Gamecube Wavebird controlers..Anything better?

[zekmoe]

I need to buy some new Wavebird controlers for my GC, and hopefully for my upcoming Wii. My friends and I are Soul Caliber nuts, so when the Wii gets here, I intend on using the GC controlers for that game. They'll work with the wii, right? And are there better ones? THese have worked great for many years but are worn out.
Thanks

The Wavebird will work with the Wii (just as any other gamecube controller) for Gamecube games and some Virtual council games.

IIRC the Wavebird does not have rumble. This is a downside to most and would rather get an aftermarket wireless GC controller with rumble.

the wavebird will work with the Wii. the best part about it is they are fully supported by the Wii so you dont even need to plug in the recievers. they are built into the Wii itself!

i would love to but my internet is acting up and will only let me view Wiichat.com and my homepage

EDIT: i searched these forums and found a link to the article. not sure if it works because, as i said, my net is acting up and i can only visit WiiChat and my homepage. anyways here it is:

Thanks Mitch,

* WaveBirds are used as Nintendo GameCube controllers, so they need to use the receivers.
* The WaveBird receiver does indeed fit into the top of Wii.
...
...in spite of Wii's multi-faceted wireless internet and networking capabilities, WaveBirds will still need their old receivers to work.

wtf. where did i hear about the internal support for them then? i guess i ust miss read it lol

EDIT: damn this is annoying. i reset my router, reboot my PC, unplug all plugs, and STILL i cant view most websites. now im limited to my email, Xbox-Scene.com and Wiichat.com

change your DNS manually.

 

[The_Mitch]

change it to what?

 

[bobby1211]

4.2.2.2

4.2.2.3

I believe those are Verizons DNS.... they are working DNS servers and easy to remember.

ok. well im very computer savy but not when it comes to network configurating. in my router, it only gives me the option to change my DNS name (its set to myhome.westell.com) but not the DNS address. do i change it in my router or in my computers IP settings?

EDIT: nevermind. i got it. thanks. as soon as i hit apply in my IP settings, AIM logged on and all the websites loaded up lol

 

[bobby1211]

Changing it in your computer will work. But wont help other computers on your network. Its a good first step in troubleshooting though. If you are familiar with setting the DNS on your computer, do that first. Then you can use the internet (assuming it works) to find out how to input them into your router.

change your DNS manually.

Try These Below:

Open DNS
* 208.67.222.222
* 208.67.220.220

and if you have a router change them there. use the link below for direcitons on specific routers.

ok when i do that, it says "this value is read only when DHCP Client is Enabled" so i guess i cant change it in my router

EDIT: nvm. i found out how to turn DHCP off and i kept everything the same except my DNS and now its working just fine. thanks for the help!

also sorry for the thread hijack lol
