I don't know if I'll even try this. xband411 you're alright but the guys running the xband facebook profile band me for asking if they would like me to redesign the xband website for them. I just wanted to help out xband since I've seen the site and I know I could do a better job. but they called my post spam and wouldn't even talking to me just blocked me from the form... I pretty much gave up on xband after that.
@Trollioli Yes, this is a homebrew launch, but instead of using the original hardware (too complex, will never happen), it will function on PC and Wii. Drop by the demo to see what it looks like and what it will have to offer.
@heuylewis5000 Haha... feel free to prove me wrong man. You'd better have a lot of money and time on hand though. Otherwise someone would have gotten it working in the last 14 years. And this is not my opinion. This is information gathered from former Xband engineers.
@heuylewis5000 It's not that it's impossible. But I would like to use Xband again before I turn 40. My team at one point in time had joined up with the other people interested in reviving the hardware. Even with the original Genesis client source code, and the original stripped down Xband Server code it would be a big task, and even then there wouldn't be much room for scalability. Who has phone lines anymore anyways?
I've been in on this since April 30th, 1997...I can testify that ALOT of people have tried to get XBAND working again. I think the closest anyone got was making a modem to modem phone call through the SNES.
@RawChristianSuperman I agree. Many have tried, but it just hasn't happened. I have all the respect in the world for those that have attempted it. However it's just not realistically feasible to expect the original Xband hardware to ever work properly in the near future, no matter how much we all might want it to happen.
@sharloff
Nope, they literally gave us a link to the demo during the q&a. They didn't have a release date but said before the wii u.

So, I missed the Q&A. Anyway I could catch some information about the program or a review of the preview?

If you wanted to see the preview, just go to Laguanacloud's channel. It's the one the people that were at the q&a saw.

Interesting. I hope it has all the same stats and everything. That would kick ass.

I don't understand. Is there some sort of home brew effort to relaunch the xband?
