Mario Kart Double Dash LAN game

[Xerus]

Alright, how do I go about hooking two gamecubes together for 8 player mario kart double dash? My friend and I both have the broad band adapters for gamecube, and we supposively bought this cable from Gamestop that the guy behind the counter said was 100% sure to work. So, a couple hours later when it comes time to hook everything up.... both the gamecubes cant establish the LAN link. So, what the hell...? Is it the cable thats wrong? Because the guy sold it to us, and it says "FOR PLAYSTATION 2" on the box, so I specifically asked him "Will this connect two gamecubes together?" because you need cross cable for that, and he said thats what it was...

So uh... I guess Im just wondering if anyone out there has sucessfully LANed double dash, and what did you use for it?

I assume that you are directly connecting the two gamecubes. For that, you would need a crossover cable. You could get one at a regular computer store. The cable you have might be a regular ethernet cable, ment for having the gamecube hooked up to a hub.

For a 1 on 1 LAN link to work, you'll need a cross cable.

Now you probably have a normal cable.

How to hookup 2 or more Gamecubes is all explained in the Mariokart Doubledash booklet.

Maybe you should take the booklet along to the store, and show them what you need.

both setups need the same TVmode to see each other.

So if one GC is setup for 60Hz and the other is 50Hz the Cubes won't hookup.

Set both to 50Hz or both to 60Hz.

Uh, how do you go about doing that?

That's only an issue in Europe, don't pay attention if you don't live in a PAL region.

NTSC is always 60hz :)

Alright. Well, the problem I have right now is the fact that I have no clue where I put my double dash instruction manual. Would it matter if the TVs are hooked into the gamecubes differently? We had one gamecube plugged into my TV using the yellow and white wires there, and my friend's gamecube was in his TV through the back using the cable passthrough plugin.

worked fine for me O.o tv's and gc's were in different rooms all i didnt was take out one of my network cables that i don't use stick it into both of them and selec lan-mode in the game menu and all went fine from there!

NEVER EVER trust ANYONE from Gamestop... they are ALL a bunch of complete IDIOTS and will say ANYTHING to get you to buy something

:yes:

[Xerus]

Bah... well I guess I'll have to try to get my money back, because my friend has a crossover cable I can use...
