Mario Kart DD LAN, and other tourneys we've organized

If I remember correctly, Dreamcast's Quake 3 or Unreal Tournament was playable over LAN. Might even have been compatible with the PC version.

 

I can't remember for Unreal, but I'm pretty sure that Quake 3 had cross-platform play with PC if you ran a specific patch on PC.

There are still people playing Quake 3 on DC online, and some servers still up.

 

Mario Kart Double Dash lan play, I remember playing playing that over the internet back in 2004 using Warp Pipe. It was just about playable with a 15kb/s upload, which is all I had back then. I think the absolute best was 30kb/s on some ADSL connections.

I got my GC BBA from Lik Sang as i dont think they were ever sold in the UK, if they we're I had never seen them anyway. Good times playing Mario Kart with a friend in London and another friend in the Netherlands.

I bet Mario Kart DD would play perfectly today over the internet, it's really awesome to see people setting lans up in public to play!

 

I'd LOVE to be able to play DD online. Let's get a community together!

 

I'd love to, but my GCs + BBAs are sleeping in a dark cellar across the ocean at the moment.

Although I guess I could buy one here plus a BBA, they aren't looking that bad in pricing considering everything else is going up like crazy lately.

 

have someone tried it with devolution on wii ?

BBA emulation was added to devolution in end of 2012

 

I wonder if PAL / NTSC / JPN copies can lan play with each other?

It would be nice to get a few games going, just really awkward across multiple time zones and the potential different regions of games.

I guess if it does work on devolution using a hack Wii / Wii U that would solve the potential region issue.

That would be interesting to try, especially if Devolution works on the Wii U's vWii (don't own an actual Wii, but have a Wii U).

 

it supports also vwii - but i didn't test it
