@Serpenterror I remember this fondly, the SP was a dang good hand held. Unfortunately it became a pick your poison situation — either the ability to swap out batteries with the wide GBA or a backlit screen with the SP but you can't charge it while the GC cable is plugged into the SP. And yeah, it's a bit costly — already having all the GCs, GB Players, and cables was a good nudge though, just needed to find a way to get it working remotely which is where that mess of adapters comes from, lol.
@x10power Depends, if the Mario Party games are GameCube games or allow for input via GameCube controllers then yes. By extension, any traditional multiplayer GameCube game is also playable remotely like this, requires a heck of a lot less GameCubes too, haha!
@CoastersPaul Thank you, glad that you think it's fascinating! To answer your question, this can absolutely be done with emulators. As far as I know GBA emulators can connect to a GC emulator. Then just load up Parsec, grab a few buddies, and you essentially have the same result. Part of the allure here for us was finding a way to solve these problems while using original hardware to do it!
