Topic: Gamecube Homebrew coders have completed a program that allow any Gamecube game to go online

[Xenopathic Investigator]

Coders have created a program that makes any Gamecube game to go online.Fuzziqer and Biolizard have just completed it. The  program streams controller inputs over the Broadband adaptor and streams game state data that resyncs the game.They are testing it right now over the internet and they need beta testers. If you can help please contribute.

*Waits for KDR to completely debunk this*

this is a pretty neat idea, im surprised no one caught wind of it...if it works, it'll mean nothing in terms of nintendo's position and little for the general gaming public, but it still a nifty trick

There's no mention of game state syncing on that page. Where did you get that from (link to forum thread)? All that is listed are AR codes but those don't resync your game. Also I see lag causaing a major problem with direct RAM syncing.

Does it require data per game that tells it what's data, what's code and what's interesting or will it just attempt to keep roughly 24MB of RAM in sync all the time?

Super........Smash.........Bros. ONLINE?!

[KDR_11k]

If it really does gamestate syncing, yes. Though it might be less fun when there's lag involved.

[Don'tHate742]

Would less lag occur if it were one on one matches? Or basically, two cube's linked together, rather than 4 different ones?

Also: This means Multiplayer games only right? But, what about TOS?

[KDR_11k]

Can't answer that as I have little idea how it works but basically your Cube thinks these people are playing locally. In split screen you'd still see your opponent's views. All games should be able to work with it though I think there might be some data per game required to tell the system which memory areas to sync (don't need to sync geometry datas, textures, code, etc, just the variables).

[nemo_83]

I wonder if it would be possible to somehow mod it so one could play multiplayer coop on one player only games like Metroid Prime or Zelda WW?

[KDR_11k]

Well, that's impossible. There's a gigantic difference between simulating the actions of the other controllers and rewriting the game to support multiple players.

[Don'tHate742]

So basically your saying this option is pointless unless your playing non-split screen games. That's great, because I would of played Smash only, with a couple exceptions.

Co-op is possible then, huh? I don't mean Nemo's version of co-op, but rather Pikmin 2 or  TOS.

what they should do for the gamecubes future is make it where it plays dvds. also hooks up to the internet and beable to play games off that. that would really help gamecube. because i here people say they suck because of they dont have a dvd player. i made my gamecube perfect. i got all the adaperts i got broadband i got a ;cd screen and wireless controllers. and much more

Its impossible for gamecube to play DVDs. And the DVD features on PS2 and Xbox aren't that great anyways.
Online play for the gamecube is virtually obsolete but I suppose people still play PSO 1 - 3. And so you made your gamecube "perfect" go get your self a cookie for that. Also what is this "cd screen" your talking about?  

[IceCold]

Well, Gamecubeboy, they DID make a gamecube that could play DVDs. It was called the Panasonic Q, but it was only released in Japan. It looked pretty good as well.

Yeah the re-worked copy has a cell shaded super deformed master cheif instead of Link that says Tiku tiku tiku everytime instead of grunting. Also the re-worked copy is developed by Rareware.

Good job!

Don'tHate: If it works with multiple controllers and friends over it can work with this.
