From GAF:
Quote:Access Corp. LTD has announced that it will be making it's NetFront internet software available as middleware for the GameCube to publishers and developers very soon.
Access is alredy the internet middleware provider for Sega's Phantasy Star Online Episode 3: CARD Battle.
Access is also the company that provided Konami the internet middleware tools for its upcoming Power Pro Stadium 10 Japanese baseball game on the GameCube and PlayStation 2, which has downloadable rosters available for it on both versions.
Access has stated that besides the normal TCP/IP stack that is the most common protocall among all internet software, that their NetFront internet middleware tools for the GameCube will also have a format called AVE-TCP, which is IPv6 compatible; as well as a wireless protocoll known as WAP Wireless Profiled TCP, WAP 2.0.
Hopefully with the release of this news, more online capable games will become available for the GC in the future!
