Warp Pipe Adds 8-Player Mario Kart, 1080 Avalanche Support

Posted by simoniker on from the many-tentacles-pimping-on-the-joypads dept.

Thanks to the Warp Pipe site for its announcement that the latest 0.3.1 version of their Warp Pipe tunneling software for GameCube has been released, with Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X flavors now sporting a bugfix allowing a full complement of Mario Kart: Double Dash!! competitors ("you can play with up to 8 players via two Cubes"), and partial support for new GameCube snowboarding title 1080 Avalanche, albeit with "some stability issues", for this software which "enables you to play LAN-supported GameCube games over the Internet for free with other GameCube gamers."

    Don't forget the EXTRA special hosing received by those who made the mistake of the dial-up adapter because unlike Sony, Nintendo split dial-up and broadband. If they don't like, or get tired of, Phantasy Star Online (Eps. I and II; C.A.R.D. Battle), they're SOL.

    I've been using Warp Pipe with MKDD for a month now, both the old version and the new. Lag is an issue if you play someone far away, although slightly less so with the new update. The game plays in slow motion in this case. If you play someone in your own state, the lag is still there, but it's small enough to be barely noticible and the game is still easy to play. If you play someone in your own town and especially on your own ISP, there's no lag, period.
