I was wondering when we'd start hearing more about this stuff.
I REALLY hate Nintendo for taking out LAN play from F-Zero GX. Those idiots.
Quote:Those people wondering if they should pick up a GameCube broadband adaptor for LAN enabled games, such as Kirby's Air Ride and Mario Kart Double Dash should think no longer. If the creators of the Warp Pipe Project have their way, then the reason to own a broadband adaptor should be an easy one.
The Warp Pipe Project is a project devoted to creating a tunneling software answer to get LAN enabled GameCube games to be able be played online. Think of it as the Gamecube's answer to XBConnect.
There's a few different avenues to see information on the Warp Pipe Project. Obviously, there's the main web site, but there is also the recently released specification on SourceForge, as well as the SourceForge project page.
We also reported a while back on GameSpy making middleware for getting the GameCube online. Reports are that GameSpy plans on releasing a version of their GameSpy Tunnel software that will work with the GameCube.
No matter which software Cubers use, there is little chance of it being a disappointment. Getting the GC online is something people should always be happy about.
