Gamecube lan functionality on Wii

Wiitendo · 03-22-2007, 01:14 AM

Some wii games will support gamecube controller if thats what yoyr asking, because they still make gamecube games they can't have a LAN gamecube game. A wii game with gamecube controller? yes. an online gamecube game? no.

-SSBB will be online, and VC also uses GC controller.

Right from the book, word by word, letter by letter, and this book is used by most for a study guide for the Network+ portion of the CompTIA Certification, I wouldn't argue with it, it says it supports protocols, but does not say it is a protocol itself, I could also get into wireless, i just turned to the page where it talks about 802.11, but I think i'll stop here

This is just a way of saying I do know what I am talking about, and don't just argue to argue

As for it's place on the OSI model, I agree there

Blah blah blah word by word. Don't get all arrogant and try to lecture me about some shit you read in a book.

Arrogant? I'm not trying to be arrogant, i'm just saying that the book is based on networking, if somebody says something and the book says something else, sorry, but i'm going with the book, only because, in the book, they have something to back them up, people just saying something on the other hand, there's no proof, nothing, and if you think the information is wrong, remember, I didn't write it, talk with the person responsibe for writing the book. I'm just saying both my networking lab and the book disagree, how you take that, is up to you

@ viperjason-I agree with what you say up to a point

Well, as a matter of fact, they do mean "jack shit". Businesses do look at those, so it gives you a higher chance of getting hired somewhere

Higher chance of getting hired, sure. Higher chance that the applicant knows anything, NOPE. You may get hired and you may BS your way through the work getting stuff done, but it doesnt give you years of experience, or any know how to deal with anything more significant than the normal IS/IT question "Wheres my ANY key?"
So, to me and many companies I know that look for Skillz rather than certificates, they would most defiantly say that Network+ dont mean jack shit.

I have met many people that have these certifications, and you know what.....when I ran my own tech repair company, I was paid to come in and clean up their messes. This goes the same for A+ and all the other + certifications. I stopped doing tech repair because I got tired of people calling me to replace their ink cartridges. I have no certifications, and I am proud of that, heck I even helped a few get theirs.....they still call me and ask for help.

If you want to impress me, get Cisco certified (CCIE not CCNA). Then MAYBE, you MIGHT just impress me there.

Can we please get back on topic now? Has anyone tried yet? I found someone that seems to have the disc, I'm going to try with theirs over the weekend.

Well, you do know the certifications pretty well, and I know the ink thing is a figure of speech, but my mother knows how to install an ink cartridge, and I practically have to boot the computer for her if you know what I mean

Now the only reason I piped in here was to say that etherent was not a protocol, and unless all my sources are wrong (and I doubt it), then I was right (on that topic at least), so, conversation over, I really don't care if certifications get you anywhere or not, and to be honest, the only thing that I have a certification in is CPR, and I think that's outdated, and that isn't even related to networking, it's related to health (really saving peoples lives), but anyway, what I mean to say is I don't have an A+ certification, or Network+ certification, (I had a chance to but turned it down), but but my lab instructor does, and, well, quite frankly, things have been going quite smoothly in the lab, so i'm going to beileve what I hear

Thanks for trying.....I think the lan adapter would be less likely....but we should try it as well.

Actually the ink thing wasnt a figure of speech. I really had some lady call me just to replace the ink cartridge.
Ink $20
Tech guy to replace it $40
Not having to learn anything and just pay someone else: Priceless

She called me back the next week for some other simple stupid thing....

Wow, she must have really had problems, lol, anyway, what does the ink thing have to relate to certifications?

This thread has really gotten off topic. Im considering getting Mario CArt double dash for GC. Has anyone tested its online multiplayer for use in the wii?

The thread did answer this question already, the answer is no. The network functionality in the Wii is not available to GCN games.

viperjason · 03-26-2007, 05:31 PM

Unfortunately, mym6, after testing with GC's and Wiis....and just wiis, the GC lan functionality does not work with the Wii.
