I’ll join. It won’t be as consistent as playing Dreamcast games online since I don’t have an ethernet cable that can reach my Xbox (can’t get WiFi to work for Xlink) so if enough players are on, i’ll see if I can move things around and join.

Games I have that I’d love to play:

HaloCE/Halo 2 (obviously)
Splinter Cell PT/CT
Ghost Recon 2+SS
Conker Live and Reloaded
Counter Strike (curious to see what the Xbox port was like)
Star Wars Battlefront 1+2
Burnout Revenge
Call of Duty Finest Hour + Big Red One.

Looking to pickup PGR1+2 as well as Forza Motorsport.

Hi again!

I have a dedicated server started for "Unrealchampionship" to test on Xlink Kai. It seems to be working. If anyone wanna make a try, please PM for a meeting.

I joined successfully with another
Xbox, but i'm not sure if it works with other Xbox regionsystems.
(PAL/NTSC 50/60Hz)
I think i remember me there was problems at that time under Xbox live ?

Next time i will run the test server at !

If anyone got a little time, it would be nice
to test it and give a feedback how or if it works for you. :)

Ideally what you want to do is have your pc or laptop connected via Ethernet directly to your modem/router. Then you have your Xbox connected on the same network through it's Ethernet port directly into the same router.

Once they're both connected you run the Kai program on your PC and navigate to whatever game room for the game you want to play. Then boot up the xbox game, go to system link, search for games and done.

Yeah I understand that can be an issue sometimes. I run a 50 ft Ethernet cable from my router in the living room to the game room and have all my systems and pc connected to an Ethernet hub. I always prefer this to WiFi for my game systems and computer so it works out easy for playing xlink Kai.

I've got some of those games. Counter strike is actually a somewhat popular one. You can even find random people on it at times. But I'll add you to the OP and hope to see you online.

Quick question, is there a way X-Box users can play PSO on a private server?

Let me know a time this week and I'll help you troubleshoot. We'll get it to work.

And to the other person above, no PSO servers available sorry.
