At long last I secured a Broadband Adapter for the Nintendo GameCube and today we're going to try it out in the one game that still works online for the system.

#Nintendo #GameCube
i absolutely love videos like this because i feel nostalgic about games i've never even played
Ikr, I feel the same even though I just got my GC a couple years ago.
For real man, awesome stuff.
You're the bald guy.
Right? I may not have played these but damn- it makes me relive my childhood and aaaa
Broo, where's your giant Gamecube machine?
I randomly logged onto PSO last night lol
(I am Kaitlyn)
I didn't know it was Spawn at the time but when I saw this video got posted, I realized that "wait a minute, that's me" when I got to that part of the video lol
For more context:
I got a LAN adapter for my wii and wanted to see if I could play PSO with it, so when I logged in I went to look at who was playing, saw someone named "Spawn" and was like "yeah i'll join let's see whats goin on wooo yeah"
i didnt have any idea it was spawn wave of course but I am so sorry for leaving randomly lol
it works surprisingly well in 2022 :)
The legend!
can confirm, we ended up playing mario kart somewhat after this i think. i should figure out how to import my pso stuff into my wiiu.
@@toxithot this is true
Let’s get this comment bumped up and try to get Jon to see it. Kaitlyn was the MVP of this video, and hold a special place in Spawn Wave lore
PSO is my personal favorite game of all time, legitimately put in 5k+ hours, which no other game ever came close to. The only reason I dropped the game was because my memory card got corrupted and had to be formatted, meaning I lost everything. It was my darkest day of gaming history...
Darn. Sorry to hear friend.
Holy shit man I would go crazy, that really fucking sucks man
F
I lost 800 hours on a PSO save due to corruption. Part of me died with that save.
Ah yes, the dreaded FSOD-X. Hit my first HUmar.
Thanks for the nostalgia. I spent a few hundred hours on SCHTHACK's server back in mid 2000s. The server even has crossplay between DC, PC, Xbox and GC. It is a project of love and passion and I met some really cool people in that time.
Man, those were the days..
So cool, wish I was able to play it too back in the day, but both the adapter and broadband were unaccessible for me in that time, still it brings a lot of nostalgia just to think about that time.
That's crazy, I never knew they did crossplay. Would've probably got a friend involved in that if I knew that. These days he definitelt doesn't have the time lol
Bro, I miss those days
1337 Joker squad. If you know you know.
I hate how Nintendo is so against emulation and private servers... just seeing these games with any players at all makes me know that it made someone really happy they could still play their favorite game again. And that's what gaming should be about, making players happy and letting them have fun! Not trying to exert so much control over them...
Everything is about money.
Nintendo would rather take it down so they can repackage and resell it to you.
I agree!
@@skycloud4802 If Nintendo did that with every game they had the rights to, I would actually be on their side in that situation, but until then, I'm on the side of emulation
Yep the new world order is all about controlling all your actions
Bros... break your adapters out, we're populating this server. Let's play some PSO
I love seeing really old online games still functioning. A couple months ago I acquired a PSP and Mega Man Powered Up. I was surprised to see the servers for that game are still up. I was able to download all the DLC and people are still uploading levels they made in the level maker mode. I want to make a few myself and contribute to keeping it alive.
Powered Up is such an underappreciated game in the franchise. If you like that, definitely get a copy of Maverick Hunter X if you can! I got a PSP back in the day just for those two games, and it was totally worth it.
@Blind Kid Source?
Yeah there is something fascinating about retro online games
@Blind Kid That did not age well when you consider Killzone...
Keep it alive g
It's not just amazing you can play online, the fact that you are playing with others is soooooo awesome!
….
It's also 4 player split screen on Xbox and Gamecube
If you were with me playing PSO online in the early 2000's on Dreamcast and then Gamecube, I salute you my fallen brothers.
;_;7
whats pso?
@@ninjedi6710 Phantasy Star Online, the game he's playing in this video.
I was stuck playing Phantasy Star *Offline*.
Put so many hours into PSO online on Dreamcast when I was young. Such a great experience and made a few friends too
Phantasy Star Online Online?
@@joechristo2 Yep, since it was playable offline ;)
You can play with a Gamecube, a modded Wii, Wii U and Dolphin. I play PSO on Schthack and the best times to play are on weekends at night.
You can expect a lot of people (25-30 or more) during those hours. Long live Phantasy Star Online and the Gamecube!
Can u play these games using RetroArch on consoles and online?
Bro, you have no idea how much PSO Meant to me. I'm actually trying to look into ways to revive it because it's sooooo Good. The grind, the drops, the whole system mags and all. NOTHING. Nothing but PSO episode 1&2. No game can compete with its concept and layout.
- (Joker Angelbaby)
Lol I've always wanted to try pso
Hi mati, it's Maggie ;]
I'd love to see a demonstration of LAN play with Kirby AirRide and Mario Kart Double Dash.
I remember there being some stupid game design limitations when playing LAN in Mario Kart. It was something like limited course selection or limited game modes but I can’t remember now.
@@Truedoogie I think it was random characters and random courses. I haven't seen it, though.
@@Dad_Shoes yes that was it! It was so stupid and upsetting to find that after going through the hassle we did of getting two copies on two GameCubes with two broadband adapters.
The randomness with 8 players was actually a good move, if not then everyone would rush to pick the babies/light characters first.
@@Dad_Shoes random characters yes. But not random tracks
I'm glad you're letting people know that PSO is still alive on private servers like Scthack and Sylverant. I'd say a lot of the players who play a lot often play on Wii or have the SD Card reader installed (there's some stuff in game that will prompt a read by changing areas a lot, it taxes the laser). Some of us use the ASCII controllers, some of us USB keyboards, some of us need dongles that work on PS/2 connections. It's a fascinating community of people who still love the game.
Don't forget the DreamcastLive community which is small but active on its own too.
I want to play online and have a wii and pso for game cube
the phantasy star Community is still pretty active. i moded my wii u a while ago and played an good amount PSO via emulation on it (online). thanks to the gamecube adapter you can even play it with the original gamepad.
You can play in Wii via I WiFi with keyboard and gamepad ;)
The Nintendo Gamecube was a great system.
Definitely but a failure in Nintendo eyes
22 million units sold. Ps2 destroyed its competition
Forreal! it's so cool! I never played on a Gamecube before, but it's okay! i'll get my hands on one soon! ❤️
@@michaelmyersplays4992 Sadly. It's such a good console. They must had doubted themselves so much...😭
I miss those days
@@michaelmyersplays4992 It doesn't matter if Nintendo managed to only sell 22 million gamecube units as it was still a great system.
would be a really awesome idea if a single player game like mario sunshine could only work if the gamecube was online. someone should think of that.
"Just get a 360 then 🙄"
@@zZFlaviusBoss or GT7
Or dolphin netplay
LMAO
Umm why? Not everyone had internet back then
I used to play on Schthack for PSO Blue Burst on the PC. I have the Broadband Adapter on my Gamecube, but never figured out how to connect online from it. But yeah, classic PSO servers are still VERY active these days and, at least for Blue Burst, can be very busy and bustling. This was a great watch!
I play it ocassionaly on my Wii, love PSO offline as me and my friends called it back in the day
Phantasy Star GameCube January Event population: 11
April Event population: dozens!
I played PSO sooo much with my friends back then. But that was just off line. One of the best things that this game offered was a way to carry your character on a memory card. My four friends and I would gather on the weekend, buy snacks and soda, and play the heck out of this game in splitscreen mode. Soooo nostalgic!
The population is more just you need to know when everyone else is online, this is usually done on discord.
I can confirm this, I played on Sylverant servers
The Gamecube we always have a special place in my heart 😁
Thanks for the nostalgia trip.
I never bothered with online play with the PS2 or GC. The Xbox was my first foray into online gaming spending tons of hours into Rainbow Six 3 and Ghost Recon 2.
remember the lean glitch prevented head shots in rainbow 6 3
I got the GameCube broadband adapter back in the day for free at Fry's electronics. It was because of a pricing error that they had in the store. Someone had listed the sale price of $20 as the regular price in store and next to that they listed the discount as $20 off.
They ended up giving it to me for free and taking down the signage.
Similiar story, I got one at ToysRus for $20 which was the listed price of the dial up Modem and they didn't have the broadband item price up, clerk had no idea and just punched in $20.
I used to play PSO back in the day so already have a Broadand adapter.. I even have a 56k one somewhere.
I logged into a private server in 2020.. and I was surprised to see others actually on. It was a good time gaming like it was 2003. I was probably the only one on an actual Gamecube.
Love you playing Phantasy Star Online for GameCube *actually online* in 2022, Jon! If you weren't so busy with other stuff, I'd love to see more gameplay of yours!
PSO on GameCube was awesome, always wished I could play online as a kid but had a blast playing 4 player split screen with my friends
If you're wanting to play the first Phantasy Star Online with people, your best bet is the Ephinea server on PC. Usually has at least 60 people online and lots of good stuff.
Yeah, but the problem I've had on there is that everyone is like level 90 or whatever and so its no fun because they just absolutely destroy all the opposition while you run behind them and share the XP. There is no fun to it unless you have friends willing to start at level 1 with you. Or if you are willing to grind to be on a similar level to other players. Which would take forever.
Because I bought the disc and have a homebrew Wii, I was able to dump the disc onto my Wii and launch the online with that. I had probably about as much trouble as you did with staying alive, but there were definitely people online. It's cool that there's such a community like this that still appreciates a game that might have been a little ahead of its time
I remember playing Phantasy Star Online, on the Dreamcast. Those were fun times. Plus my gamertag from back then. Lots of memories with PSO
I can connect to PSO on Wii U as well with Nintendont. So I’m guessing PSO is cross-compatible with GC, Wii, Wii U and Dolphin. And apparently Dreamcast?
Very cool! I love the idea of online communities hanging on! Reminds me of flipnote hatena on the DSi
PSO online was amazing on Dreamcast and it played good on dial-up. It had auto translate so I usually knew what people said. I'm surprised other games didn't do autotranslate
hmm wasn't real auto translate though. it was more like select dialog bubbles were translated between foreign players.
@@alexluvzfire3567 like mario kart wii
@@alexluvzfire3567Still a really well implemented system.
My friends and I would compete in Double Dash tournaments with these adapters. The adapters got really expensive when it was the first methods to run backups on the Gamecube. Good times
What do you mean by "run backups"?
@@olanmills64🏴☠️ backups🏴☠️of your games
I love this game so much. If I had the adaptor I'd gladly start a level 1 with you. If you ever make a thing of this, I'm so in.
I loved PSO on Dreamcast and was only limited by the responsibilities of grad school. Truth be told, I might have been better off had I focused more on PSO instead.
FWIW, the PC version has a whole chunk of content that never came to consoles, called Episode IV: Blue Burst. It includes a pretty large new area (goes from desert to underground desert caves), new weapons, bosses, and enemies, etc.
If you're going to play PSO in 2022, definitely get Blue Burst and play on PC!!
I’m so fascinated by early online games, what dev meetings were like creating this new frontier. So cool.
This was amazing to see. I spent so much time in this world back on the Dreamcast with friends. Good memories 👍
Two things I didn’t buy when I was big into GC early 00s and regret it now. This-the broadband adaptor and the GC component cable.
The problem was the only game that supported the broadband adapter was I think Phantasy Star Online and there was some issue with the component cable on the Pal systems.
I loved playing PSO with a friend it was great, i had about 4 different high end mags but the one I really wanted was Sonic but could never get him.
It's a shame Nintendo won't bring GC games to Switch because this game would get a boost, but I regret getting rid of my GC and B-Adapter that system had some brilliant games Skies of Arcadia Legends especially
Yeh i never got the Sonic mag, or the chainsword
Did you ever try Phantasy Star Zero, I played it on 3DS but I think it was actually a DS title. Also PSO2 is free to play on Xbox/PC, not sure why it didn't get a switch port, perhaps Microsoft bought the exclusive rights for Xbox 🤷
I need to play my skies of Arcadia game owned but never played for years 🙈
Really sucks that PSO2 is only cloud play on Switch, even though the game ran natively just fine on Vita. I'd love to play on there.
I played that on Dreamcast and, Oh boy! Do I remember some of the questionable custom emotes that were made back in the day, with the limited assets the game gave us. Fun times!
Pretty ahead of it's time perhaps, would have been extremely mind-blowing for me on my GameCube back in the early 2000s if I was playing LAN mode on MKDD... I used to wonder where I could find the LAN Adapter, but back then they were pretty rare (still are I guess) and online shopping was not as accessible to me as it is now.
Great content on an interesting accessory for GC!
Dreamcast was ahead of its time bruh chill
The ps2 and xbox could also play online but there are way more games you could play. So it wasnt really ahead of its time, its just weird to see it on the game cube
Same here, always drooled over it reading on magazines, so much nostalgia to find out they still play it.
And now they’re behind the time with online
Oh man this takes me back! Played the shit out of pso. I remember my brother buying a GameCube keyboard controller that was in Japanese and English.
Don't forget about PSO III, the card games was really fun. I used to play it with all my friends back in the day. Good times.
My head cannon says Kaitlyn is a fan of Spawn Wave and only stayed in his game because she thought it was him. We can only hope the real Kaitlyn shows up in the comments 🙏🏻 😂
Hi, I didn't know it was spawn lol
I am infact a subscriber though, and when i DID see myself in this video, i was kinda shocked lol
That’s awesome! I have no reason not to believe you and I already have a bias towards wanting this to be the case. That’s awesome though…now we can only hope Jon sees your comment 🤞🏻
@@Cookberg lol maybe, that would be funny
hope you have a good day :)
@@autumn_mnya I went and found your comment thread and posted in it. Maybe it’ll get a heart from Spawn himself.
You have a good day too 😃
Lol wow that's actually really cool
It's cool that there's GCN Private Servers for PSO, but I don't see why someone would choose that over Blue Burst.
Lol this is pretty awesome. Love seeing old tech still working thanks to community support, which is why BC and game preservation is so important. Of the companies, I think only MS gets that sadly.
you mean MS whos not putting games on discs and tries to kill physical media with the game pass (and with that they kill all the possible preservation)... yeah sure if you think so :D
@@nuclearbeeberman yeah none of them really give a shit about BC if there's no money to be made
@@nuclearbeeberman you clearly have never heard of the disc drive still having reverse compatibility. Halo 2 still works just fine inside an Xbox One
I actually use the BBA with Swiss to stream the entire GameCube catalogue of games off my NAS.
This was the game right here that was my first MMO and made me fall in love with the WoW after.
Simple times on the dreamcast, waiting for my older bro to hop off, so I could get some time in. Miss those
I have PSO ep. 1&2 PLUS, which I recommend as the best experience of the title on GC, though it is about 3 to 4 times more expensive than the reg PSO on GC
I just sold my broadband adapter that was in mint condition on eBay a little over a month ago. Sold it for 90 dollars. Used to play phantasy star online 2 when I was like 10 years in in 2003-2004. Even had an adapter to plug in a ps/2 keyboard so I was able to communicate with other players.
I put hours and hours and hours into PSO on Gamecube back in the day, and couldn't even play online! I did some split-screen co-op with friends here and there, but it was mostly solo. The game feels pretty lonely without other players populating the space, but I still loved it. Just getting to see this game again and hear some of that fantastic soundtrack really brought me back.
Gamecube was the last great Nintendo system in my eyes when Nintendo still wanted to be within arm grab of power compared to its competition... I miss those days so much but the Switch is still great
Agreed one of my favorite consoles
Switch is mid in my eyes
Bro… you gotta try this console they put out called the “WiiU”
@@LeonSKennedy7777 the wii u was supposed to compete with xbox one and ps4 though
Yes the good old days
@@LeonSKennedy7777 The Wii U is less powerful than an Xbox 360 and PS3, and it was meant to combat the PS4 and Xbox 1...
one of my groups favorite thing to do together at MAGFest is play 8 player double dash in the console room! they have 8 cubes set up every year.
I feel like videos like this can pump some life into small online communities like this
I wonder what it would of been like if melee was online
I had a keyboard for the gamecube when I was playing this online back in the day. Sega ran the servers like shit so I am happy to see that SCHTHACK is still up and about. I use to play on the PSO BB server for PC a few years back before moving to Ultima. Amazing to see players still playing to this day on the GC. Super cool. I poured hundreds and hundreds of hours into this game.
Woooooow Phantasy Star Online 😆 brings back memories of a ridiculous amount of time playing and grinding and omg I didn't realize how slow the characters run. The early 2000's was an amazing time for gaming with friends and family.
The Mario Kart LAN thing blew my mind. Lmao. And funnily enough... Years ago, TheRunawayGuys did an entire set of videos with THAT setup specifically. Lmao. It was just hilarious all around.
Sadly, I never experienced that myself -we never owned the adaptor or knew anyone who did-
I always just used the things on the bottom to store my memory cards and microphone for Mario party. Never even thought it was meant for a LAN adapter.
Honestly this kinda makes me want to get a GCN, LAN adapter and PS2O despite my loathing of turn based games. I just love the fact that there's even 10 people still playing it after over 20 years. Maybe PC is the future so we can experience everything from everyone and not worry about their egos... I'm saying this as someone who's always console gamed since getting the Genesis in '92 and getting gifted a Tandy with DOS in 1996. Subsequently I haven't owned a computer since 2007.
Have you really never owned a pc that long?! You sir deserve a medal
@@DragonProtector no I have not beyond a smart phone and gaming consoles which are technically extremely tailored PCs.
@@Aqua_Toad steam deck?
You can try with a wii and nintendont instead, it can emulate a broadband adapter for gamecube games
I remember the Schthack servers back in the day. I had easily over a thousand hours on the GC version (all offline) but years later I did play Blue Burst on PC on the Schthack servers for a while. Classic game.
I never played this but I've become very intrigued with it in recent months. Really fascinating piece of videogame history!
Pso blueburst free download for pc with people always on
Best game ever made.
The Dreamcast scene for PSO should be more active thanks to the DreamPi and fact that the Dreamcast came with at least the 56k modem out of the box.
Plenty for PSO, ChuChu Rocket and all that.
My friend and I played this game a lot on the original xbox. Great experience. the base PSo2 basically took that game on put it on steroids. Truly amazing gameplay experience. Unfortunately, PSO2 ngs is just terrible.
That’s the coolest thing that retro fans found a massive loophole and revamped a GameCube game on internet, although only a few people play at once, the community is passionate enough the create servers etc. so cool
A chapter of Nintendo's rocky history with online gaming. Yep...
What’s funny Nintendo didn’t believe in it and didn’t think it would take off lmao 🤣
Tells you a lot about Nintendo and yet Nintendo is still stuck in times somewhat
@@michaelmyersplays4992 Nintendo has attempted online services for over 30 years and the reception has been mixed at best. You may want to look up the Family Computer Network System, Satellaview and Randnet; if Nintendo attempted doing something like those today, there'd be enormous outrage.
On the bright side, being "stuck in times somewhat" also means that on Nintendo consoles we likely won't have to worry about stuff like lootboxes or NFT's and other features that plague online gaming; be careful what you wish for.
@@dogg-paws here we go a fanboy defending Nintendo like they can’t do no wrong lol 😆
@@michaelmyersplays4992 What I said is the truth, isn't it? Think before you blabber out nonsensical attacks!
I play online on Dreamcast it’s still my favorite online rpg. It’s just so chill. It’s weird because usually chill games get boring but this doesn’t. There’s just something about it that other games don’t have. The simplicity is perfect
Watching this dude eat the sponsors food was hilarious, he just looked like he was being held at gun point hahaha
You have to really level up the price with component cables and a keyboard controller
I remember playing that PSO server on the dreamcast a few years ago. iirc you had to have a landline phone, hook the phone line up to your dreamcast, but the phone line had to be powered so you had to either splice in a battery or get another device to power the phone line (which I just happened to have a power strip that randomly had a phone line in and out that did just that), then you had to get Unreal Tournament or the web browser disk so you could save some modem settings, then you could go back to PSO and join the server. I was amazed to be playing dreamcast online for about 10 min until I got bored, put everything away, and never touched it again.
Wow what a throw back. I had this for both Dreamcast and GameCube, such a great game. Early online games were so exciting to play. It was a completely new experience and when your mom finally succumbed to paying the monthly subscription, you were in childhood nirvana. Until your parents yelled at you for constantly blocking the telephone line…
My GameCube experience as made it to Level 5, now my mom is going to allow me to but this special accessory to play my favorite GCN games ONLINE! :)
I play from time to time on the Dreamcast on the same server. Its awesome! You can also play online with the wii.
Hey now there's still some of us playing SOCOM, obviously not with a Gamecube ;)
I always wanted to play Phantasy Star Online Episode 1 & 2 online on my Gamecube, but I didn't Cable modem until much later. At least I got to play local split screen with my friends, family and neighbors. Everyone I had introduced to this game absolutely fell in love with it.
Hey Spawn do you know you can access PSO with your Wii vía wifi, there are plenty of videos, I’ve been playing the peak players has been 40 (4 per session) a day and it’s been a blast
I hope there are more people who do servers for these older games I wouldn't mind playing online with a Battlefront 2 on the PS2 with somebody I just gotta get internet
This game, on the Gamecube... This was the first game I played online, man I enjoyed this video.
This was amazing to watch, we still have our memory card with our characters!
RetroNAS on GC could be a great use of the broadband adapter. Great video!
What a crazy game Mario Kart Double Dash was, sadly it has only 4 cups so it gets pretty repetitive after some time playing, 8 cups would make that game perfect, it has the best learning curve and sense of speed of any Mario Kart in my opinion
"All cup tour"
@@Matanumi it worked for some time but 8 cups are the perfect quantity for a Mario Kart to keep me playing for more than 2 hours
I played PSO on my Dreamcast via dial-up with the keyboard controller. It was awesome.
Spawn, I tried this about a year or so ago on my dreamcast with a dream pi. Had some fun with it, if I would have had the game back in the day I probably would have been hooked on it for sure.
Ah yes, another GameCube adapter I don't have.
Dreamcast online has a huge active Phantasy Star Online community
The fact this exists is wholesome as fuck. I played gran turismo 4 online last weekend, that shit is a blast i tell you.
Oh bittersweet nostalgia, I dreamed of being able to play that game online back in the day... GameCube for life ❤️
Phantasy Star Online offline co-op was my fav with friends. The biggest problem with the offline co-op though is game progress is only saved for single player. Every time we would play again, it would start at Forest I again unless someone had single player progress
Amazing man! I still have my original black GC with the GBA adapter & disc and pretty sure I have this broadband adapter too 🤣
It was so fun seeing you find an actual person playing pso! 😄
The PSO went hard back in the day. You also have to consider most players are currently on PSO2 Which is live right now and supported by Sega with new quests every week or so. It's free on steam. It's in the microsoft store, but that version has issues installing which never seem to get fix. That and the game Cube version of the game is 400+ bucks and the adapter is $300. And that was before quarantine pushed up prices.
This is cool! Can't believe people are still playing after all these years.
It's fun to discover old communities in games that you wouldn't think are still alive. It's just like the Star Wars Jedi Knight games...
Those were the days of plugging your Ethernet cable into your console and playing with complete strangers with no way to communicate except the sound of your gun.
Its always so interesting to me that players still find a way to play old games like this. I sometimes log into Star Wars Galaxies (Legends) but that game I feel was way more popular. It surprises me that not only was there even 1 other player playing PSO on gamecube, but someone actually joined up with you.
Can we get a PS2 online video next? So great to see these still work online.
20 years later and it’s still going on?? That’s impressive!
Dude I can't believe that server is still running. I played on that server so many years ago. That's just crazy to me. I kinda love it.
I think it's so awesome you can actually play crossplay between GameCube, Dreamcast and PC Online on the same server at the same time in Phantasy Star Online.
I played Phantasy Star on Dreamcast with dialup back then.
I hooked it to the family phone without telling my parents, they had no idea a video game console could connect to the internet.
It really was the futur.
Literally have hundreds of hours logged on my PSO copy on GameCube. Played that game online so much back in the day.
Fun fact: Schthack was created a couple months after the official PSO server were taken down and they had been running ever since. Hearing the lobby music kicked me right in the face with nostalgia again. Thanks!
