Running all your game backups from a NAS is a killer feature. Being able to have resilient data backups of your games is important, and booting them remotely from the console is convenient. I would love to be able to do this on the wii.

[@CAMintmier]

There's one BIG con. You can't use an sd2sp2 with it. It's either you have an sd2sp2, or you have network. It would have been better for the project to use the sp1 port, where the original BBA/Modem would have went.

[@maciejkobus]

Just use front memory card slot adapter. They cost a few bucks and work exactly the same as SD2SP2. Supporting other ports is difficult because Swiss is running out of available memory.

Nice, what server do you play for online in PSO? I haven't used mine in years, but the broadband adapter still worked last time I used it. Would be nice to try it out again.

[@Rambling-Thomas]

@savagej4y241 Schtserv mostly, although I do swap around to others. That is the big advantage with Gamecube PSO. Your save file is offline on the memory card rather than stuck on a specific server.

[@NottJoeyOfficial]

In the future I would still love an official adapter, but that's not any time soon. $25 saves me about $100 on the adapter lol. There's just so many downsides to this one that make it not the be all end all of GameCube internet.

I used to play a ton of PSO offline back in the day, lot of 4 player co-op with friends, because there was no way I'd pay for the adapter + the official server subscription. Many years later found the adapter for about 50bucks, and have been planning to get my cube online. But alas, I keep procrastinating. This new adapter really brings hope people might start to become interested in populating fan servers, because what I've understood they're fairly desolate right now.

[@rc_matic]

Benefits over getting a Wii and modding it?

[@wryyyy]

@@rc_maticFor some it might be just nostalgia. GC might been "shortlived" in comparison of other systems of the generation, but for some people it might been a console that became something special for them, like being their first console. It's also purely a matter of taste, but personally think the GC looks way much better than the bland white block that the Wii is. Also any opportunity to avoid Wii's motion controls, even for just browsing the Wii menu, is a win.

[@CaptainGrimm24]

Great to see more love for the gamecube. Love to do some lan parties. The official adapter are too expensive.

I can only imagine what can be done with this and Slippi (Melee). There was a way to do online Melee in JP. but now I can see it come to reality with no emulation and with the benefit of slippi on console and CRTs. Excited for this project.

[@Treecko_2099]

This. I can finally play Slippi on a PVM without a need for changing out my graphics card or buying extra video adapters.

[@FyreWulff]

I don't think it's possible to have Slippi on GameCube, since there wouldn't be enough spare memory to hold the rollback states.

[@PERSONALEEMG]

@@FyreWulff I dont know anything about the tecnical terms of rollback, but the reason I made my comment is because I saw a video of "psychoticworm" titled "SSBM 2P Online battle 01" from 2006 playing Meleeonline, so seeing this video remindedme of this, hope it can be done by some programing magic. :)

[@FyreWulff]

No problem. The short version is for rollback you need to store copies of the match state in RAM. So every frame, the game is saving a snapshot of the RAM values used by the match. These snapshots are what is actually "rolled back" to when it needs to go back to a known good frame if it guesses wrong. This gets more complex the more variables there are in the match, and Melee is complex due to the fact that it has to track items, stage animations, etc. Modern games can account for this RAM usage, but on GameCube Melee is using pretty much all the RAM. So there's not enough space to put those previous frames to roll back to. Slippi can do it because you have to run it on a PC, and since the GameCube only had 24MB of RAM there's plenty of spare RAM on modern PCs to brute force saving frames to roll back to. @@PERSONALEEMG

[@Ikronix007]

@@FyreWulff It might be possible if we were able to use SLOT B for the memory card as a way for more RAM to hold those states without breaking the console.

[@kitterbug]

I kinda wish there was something similar for SP1. SP2 is already heavily used by homebrew projects, plus it makes more sense with the og broadband adapter using SP1.

[@Dragoonglue]

Why didn't they make the adaptor so that it connects to Serial Port 1 (like the official ones) instead of SP2? That way it could be easily used alongside the SD2SP2.

[@WJCTechyman]

Some people think that the SP1 could be utilized for an SSD when it's available.

[@romanantonacci4622]

Likely because webhdx is developing a m.2 loader in that port.

[@maciejkobus]

@@romanantonacci4622 That's true I'm working on M.2 adapter. However it's not true I made SP2 version just to make it future compatible with my adapter. Actually we chose SP2 because you can get SD2SP2 Pro and use SP2 breakout PCB to connect ENC28J60 driver with some wires. It's completely solderless option and if you already own SD2SP2 Pro you can just get ENC28J60 module to try it out.

[@PurpleHayesWA]

@@romanantonacci4622 I’m pumped for the M.2 loader to release

[@maciejkobus]

@@TheDOSGamer webhdx here. It's simply not true. There are some limitations in the software that prevents us from using Serial Port 1 for BBA emulation at the moment. Actually it was Extrems' idea to use Serial Port 2. I was totally fine designing the hardware for Serial Port 1 if he would have asked me for it. Keep in mind that the open source design that was meant to be cheap would be at least 2 times more expensive with Serial Port 1 due to complexity of the design to make it sit firmly in the slot.

[@TecraTube]

this is a helluva project/undertaking. unreal what these two guys have done between the hardware and software side of things

[@Home_Rowed]

There was also this old project known as GCARS that loaded in patches to allow a few more games to be played online on an actual GameCube, including Super Smash Bros Melee, Sonic Adventure 2 Battle, and Starfox Assault, Super Monkey Ball 2. I’ve never tried it myself, but I’ve seen videos of it seemingly working. Hopefully, those can be looked into and improved upon with fully modded versions and added in-game connection setup menus.

I was hoping Flippy drives would be for sale by now, so I could use them for the Gameboy Player at said convention. I Absolutely love the fact that people are still making Game Cubes relevant. And I just joined their discord looking to see if Swiss will work on the flippy drives, and yes! So the potential is awesome!

[@LotoTheHero]

I still have a broadband adapter that a friend got for me years ago before they got stupid expensive. It's really cool that there is a cost effective replacement now. I'm happy that more people will be able to play around with this and maybe the number of users will grow for PSO and whatever other cool things that can be done. :D

[@DarkBowser64]

Yeah, THE big con for me is that this uses Serial Port 2. Some people have DOL-001s that lack Serial Port 2, and DOL-101s pretty much all lack it completely. Meanwhile my SP1 is completely empty and unused, and I have no reason to put an M.2 Loader in there as I have a GC Loader HW2. I'd love a broadband adapter replacement that goes in SP1. I LOVE the concept of expanding GameCube with online support patches though. I could just imagine a sophisticated online matchmaking feature being added to Mario Kart: DD that matches MK Wii's (as opposed to direct connection), for example. Nintendont on the Wii is also capable of emulating the Broadband Adapter support using Wi-Fi, so the overall accessibility of GameCube Online should improve with time.

[@WedgeStratos]

Can attest, I have a DOL-001 silver Gamecube. Still have digital A/V but no SP2, so no SD cards there, and apparently no homebrew ethernet adapter. I'm doing the flippydrive ODE when it releases so I don't see a point in buying the M.2 loader either. Price point is fantastic, just need it to be available to *everyone* and not just the lucky ones with all the ports to fill.

I love these 3rd party products because they help breathe new life into otherwise lost features.

[@demonzero677]

Honestly speaking, it'd be pretty cool to get this working with the other serial port that the official adaptor used, just to give people more options with how they use Swiss. This would work great with the m.2 adaptor project, but a version that uses the other port for people with the set up like you have for booting Swiss. But the fact it works at all is awesome.

Hi Tito. Great video, it's nice to learn something new.

[@AceUndergeekBunny]

When I think we done everything with the Gamecube...someone just do a brand new mod that awesome ! And this one is a need one, like the GCvideo project ! The Price is great, it does what the real Broadband adapter do but with more "homebrewish" stuff, the only downside imo, it's this ETH2GC use the Serial Port 2 and not the Serial Port 1. So all user that use the SD2SP2 have to found another way to use Swiss. Maybe a Serial Port 1 version can be make later, and I suppose it's also because the community have better knowledge of how the Serial Port 2 work. After saw that, I thinking that a new Broadband adapter can be do for the Dreamcast as a replacement of the Original Broadband adapter that expensive to, but I think the projet need more stuff, to do incompatibility with games that only work with Modem and not with Broadband ! Great video ^_^ !

SP2 though. I'm lucky and got a broadband adapter back in the day when I got PSO, but SD2SP2 is how I save my Swiss settings. This isn't for me, but for people who have their GameCube set up similar to me, it's gonna be tough to swallow.

[@Roadkill_USA]

This can be used to have Swiss on in place of SD2SP2. I own one and it works just fine

[@NottJoeyOfficial]

I'm hoping someone comes up with one that doesn't leave an ugly box hanging off the side of the GameCube though. Even if it has to use SP2, I'm hoping for a version that routes the cables out of SP1's hole in the side of the console. That would be super nice, especially when the model that supports SD2SP2 in it comes out in the future.

[@hablasetacobell]

I'm not particularly confident in my own capabilities with soldering and modding and I'm kinda broke, so the fact that i have a newer revision of the DOL-001 which doesnt have the serial port necessary for this mod is a huge blow. Makes me feel like I wasted my time with this particular GameCube being modded, since the convenience of this mod for ripping my own games. I'll have to wait for the M.2 loader to be able to load Swiss and for this project to be able to be utilized via the memory card slot before I can get the whole thing working close to optimally, and even then, it'll look likely far less clean than an original DOL-001 with the full kit. I'm not mad at Extrems or WebHDX or anything here, i just didn't know what was going on with my own GameCube til my friend who did the modding for me showed me what was up with my model. To quote a great show, "That's rough, buddy."

I am really tempted to buy a GameCube again after seeing recent addons. I wonder why they didn't use the other port which wasn't occupied by the GameBoy Player but it is what is. Hope we get a new Dreamcast MODEM/LAN adapter too.

[@wirewizard5760]

I remember buying my broadband adapter at the end of the GCs life to play PSO online... Cost me £7 delivered. This aside, it's is nice to see someone make a cheaper alternative than the prices I've seen for the official one this day and age!

[@musicvideoenhancer]

In the pros and cons, I believe one con is that render your SD adapter useless, since you have to choose what you will plug in the slot. While you have options to fix the problem, it still requires you to buy more stuff for your GC.

[@sneakingelephant]

Hopefully with more broadband support it’ll make the modding scene push to make a double dash kart settings mod for LAN play(currently you are limited to the choices you can make in LAN mode compared to split screen)

[@cowboyluigi5275]

that patch already exists, it was featured in the video by kirbymimi. it’s not just an online mod, it also allows you to select your character and kart before races.

[@sneakingelephant]

@@cowboyluigi5275 sweeeet! Thanks for replying with that info. Gonna grab that modded version then. It’s been one of the biggest caveats playing LAN for me and my family. Thank youuuu

[@ricktifferpowers1762]

Now we need one for the Dreamcast!

[@sleuthyz]

Honestly, my first thought was gonna to be using a Teensy 4.1. Really cool project.

[@krzbrew]

This is just amasing!

[@Bigoukun]

Hello. First thank you for making and sharing another great video. Second, do you know if the new boardband "emulation" of Swiss work with the original boardband adapter? Because I'm one of the few luck people to own one. (And yes, it IS plugged into my GameCube.)

My neighbors name is Domingo Gonzales, Tito for short. Everytime I see a video of macho nacho, I remember my neighbor, and everytime I say hi to my neighbor, I remember this channel.😅😅😅

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Nice!!

[@chuckthetekkie]

The only reason I even bought the Broadband adapter (I was still using dial-up up until late 2008) was to hack the GameCube. I also bought a copy of Phantasy Star Online Ep I and II as it was need to hack the GameCube. I still have that same offical Broadband adapter and that game today. I got the adapter used from my local GameStop. I don't remember the actual price but it was less than $30.

[@Rabbitlord108]

The one con would be that you can't use the versions of this available right now & load Swiss via a microSD card at the same time. And even then there's a version with a microSD slot in the works so it's something that will be rectified in the future.

[@kaukospots]

Dang, I didn't realize the BBA was that expensive! I've had one for ages to netboot homenrew back in the day. We've come so far!

[@WJCTechyman]

Aw man, and I spent quite a bit of money on an official BBA over a year ago. Oh well, when the M.2 (or which ever variant of that interface they use) SSD mod comes out, I can at least use the SP2 port. Unfortunately, this doesn't work for DOL-101 units as there isn't an SP2 on them.

[@AppNasty]

Watching Macho Nacho Productions is pretty much therapeutic.

[@ReddRubble]

I think we need a new ultimate GameCube video

[@MATT_bauer]

This is awesome! Wonder if this could help bring retro achievements to the console? 🤔

[@vintageplayerss]

Top du top ! Merci Webhdx ! Yourthebest !

[@SuperFlashDriver]

Personally, what I would like to see in the near future is video game devs creating their own Gamecube dev kit, so this way they can make more indie/homebrew video games on the gamecube, much like the homebrew scene making fan games on 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th generation consoles (Atari VCS/2600 has some games from the homebrew scene that have been released on the actual console long after the Atari VCS console's been discontinued since 1988/1990.) That's what I would love to see someday without having to use Swiss and go through the headache of hardware modifying my consoles, which I don't have spare ones should something horrible happened.

[@BeansEnjoyer911]

I literally was just thinking about this today

[@nicedude22]

City mode online!!

[@C7Plague]

Can't wait to see if it will ever be compatible with the FlippyDrive!

[@TakumiJoyconBoyz]

My biggest con is that it doesn't look like a stock Gamecube anymore and I don't ever buy mods that change the aesthetic for my consoles. I wish they gave an option that would route the RJ45 plug through the broadband section of console so it doesn't ruin the aesthetics.

[@Pyroja]

This is super exciting and I definitely want it, but not being able to use it with SD2SP2 is a bit of a deal-breaker for now. Once I can get my hands on a FlippyDrive that won't be as big a deal, but I like the SD adapter and don't want to give it up for a network adapter.

[@NewGabeOrder]

I hope someone uses a Serial Port A version of the aftermarket GameCube BBA since that's the same port used as the official Nintendo one.

[@john005_]

I have not even watched the video yet, and I know that I want this product!!!

[@fraggle200]

this looks good and maybe price is the barrier but imo, a wifi BB adapter seems the next logical step.
