Online Adapter

[Rebel3000]

Where might I find a online adapter for my GC?

[AlexCraig]

Ebay, yahoo, online shops.

[AlexCraig]

Heh, you asked, I answered. :wacko:

[Rebel3000]

yeah... ty!

If I may post my opinion, I'm not really sure it's worth it. If you're up for paying 30-$40 dollars with about 10-15 of the remaining GCN community, then sure, go for it.

Of course, there are about another 5 or so who play v2/PC, but it's kinda buggy. Still works if you're desperate for other people though.

[pith]

They have them for sale for $25 at the EB right by my house...

[Ranmaru]

I would get one too, to see whats up. :)

[AlexCraig]

I'd say go for it. Yeah, there are fewer of us, but why should that matter? The fewer the people, the better you know the community, and the more stuff for you.

[furrypaws]

Eh, well. It's in the eye of the beholder I guess. If your characters aren't too high leveled and you wouldn't mind leveling again, I'd reccomend PSO:BB over it, but I know how attached you can get to your characters. It's more the fact that groups are very, very scarce. When you do find a good group, it's excellent fun. THat could take a while though.

[Ranmaru]

If I ever got a GC Adapter, I would join you. ;)

[AlexCraig]

I have one. And I am almost connected. I just need to do something with the router and voila.

All you need is a PC player as leader and suddenly your player numbers increase to include PC GC and DC. I have yet to have a day go by without playing with some one.

[Ranmaru]

Whats wrong with the Router? Sadly, now when I have a motive, I am in unemployment lol. Hopefully sometime I could join you in a game as well, it would be nice. :)

[AlexCraig]

I have no idea what the problem with the router is. Once I figure it out, though, I should be able to play. I got so far as being able to see the lobbies and hearing the music. But then I got a connection error.

Eh, seems like it should be simple to fix. I'll worry about it later.

I'm not going to be the first one to line up and play with a PC player. I'm not sure how good it is now, but I really do not want to risk FSOD, no matter what. If I absolutely can't find someone else to play with, then yeah, I'll play with a PC player, but I really feel the risk isn't worth the reward.

And besides, there are only like 5-10 other PC/DC players, so it doesn't rise that much...

Also, Alex. I have no idea what I'm talking about, but try unplugging the entire router, then plugging in the GC Broadband cable where the router used to be plugged in. It worked for me, so, who knows? It could work for you too.

[Ranmaru]

Well, if it worked once, maybe it can work again. I am sure you have tried many times though, so nevermind what I said lol.

I haven't had a problem but maybe I've just been lucky.

[AlexCraig]

I can't do that to the router.
1.) Dad's router.
2.) I am in the basement (my room). The router is upstairs (computer room).

Like I said, I'll worry about it later.

[DuRaL]

Alex, what is the error-message you're getting when you try to connect to the server?

error 101 and 102 for example usually mean that you've entered a wrong DNS-adress.
not all errors are necessarily caused by your router, you may have done a mistake at the provider-settings.

when you see the lobby-screen, it usually means that your gamecube is connected to the internet but can't find a server..

[AlexCraig]

I'm not entirely sure. It has been a while since I gave it a shot.
I actually had a mod from over there help me get connected. So Idaknow.

[Ranmaru]

As of now, do you still pay for a hunter's liscense and what not?

[AlexCraig]

Nope.

[Ranmaru]

Awesome!! :) That is good to know. Is the Adapter the only investment I would need, besides obviously an internet connection, which is very obvious because I am online now, lol. xD

Err I'm not sure because you are asking but you did know the official ST servers are down right?

[Ranmaru]

Yes, I wasn't really sure if you could still get online with GC or not, but I guess the only way may be BB, huh?

[AlexCraig]

There are private servers for GC. You can still get online. The only official ST server that is on is JPBB.

[Ranmaru]

Good, I am glad. Thank you for clearing that up. :)

[DuRaL]

be sure to buy either a keyboard for GC or a keyboard-adapter to use your PC-keyboard on your gamecube!

believe me, PSO online is no fun if you can't chat..

i payed like 50$ for BBA and keyboard-adapter, but that was.. 4(?) years ago

[furrypaws]

I get by decently without one...it just takes forever to type. If you have a computer with internet access nearby, it's no problem.

For me, at least, since I generally only play with friends, but I think that might only be me. If you're playing with strangers, it's going to be difficult to type, I tell you that. Difficult, not impossible. Just make sure you're not in harm's way when you type.

[Ranmaru]

Hmm, I see. Definetly on my to buy list. ^^
