For those not (or at least those in Norway), the equipment linked were precisely the ones that could not be shipped to Norway. If I find a good alternative I'll post about it here.

Have you tried german amazon?

Yep, it's the same across all Amazon retailers; Mayflash adapters cannot be shipped here, nor can the white Nintendo controllers. I'm gonna check on a few more retailers before I give up.

Update & Edit:
Seems like Play Asia has them. Lot of shipping options and overall not that expensive. If Amazon is failing you and you live in Europe, it might be worth checking out.

Old update:

Exhausted all things Amazon and online retailers in general. I would definitely need to use eBay for this, which means shipping from Hong Kong where delivery might easily exceed 20 days and be quite expensive. No thanks; not for something I'm not even sure I'll use that frequently.

Send an open letter to the norwegian government to join EU so you can get your damn gc controller!

Exactly! It's important things like this that will make them open their eyes. =)

Should have my adapter in a couple of days. Here's hoping.

My current computer specs are:
2.4 ghz Core2Duo (not overclockable)
1 gb ram
old graphics card (256 mb, directx 9/opengl 2.0 support)

The graphics card didn't support DirectX 10 or OpenGl 3.0, so I couldn't run the latest version of dolphin. Instead I tried an older version and got ~40 fps on single player ssbm.

My question is, would I be able to run netplay ssbm if I upgraded ram and graphics card? (in other words, is my CPU good enough?) I am ok with lower graphic settings if it is necessary, but I want the game to run smoothly.

Thanks.

Yeah there's no way you're going to be able to have smooth gameplay without a complete upgrade of your computer.

How about if I had 3.0 ghz? After much research it seems like it IS overclockable. I will add another 2 gigs of Ram and get some decent gpu.

Is it pretty easy to find matches if you live in the states? I'm in Texas and considering setting this up but a little on the fence. Not that the Gamecube controller adapter is expensive or anything but I don't want to spend money on something I won't use.

I'm pretty sure you can use any controller you want, KDJ was using an Xbox controller.

Careful! Hopefully the police won't track you down.

trying to find a controller to buy online (parents probably won't ship my old controllers to me), not sure if its worth spending 30 bucks for an official one but the used ones are pretty sketchy....
