The '''''Nintendo GameCube Broadband Adapter''''' (BBA) and the '''''Nintendo GameCube Modem Adapter''''' are a network adapter and 56k dial-up modem, respectively, for the [[Nintendo GameCube]]. They were produced by Conexant and made in the Philippines. The adapters fit flush into "Serial Port 1" on the underside of the GameCube and add an Ethernet port or telephone port to the side of the console, allowing the console to communicate with other consoles through a network. | The '''''Nintendo GameCube Broadband Adapter''''' (BBA) and the '''''Nintendo GameCube Modem Adapter''''' are a network adapter and 56k dial-up modem, respectively, for the [[Nintendo GameCube]].

As of {{revision|3.0-732}}, Dolphin's main branch has BBA emulation support. However, in older builds it requires a Virtual Private Network (VPN) in order to function.

However, in older builds it requires a Virtual Private Network (VPN) in order to function. BBA emulation is supported on OS X since {{revision|4.0-1390}}. Dolphin also supports BBA tunneling in {{revision|5.0-12233}} or newer through the [https://www.teamxlink.co.uk/ XLink Kai] setting. This allows for playing LAN games online, but requires extremely low latency between the players. | ||

The Built In BBA option skips a lot of the more difficult and involved steps that were needed in order to use BBA emulation. | The Built In BBA option skips a lot of the more difficult and involved steps that were needed in order to use BBA emulation. The trade-off is that, by forwarding everything to the local network, you can only run <i>one</i> BBA instance per device when running LAN games. The only thing you need to do is enable the device under '''Config > GameCube > SP1''', select '''Broadband Adapter (Built In)''' | ||
