@sethmlarson How do you get LAN on a GameCube? I thought GameCubes didn't have any networking capability.

@jackemled First-party LAN through the Broadband Adapter (BBA) which was only used by very few games, one of which is Double Dash!

If you are able to run Swiss (with BBA emulation) your options go up quite a bit (and there are recent cheap options for hardware, ETH2GC, ETH2GC Memory Card)

@sethmlarson I forgot about the broadband adapter! I don't have a GameCube, but I wonder if there's a way to get networking on GameCube games on my Wii.

@jackemled Ctrl+F on the Swiss-Wii changelog reveals a few mentions of BBA emulation, might be worth a try! 👀

@sethmlarson I didn't know there was Swiss for the Wii. I've just been using Nintendont to run backups of my GameCube games.
