What is XLink Kai?XLink Kai is a program that you run on your PC or Macintosh that allows you to play system-link / LAN-enabled games for your XBox, Playstation 2, Gamecube and PSP.
The software is referred to as what is known as a 'tunnelling' application. There are various other single-console tunnelling applications available, but XLink remains the only one to support all 3 major consoles..
So how does it work?For those people that really want to know, here's a quick briefing.
Your console uses the connectivity between your PC or Mac as a "tunnel". Data is sent from the console, to the PC or Mac, sent over the Internet through XLink Kai to the receiving PC or Mac, and finally sent to the receiving console. This happens in both directions so many times per second that you just have to believe us.
So you then ask, how is my console detecting these games over the Internet? Well these games are using standard Ethernet networks to transmit data. As long as the connection is strong and stable, your console is tricked into thinking the consoles it is connecting to are right there within the same house or building, when in fact they could be sitting 2000 km's away in another continent...

More infoIf you didn't quite understand what this is for, this lets you connect your xbox, ps2, and apparently your GameCube, to the internet to play mutiplayer games. (I don't really see the point besides using it for xbox.)
I have been using this since last night, playing Halo 2, i think it works nicely and it's really cool to be able to play online.
