Game Cube Broadband Adapter - EZ & FunAug 21, 2006
By E. tejada

I bought the Gamecube broadband adapter in order to play Mario Kart DoubleDash in LAN mode. The unit was very easy to setup, just clipped it into the bottom of the Gamecube. With that I connected it to a second Gamecube using a crossover cable. The cable I used was the Xbox link cable, and it worked perfectly. Alternatively, you can use regular network cables and just connect the two Gamecubes to a router. It will accomplish the same thing. Once you start Mario Kart DD, you'll notice a LAN mode option not available prior to installing the Broadband adapter. Once you have both units connected, select LAN mode and let the two Gamecubes try to detect each other. Mine detected the other Game after the number 198 flashed on the screen (number of seconds I guess), so it took a while. LAN mode was a blast, hope you all enjoy it!

By Lawrence Neubauer
Hey, If you ever had a gamecube game such as Phantasy Star Online, or some other gamecube game with internet play, the Gamecube Broadband Adapter is the best way to go. After I got mine, just plugged it into the router and everything was working fine.

Does what it's supposed to do.Apr 10, 2007

The Gamecube Broadband Adaptor is simply an attachment for the GCN to hook up to a network/internet connection to allow multiplayer games to connect to the internet. It's extremely easy to connect to your GCN, easy to find the port to connect LAN cable, and then it's just a matter of playing your game and knowing how to connect abroad.
This adaptor is also able to be used in order to stream ISOs from your PC to be read from your GCN. It takes more than just the adaptor and a GCN, but this is what actually enables the network connectivity needed.

Outdated but Used to StreamJan 05, 2009
By Robert S. Bukowski
Not so much for playing but I stream gamecube games to my desktop computer and play them through an emulator unless my friends are over.
Sweet deal.

 Does what it's suppposed to do...Apr 26, 2008

As long as you buy the Gamecube Broadband Adapter knowing what you're getting, it's worth the price of admission. Basically though, aside from Mario Kart Double Dash in LAN mode and Phantasy Star Online (which is only playable now on private servers), you can't do very much with it. There is a program called Warpipe that allows you to play some other games online, but since that requires a PC outside of your Gamecube, that's not something most people will ever use it for. As it is, it does what it's supposed to do, and when it comes to hardware, you can't ask for much more than that.
