I'll have to recheck the manual and my box when I get home but I don't think that's the one. That I think was meant for internet (of course they may be one and the same). But don't forget, all of this will mean nothing without two decent sized televisions to play these on. A little computer monitor is hard for 4 people to see at once.

Any staff want to comment on our discussion please?

Setting up the GameCubes is just like doing computers. If you are doing only 2 you can do them directly using a crossover cable or if you want to do more you need a hub or switch to connect them to each other.

If needed and IF it can fit in the car with all my other CRAP errr important stuff.... I can bring mine, but I only have two controllers, but mine does have the network adapter. llDayo, you may be right you might only have the modem. I remember when I bought mine it was just the modem.

Speaking of switches I might bring mine along, that is if I can find it.

I'm pretty sure mine also has the network adapter but I'll try to remember to check when I get home tonight.

I can bring by my Xbox 360 if anyone is remotely interested. I have Quake 4, NFS: Most Wanted, and Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter for multiplayer although I think they are all only on system link or xbox live.

*checks the cases* Oops. NFS: Most Wanted is up to 2 split-screen and GRAW is up to 4 split-screen. I only have 2 wireless controllers however. I might haul along the sytem and leave it in the car anyways though. Ya know. Just in case... Just have to remember to get another ethernet cable unless the staff can wire me up to a network if necessary.

Yeh i'll have my game cube hooked to my tv tunar during the "open play" period running Super smash bros. if we have enough players i can set up in game brackets. Or maybe play on the big screen if lucky!

Krurath108 · « **Reply #27 on:** August 16, 2006, 09:52:09 PM »

*no skill required

I checked my gamecube last night and while I do have the ports available I forgot that there's pieces sold separately that connect into them :(
So I won't be bringing my cube up for Mariokart. If someone else has the necessary setup I'll gladly still bring the game so we can get 8 players going!

I have the game, you just want to bring two controllers?
