 er... they are?

you mean why dont people play them?

I dunno, there is a fascination with halo on xbc, and r6-3 on xlink.

If you dont see a game you wish to play on your chosen tunnel, host one!

If no one joins, call some friends up on irc, msn, telephone, etc.

What I ment was the xbconnect web site only lists 40 somthing games on there. Like I want to play Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance but xbc doesn't list it. Could I go into one of the rooms that no one is like Tony Hwak 2 and host a Mortal Kombat game???

 its not listed because its not system link.


no system link = no online play with a tunnel.

You could go to any of the rooms and host any sys link game.  BUT if you host a game that is different to what the room is labeled with, people are going to get the wrong idea.  Just let the people you want to play with know which room you will be hosting in and you should be fine.  You could password protect it so the wrong people can't join your game.

no its not.

stop picking random games.  :lol:

there are lists on both xbc's site and our site, and even in both of the forums here on x/s.

Pay attention :) we go through the trouble (both xbc and us) for a reason.

Here is a scan.  Crap quality but none the less it shows that it DOES NOT support system link.

THE X marks what is Supported which by the looks of it only shows

1 or 2 players
In game Dolby
HDTV
