Unfortunately I had 56k back in the day so I have the modem, if I had a BBA I'd at least be able to play on private servers with my old PSO characters.

>tfw the adapter is $80
>nintendont doesnt support usb ethernet adapters for PSO2

Makes me sad

Should have been standard on the system. Nintendo didn't see the money in online gaming and essentially ceded that to their competitors.

I loved it. PSO was basically the first game I ever played online. I still think PSO holds the rank for most hours of a game played for me.I had multiple 100h+ characters, and repeatedly had them corrupted

I have one because I found it at a used shop for 20 bucks, I'd like to use it someday to play Mario Kart with too many players. Maybe at a con someday.

it's still kind of weird that PSO has an active community to this day. IIRC Kirby's Air Ride and Mario Kart DD are still used to adapter tournaments. Not sure about Homeland though. Although it IS a fantastic game.

Anybody remember Warp Pipe where you could tunnel Kirby's Air Ride, 1080 Avalanche, and Mario Kart: DD to play online? I remember they had a campaign asking Nintendo to enable LAN for StarFox Assault so people could play online but that never happened.

Disappointment. This could have been a real game-changer for Nintendo and it was completely squandered. We could have played Pokemon on this thing one generation early!

PSO is still going on the GC on private servers? That's cool, but honestly, you might as well move over to Blue Burst.

People just like the idea of it being on the Gamecube. But yeah, it's still active.

I'd actually be into it if I still had my system. Maybe I should look into it. Most expensive thing is probably the broadband adapter now.

I feel like I really missed out on something great not getting into the Phantasy Star games. I knew about the online capabilities for the GC but never go the game or adapter to do it, and the one on the 360 interested me after playing the demo but I didn't want to pay the extra cost to play online. I was really hoping for PSO2 to be localized.

I own the 56k modem and two of the broadband adapters.

I was still using 56k until 2005, never bought any of the psos so the modem was a complete waste of money.

But the BBA was damn worth it, we had a few MKDD 8 player lans. It was a blast, though it was limited in how you selected the characters.

Such is the life of a nintendo fan, always chasing after what the competition is doing. But nintendo refused to change.

I remember when forum threads used to need 56k warnings.

I believe this was the same sort of thing done with the Dreamcast. I'm not entirely sure.

I happened upon an old ghetto game store after living in Brooklyn for some time and found two of these, still in the packaging just hanging on the wall. I asked the owner how much he wanted for them and he said he'd give both to me for a grand total of $20. I picked them up and installed one into a GameCube I got from some kid who worked in a different game store, said he found it literally sitting on the street one day and hooked me up with that, melee, and a basic memory card with all the characters unlocked for $40. I gave him one of the adapters as a thank-you, since he had a fairly decent game collection including a sealed Earthbound, and we smoked together and he introduced me to Project M for the first time.
godspeed, Lewis. I wish we could have hung out more
