HOW do I get the streaming thing to work on xp?

[NeoNight]

My computer never picks up the GC BBA adapter it keeps telling my the plug is unpluged. Guess whoever made that tut didn't think about xp :/ lol funny thing is I went and purchased the BBA (for what looks like no reason) and in the process lost my wallet! :(

Ok. I have XP and my link to my Gamecube works just peachy. The first thing you should check is your network cable. If you're networked through a hub or router you need to use a straight/patch cable. If you're just networking directly from your GC to your PC, you NEED a cross-over cable, which happens to be about 3 times the price of a normal patch cable. Once you turn on your GC, XP should say it's connected. If you need anymore help, just let me know.

where can I get a cross over cable? or hub? or router/patch cable?

How is your gamecube connected to your computer right now? You can pick up a router, hub, patch cable, or crossover cable at any computer-type store. The cheapest way (if all you have is a network card) is to buy a crossover cable. I'm from Canada, so I don't really know any computer-type stores in the United States. Here, I would recommend Future Shop or Staples. If you have any online gaming stores around, you could ask them about it also.

Yeah all I have is the NIC card broad band cable/ dsl modem.. but thanks I forgot all about staples! I have one within walking distance from my house so I can just pick up Crossover cable over there (do I need a certain type of crossover cable? ). Btw is there any snes emus that can be streamed and used on the gc? or n64 emus?

A crossover cable is a crossover cable. There's only one kind. There are currently no Snes emulators of the GC that I know of, but there is an N64 one (the one that was originally used my nintendo on the Zelda Master Quest Disc to play those 2 N64 games) However, the only game (besides Ocarina of Time) that I have gotten to work on it is Mario Kart 64. I don't remember if it had saving support of not. Other than that.....I don't really know. Happy streaming!
