Well, all of the official servers were shut down a decade ago, so unless you know how to connect your Cube to private servers, you won't find anybody. But on the private servers? Shockingly large communities.
oh yeah, second party controller. so weird. made by mitsumi but then branded by two differant companies for the episode 1+2 and episode 3 variants.. both identical. just branded differant and colored differant. ascii being the one making the episode 1+2 model
I remember there being an online function for the Gamecube, but I forgot there was a peripheral to do so. Apparently, Nintendo was so worried about people using the Gamcube's online functionalities for piracy reasons that they effectively swept it under the rug. A real shame.
fun fact, theres more support for lan play than online play. like double dash, 1080 avalanche, kirby air ride, and in japan, homeland. using the ethernet adapter.. which wasnt mentioned.
What? Swept it under the rug? No, they didn't. It was the real early days of consoles going online and it simply wasn't big yet. Every console since has had online capability baked in. Where on earth do you get the idea that Nintendo swept it under the rug?
@@SobachkaPes how is that different than today? Now, you just pay every year to play online. Seems much cheaper to just pay a one time fee for a modem or broadband adapter.
@@dragonlash it was pretty rare, the system came with the modem installed and broadband internet *barely* existed at all in 1998. Like, DSL was the hot new technology and was barely available anywhere.

I remember there was also an ethernet adapter that plugged in the same port that modem adapter did. It would have worked for LAN parties with Mario Kart Double Dash on the GameCube and possibly a few other games.
There’s going to be a few confused kids who have no idea what a phone line is and even more poor souls that want to do this but can’t because they haven’t had a land line for a decade ( I’m the later )
@not your average imposter I never said they didn’t. Reread my comment guy. Kids don’t exactly work in an office or anything.They don’t typically go with their parents either. I was literally alive when people started ditching their landlines , I know about how much their used today in a typical HOUSEHOLD. Really doubt there’s anyone at work trying this. Especially given we’re in a pandemic and everyone who can work from home , is working from home.
Fun fact: there is a less common broadband(Ethernet) adapter, that works similarly, and Everyone knows ethernet. It's that yellow or gray cable that connects your pc to your router
Dude, no. Not "just like that." Ok, so you've plugged in the phone cord. The system won't do jack shit with it until you enter in your ISP details so the console can dial into the server, then log into your internet account. THEN you can get on with (very slow) online play. For "just like that" gameplay, you would need the broadband adapter and an Ethernet connection to your router.
I’ve seen your content and I’ve been watching for like half a month and it never struck me not once to subscribe until now so guess who is a new subscriber
Lol, I just saw a video of him talking about the empty spaces in these old consoles. Acting like there’s so much unnecessary space for “stashing things” but he goes and fills the entire space with an adapter in this video. So there’s clearly a good reason for so many open spaces.
I remember in the us there was like only one game I remember that had online for GameCube Kirby Air Ride but remember each of my friends had to bring over there GameCubes we had to link all of the GameCube together to hook up to the phone line
I remember online options back in the day like even on Tony hawk proskater 4 it gave u options to upload create a skaters it was pretty cool to see what we could do back in the day
Did the modem just work simply like that, or did you need to install software from the isp like AOL? I doubt it'd be able to connect to the internet that easily
Petey Pete um it worked pretty seamlessly. It would charge you the same amount as a phone call per min when using the online. Normal internet was like that back then in the UK. I had the broadband modem attachment however I never played this game online. I used the broadband attachment and a software called Warp Pipe back in the day to play Mario Kart Double Dash online.
There is also a Broadband Adaptor for the Gamecube, where you can plug in a Ethernet cable between your Gamecube and your Modem/Router and play online with speeds faster than Dial-Up!
Did you know that the game cube also had a broadband adapter, it was a 10/100 Mbits but games never fully use the 100 Mbits part of it, only the 10 Mbits. You can identify compatible games via a logo on the back of the game box, take a look at the Mario Kart Double Dash box... it’s even lan compatible, up to 8 local GameCube can play together!
This was Ethernet based. This guy in the video is just wrong. (He doesn’t actually know much, he uses basic information anyone in the retro gaming scene knows for quick views for his channel)
In the Background, there is my Beauty! My first Console i bought with my own Money on September 1993! The Game Super Mario World was included, many others were following! I had the European Version...
Gamecube Phantasy Star Online was actually the first time I played an online console game, and only the 5th graphical online game I played in general. Before that, I’d played Warcraft 3, Everquest, some random multiplayer word game, and some awesome free 2D competitive multiplayer spaceship combat game that controlled sort of like Asteroids that I can never remember the name of. Edit: SubSpace was the name. All of those games were mind blowing to me at the time. I’d seen my Dad and uncle doing asynchronous multiplayer before, but playing a game with other people across long distances in real time just felt like magic back then. I had experienced it with MUDs, but that extra layer of familiarity of an actual video game really changed things.
That’s why Nintendo hasn’t released game cube switch online because it would only improve the quality of online play, and people would probably still play on the dolphin emulator for widescreen support. (assuming Nintendo doesn’t do that themselves).
Did you know the gamecube's memory card is a resized standard SD card? that is how hackers were able to dump the games in the beginning. Just solder a standard SD card adapter in place of the memory card. It's all say a handy way to back up your saves permanently to your computer or upload them to a cloud.
Cool! Imagine playing any other games online, like Rogue Squadron 3, and Super Smash Bros Melee. I know we can do that now, but imagine doing it back in the early 2000s!
Imagine finding someone in a online game in the game cube in 2020
I will say there was alot more than expected and now I will proceed to update a gamecube to be able to play Cod cold war
@@TropicSpoon lol bet

Now you gotta talk about the only gamecube controller that had a full-sized QWERTY keyboard
i had one of those when i used to play pso
oh yeah, second party controller. so weird. made by mitsumi but then branded by two differant companies for the episode 1+2 and episode 3 variants.. both identical. just branded differant and colored differant. ascii being the one making the episode 1+2 model
No
I wonder if its useful for Animal Crossing, or if that game even has any support for a keyboard at all
@@wesleyesq7306 you could try, but it was made for PSO

Nintendo's absolute obsession with piracy is so self-defeating its not even funny.

“That’s what the ports on the bottom are for”
1 week later/previously, not sure
“What do you do with these compartments?!”
I knew it was the same guy.
I just know one of them was for the gameboy player accessory
“Play your games online” yeah, all one of them... the other 3 simply having LAN connectivity...
Well...technically, there were 3 PSO games, and in Japan(where his orange gc is from, most likely) there was another rpg and a baseball game
@@ubergamer0198 double dash had lan mode
@@madridpawmot Yeah 1080 avalanche and Kirby Air ride too.
There was also a broadband adaptor that let you plug an ethernet cable in, similar to the adaptor for the Dreamcast. Kinda neat
I still have the broadband adapter. I wonder if there is any use for it in the modding community.
I love how the gamecube and gameboy had little accessories to go with them. Seems like fun
And supposed to pump a lot of money out of you.
@@SobachkaPes how is that different than today? Now, you just pay every year to play online. Seems much cheaper to just pay a one time fee for a modem or broadband adapter.
The Dreamcast had it before GameCube, it's the reason phantasy star online even existed, the Dreamcast modem
And like the Dreamcast, there are both modem and broadband adapters available.
@@ProjectDv2 wow I didn't know about the broadband
Cool!
@@dragonlash it was pretty rare, the system came with the modem installed and broadband internet *barely* existed at all in 1998. Like, DSL was the hot new technology and was barely available anywhere.

Oh I’ve missed the game cube this just brings back the feels
He forgot how to talk like a human without 50cuts
he cut out the parts when he was grabbing stuff

This is why everyone loves the game cube
Why everyone _should_ love the gamecube
They don’t :/
I love the gamecube for nostalgia as I kinda grew up with it and the xbox 360
Someone is gunna end up running red dead 2 in a GameCube shell soon XD

It was, once upon a time. But the kiddies, ah, they just don't know.
I had a GameCube growing up and never knew this
It also had a broadband adapter. The modem is mostly useless in 2020, but the broadband adapter might still be useful for homebrew
The gamecube really did try to be incredibly inventive.

You lost half the generation with phone cord....
Yeah the youngsters but people my age (20) dealt with dial up
Now I wait till someone else did the same...I'll wait patiently
My friend had all the attatchments so i actually knew about this! It blew my mind! I was like Josh Peck going poggers over the game sphere
next thing we know, the GameCube toasts bread as well
Basically Anyone who's remotely interested in gamecubes know this
I think most people who come here haven't played game cube
There’s going to be a few confused kids who have no idea what a phone line is and even more poor souls that want to do this but can’t because they haven’t had a land line for a decade
( I’m the later )

Aw I was hoping you'd show the game online. You can still get online and into public, unofficial servers with a modem adaptor.
I love me some PSO.
Ive always wondered what that was for thank you so much
Dreamcast also had online built in I'm pretty sure
I did this when I was a kid my mom and dad got mad kus the phone bill was too much lol good memories
Seeing these videos on my feed is always such a treat keep up the good content :)
This guy can build the ultimate GameCube
Those times are the greatest.. Cuz like these were made.. I love classic game consoles
It's pretty common knowledge as far as myself and the gaming community in general.
those satisfying sounds of attaching them
There was a broadband adapter too for cable internet users as well
I like the sound of that modem fitting into the cube.
The click of that modem adapter was super satisfying
I remember those ports I used to transfer games from colosseum to Emerald and from there gen 4 and 5 man those were the times
I will not be surprised if someone found a nuclear reactor attachment on the game cube by now...
Game cube was way ahead of its time. One of the best consoles by far

There is also a Broadband Adaptor for the Gamecube, where you can plug in a Ethernet cable between your Gamecube and your Modem/Router and play online with speeds faster than Dial-Up!

Actually you would use the broadband adapter since dial up even in 2003 wasn’t the standard anymore!
I swear the GameCube could do anything
There are legit people going "What's a phone cord?"
I guess you can't blame them since people use cell phone instead of land line nowadays
It hurt me when I thought ‘Ethernet’ and he said ‘phone chord’
This was Ethernet based. This guy in the video is just wrong.
