===Broadband Adapter===
This shouldn't be confused with [[netplay]], which synchronizes emulation over an internet connection.
This add-on allowed the console to use LAN technology over [[Wikipedia:Ethernet|ethernet]]. ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'' used it to play on a local network with up to eight other GameCubes, while ''Phantasy Star Online'' took it a step further to allow an internet connection for Sega's now-offline official game servers<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6onrnPnl7E Spawn Wave's Playing The Nintendo GameCube Online In 2022 video about this]</ref>. ''Kirby Air Ride'' and ''1080° Avalanche'' also support this adapter. This feature was unavailable on the [[Wii emulators|Wii]] despite having 802.11 b/g connectivity built-in and an official USB LAN adapter.
It's possible to hook up zero or more of each of these configurations on one networked game:
*A real GameCube with a real BBA (naturally)
*A soft modded Wii or Wii U with [[Nintendont]], which can emulate the BBA for games that support it
*A recent version of Dolphin '''beta or dev builds''' which can emulate the BBA as well as System Link

Nintendont includes support for the GBA link cable hardware, but only through the GC controller ports on the original Wii (model RVL-001). It is currently '''not''' supported through any USB adapters.
