GameCube Online....Unofficially


Recommended Posts

I was hoping for this once they announced Mario Kart was playable over a LAN. Shouldn't take much to do seeing as the waters are tried and tested for Xbox LAN gaming online.

Umm... this makes no sense.

All that video is showing is two people playing over a LAN. Which you are supposed to be able to do anyway.

What does this have to do with online?

That race was done over the internet, there is no online mode in the game it self, online thing is done through a LAN hack.

silly_walk, Nintendo made some kind of deal with Gamespy in 2001 but nothing really ever came out of it.

Testing Complete, Specification Coming

After 5 days of testing, I am ready to publish my results. Tonight I was able to connect two GameCubes over a LAN thanks to my friend importing Kirby Air Ride.

You can view the video of our complete LAN race by clicking here.

What's next you say? Well, I created a project on sourceforge a few days ago. As soon as I publish my findings, the specification of the protocol Nintendo is using, and a few suggestions about what needs to be done to bridge two LANs together (a simple tunnel will not do), I will be aggressively recruiting developers.

Kirby Online?

Thanks to mj1108 from the IGN Cube boards, it looks like the Japanese might have figured out a solution to bring Kirby online. It runs at 3fps and requires two LAN cards and a crossover cable. I'll be keeping an eye on this.

It's been online officially since last year if you want to split hairs ;)

I've been following this tunneling project since it's begining, when it was just a topic on the IGN board. When he gets it working expect the first version or two to be *nix only, he's familiar with coding for it. Win32 will come later when he has help with porting it.

Can't wait to see how it turns out, I want to play Mario Kart online.
