XLink RC3 (codename Kai) will have GameCube support. It's about to go into a closed beta, However XLink is still Windows only. They're thinking about perhaps releasing some source under a kind of opensource license so people could port it, but that probably won't happen untill after Kai comes out.

Read up on it here under "XLink RC3 Update"

That version is 2-3 weeks old and doens't work very well with MK:DD, also it isn't being maintained by anybody. (not to mention the fact that the source is still availible from sourceforge CVS for now which has a fatter pipe, or that they thought they'd gone closed source a few months ago, so having that code is kind of questionable)

There's already 2 projects working on GC tunelling warppipe and X-Link, so I don't see how starting a new fork of warppipe off 3 week old code is going to help unless you're a lot better at network algorithms than I am, or you're just a roll-your-own kinda guy.

Personally I'm going to try Warppipe tonight, then keep playing it till X-Link Kai comes out and compare the 2. I don't feel like hacking together someone's old code in hopes of getting my own solution working... but then again, I'm just lazy ;-)
