How to connect several Gamecubes at once?

For the LAN games like Mario Kart, could it work on a Wii? That might be a way for people to get around the BBA requirement.

I've never tried it, but I've been told it doesn't work. The Wii's MIOS for GameCube games doesn't tell the system how to connect to WiFi or use a USB port for a USB Ethernet adapter.

I looked into this once, and my understanding is -- NO, because a Wii in GameCube mode is just a GameCube looking for a GameCube BBA. It doesn't know how to use any of the Wii's hardware.

Ahh, that make sense. In any case, I do have a BBA so I'll be willing to try an online MKDD session.

Thanks for the info. I will have to try to get the internet connection working. I haven't used my wall outlet in my media center yet since I've been using wireless (wii/PS3). I'll try to work on it in the next week or 2.

I would definitely be down for this. Hopefully we can get a few other people interested in it as well. I believe its better if we organize a time, that way we can all play with one another.

I might be interested. I'll have to move a small TV, but I've got MK:DD, Air Ride, and a BBA.

There is also a gc homebrew program that supports playing a few games online by sending controller inputs over the internet. http://www.fuzziqersoftware.com/projects.php The site also has pc tools for setting up PSO servers it seems.

I have no idea how well that stuff works.
