"* Gamecube online - You can do it *"

I was thinking to myself the other day, why can’t you plug the Nintendo broadband adapter into your network card, and connect to somebody else’s Gamecube somewhere else, at the other side of the world?

[Cube]---Broadband-adapter--{Ethernet cable}----(network card){computer}----> (HOST) <----{computer}{network card)----{Ethernet cable}--Broadband-adapter---[Cube]

Thinking back, I realized that this had been done on LAN enabled Xbox games, that didn’t utilize Xbox Live - One Example is Halo.

So I decided to search the net, for Cube-online. Hello and behold I found Warppipe.com [URL]http://www.warppipe.com/[/URL]

Warppipe.com is the host in my diagram above, although I haven’t tried it yet, I’m starting to get giddy. Currently warppipe supports Mario Kart, Kirby Air ride, and 1080. - But you can expect so see all the LAN enabled games coming to warppipe soon.

Has anybody else encountered this, and will anybody give it a go, when they start making Broadband adapters for PSO III ?

Only to buy the games and broadband adapter.

Doe sit cost money to send the GC online?

When people buy X-Boxes, Microsoft are minimising their losses, however if no-one bought X-Boxes at all then Microsoft wouldn't make them, so they would lose nothing. So yea I see where you're coming from.

Suckers, sorry, "people" who buy Xboxes are lessening the amount Microsoft spends. More people buying = less need to advertise = less money spent, and also on average less money lost per Xbox.

Microsoft lose money on every Xbox made and sold at its current price.

I expect that you're effectively losing them money when you buy an Xbox.

Microsoft is spending money.

You're giving him money.

How are you taking away his money? Foo. :)

To be honest, Microsoft's gaming sector recording record breaking losses, so i'm more about taking his money. We're talking billions here unless i'm mistaken.

Meh, go fill Gatesy's pockets some more :P

Maybe so, but I can live with that, you must know that some of the Live offerings Xbox has are splendid, and whilst recently my "Box of X-ness" has had the most attention from me, 'Cube is where my heart is (eg. Overall it has had more use).
