Rather, Dolphin (The emulator for Wii and Gamecube ) which now has system link support for Gamecube games. So you can now system link 2+ PCs together for Kirby Air Ride, Mario Kart: Double Dash or 1080 Avalanche. You can even go online in Phantasy Star Online.

Or you could link your PC with your actual GameCube. I find this amazing.

This is fucking awesome. I love how crazy emulators are. And Dolphin is basically the most amazing one at the moment.

How does going online in PSO work? I never played it, but I can't see how this LAN feature would get you any further than small scale co-op.

What I believe Dolphin officially supports in this stage is the GameCube's broadband adapter, which, while mostly used for the few LAN multiplayer-capable games Nintendo put out, was also used to connect to the Internet for the even fewer online multiplayer games that were released for the system. Phantasy Star Online also supported the conventional 56k adapter that I believe was significantly easier to find than the broadband one, but for obvious reasons, that's not particularly useful in this day and age. As for actually getting online with PSO, there are still private servers being run for I believe every version of the game except the original Xbox since that one relied on Xbox Live for its infrastructure. Different systems have different registration procedures, but basically once you get a confirmation email from the private server operator, you get DNS information and whatnot to input into the game's networking settings that enable it to connect to the private server and then, voila, you're online! I've never done it this way myself, but I'm also really excited by the broadband compatibility in Dolphin, so I'll likely check it out soon myself, especially since I think PSO2 access was cut off to non-Japanese residents soon after the beta.

@Pepsiman: This is why emulation is amazing for preservation. Just amaaaazing. Now to wait for Wii connection and Monster Hunter Tri servers. ^^

Thanks for the info! :D

Haha, this is awesome. I've been using Joybus recently to hook together two Visual Boy Advance emulators to Dolphin to play Four Swords Adventures with a friend, and it works like a charm (at a decent framerate too).

Your best bet is to check out this video. Here a person connects to a Schthack server for PSO on Dolphin.
