In a dramatic turn of events... I was right the first time. You CAN run a 16-player game with 4 devices. For some reason, hardly anybody has documented doing it with 4, and it led me to believe that you just couldn't do it with 4 Gamecubes. For the most part the videos and posts of people running 16 player games will always feature 8 Gamecubes... but I just tested it again with 4 devices... and it actually does work with the right settings. There will eventually be a part 2 (maybe)

Did you know that Nintendont on the Wii and Wii U via homebrew has broadband adapter emulation? If your Wii or Wii U is connected to a network, it can see all the other consoles on that network and play LAN Double Dash with them. I've done it over wifi between my Wii and Wii U. As a bonus, it also allows you to connect to actual GameCube consoles or Dolphin instances on the same network as well. I find it really cool that you could set up a PC, GameCube, Wii, and Wii U on the same network and play LAN between all of them.

16:13 incorrect. on 4 systems you can only have 2 screens per console. but you can enable the coop mode to bump it up to 4 players. so you can get 16 players on 4 systems. also it turns out that once you lock in the lan session and when starting a race. the game actually disconnects the connection and then reconnects. (not sure why, but that's what it looks like the code does) and the crashes you see during these transitions seem to be caused by the systems not connecting in time. Also the menus are not perfectly synced if the connection slows down. meaning you can try to start a race, but the menu settings could be different for the systems. again causing a crash. however a funny work around for both issues is to slow down the emulation speed of the host to 60% before you lock in the lan and then return it back to 100% speed after the race intro is skipped. my guess is that slow down of the host gives peers more time to reconnect and prohibits the host from getting ahead. after the race intro screen the game seems to start it's proper network sync stuff. and it is then safe to return to 100% speed. overall each system seems to need to talk individually to agree on the game state. and due to emulation always being slower than the actual hardware the more systems you add the longer this takes. leading to frame chug. in my testing though 4 should be stable. Just make sure you enable coop mode and you can have the 16 player dream.

I am also relatable using lucky patcher in 2024 😂😂😂

This was such a cool idea! I love the madness of playing these on a bunch of cellphones networked together. Getting six to play nicely together still ain't half bad! 👍 Also, did you know there was an exploit developed back in the day where you could use this local connection to actually play other people over the internet? The speed wasn't the greatest, but it did work! My buddy had it set up and used it a few times on actual hardware.

use 4 Wiis and/or Wii Us running nintendont and emulate the broad band adapter with nintendont and you can use classic controller as GameCube controllers. I have done this multiple times.

Try remoting your dolphin instances to your phones with something like parsec, steam link, nvidia moonlight (or sunshine if you have an AMD GPU). maybe you can do it for half of the phones, and the other half run natively. In my opinion, its seems like an implementation issue of the broadband adapter in the emulator itself, maybe search for a direrent release of dolphin, there are plenty of forks and several of them are specificaly made for lan or internet but i don't know is there is android port for them. good luck with you project, this is amazing
