seeing more BBA's floating around soon.

*Damn, Flack beat me too it.
