Well,this was mencioned before,but the topic got deleted.
For all of you MK: DD and GC LAN games,here's a must for you:
http://www.warppipe.com/wpdocs/beta/gettingstarted.html
With this software,you can play online with lan games(And
FREE)!
So if you already have your GC set to play PSO,all you have to do is use the software and conect to a server.
Bear in mind,this is only a beta version,the version 1.0 will be released early this year(Q1?).
In their forums,you can read a list of features to be expected in 1.0 .
What do you think?
Itd be great if you really can play Mario Kart: Double Dash! online with practically anyone else in the world! If it works....dam!
I wonder how popular its been so far...
I was going to get MM: DD and try this out... but noone I know can play like this so not much point =/
EDIT: Showing up as smiley
MM
D? I dont think it would be that easy to play online. Do u need a bba?
Yes. And I think it is. Just like setting up PSO I think. The information is just sent down the wire like the interent. The BBA's are only like network cards for PCs....
Apart from the fact that if you live quite far away from someone it lags a lot.
So no playing people from other countrys defently.
And you don't pick the characters from what I have heard.
You dont pick your characters?! Wotta put-off...
It dosn't go online foos. It LAN's so you can only hook it up to other GC's.
And what is a LAN? A collection of PCs (mainly). As I said, the adaptor is just like a network card. So why can't you plug it into a PC? And the screenshots seem to prove you otherwise....
I guess you can't choose your char, because it's not build as an online game. The other person has to choose your char for you. Then the information is sent over the internet and given to you. So I guess you had to organise the match before hand and tell the other person what char you want to play. That or wait for the full release client to come out which has a chat client built into it
Or just wait until 2/3 years time when the 'N5' comes out with another Mario Kart game that'll hopefully have online playability! And then find out its Broadband only and not play it online! lol Thats the way it'll work.....darn!
