How to Play Gamecube Games Online

The Nintendo Gamecube, the console that preceded the Wii, was released to U.S. markets in 2001. Originally, Nintendo offered four games that had online content: "Homeland," "Phantasy Star Online Episode 1 &2," "Phantasy Star Online Episode 1 &2 Plus" and "Phantasy Star Online Episode 3 C.A.R.D. Revolution." Nintendo has since ended the online abilities of games. However, three games that offered LAN capabilities, "1080 Avalanche," "Kirby Air Ride" and "Mario Kart: Double Dash," are still played online using the Warp Pipe service. Though it is a third-party process, it is entirely legal.

      Snap your Gamecube broadband adapter onto the serial port underneath the console. Connect your Gamecube from its Ethernet port to your router or hub with an Ethernet cable, if applicable. Connect your Gamecube from its Ethernet port to your computer with a crossover cable if you do not have a hub or router. Consult Warp Pipe's extensive, router-specific guide if your router needs configuration.

Open the file once it finishes download to begin installation. Follow the instructions for the installer and be sure to leave the box for the WinPCap component checked, as it is vital for using the service.

      Open the Warp Pipe program on your computer. Use the connect button on the program to establish the connection between your console and the Internet. Go to the "File" menu to find other players, display your IP address or enable Auto Port Fowarding, the function that allows automatic configuring of the router and firewall. Use the main screen to check the status of your connection, ping and instruction on when to turn your Gamecube on to start playing. Consult Warp Pipe's Support guide for further questions.
