1) decompress it to get the real binary
+
-
unzip kaid-*
+
-
2) Move it to /usr/local/sbin
+
-
mv kaid-static* kaid
+
-
mv kaid /usr/local/sbin
+
-
chmod 755 /usr/local/sbin/kaid

-
ln -s /etc/init.d/kaid /etc/rc.d/rc0.d/K99kaid

-
#
+
-
# Verbosity : Debug output verbosity. Options are as follows:
+
-
# 0 - Silent apart from starting / stopping messages, and init failures.
+
-
# 1 - As 1, but shows import events such as UI attach/detach, console detection,
+
-
# orb connection / loss.
+
-
# 2 - As 2, but more detailed, showing thread start/stop events, DHCP
+
-
# events, and other important information.

-
# 3 - Debug - same as 2, but with lots of extra information - useful

-
# for diagnosing segfaults etc.

+
-
SniffDevice = eth0
+
-
#
+
-
# LocalDevices : How many consoles to detect before the engine locks the pcap filter. Setting this to 0,
+
-
# means the engine will never lock - which means you can use any number of consoles, but
+
-
# you will notice a performance hit, if your network is busy with other traffic. The best
+
-
# thing to do here is to set the number to the number of consoles you own - that's why it

==== Linksys WRT54G router script ====
+
-
''Note: I have tested the script with the DD-WRT SP2 VPN firmware; please add any additional routers to the list below''
+
-
 
+
-
Works on:
+
-
- Linksys WRT54G
+
-
+- DD-WRT V2.3 SP2
+
-
 
+
-
Add below script to the "Startup script" in your router:
+
-
cd /tmp
+
-
wget http://genotix.nl/kai/runme.script
+
-
chmod +x ./runme.script
+
-
./runme.script
+
-
 
+
-
This command downloads and runs the above script.
+
-
 
+
-
I've made it resonnably generic so it should work on most MIPS CPU based routers with linux
+
-
and with the following tools installed:
+
-
* sh (default shell)
+
-
* wget
+
-
* awk
+
-
* sed
+
-
* tar
+
-
 
+
-
Feel free to alter the base script and please let me know of the changes if you do.

Overview

Xlink Kai: Evolution VII lets you connect with other console users around the world, and play online games for free. XLink Kai: Evo VII tricks your console into thinking that the other users it is connecting to over the Internet, are actually part of a Local Area Network. This is the basis of system-link gaming, where friends would gather around in the same house and play over 2 or more consoles. With XLink Kai: Evo VII, you now have the option to test your skills out with anybody in the world.[1]

Features

  • Supports Xbox, Xbox 360, PlayStation 2, Gamecube, and PSP system-link / LAN enabled games.
  • 2 gaming modes (Messenger and Arena).
  • WinPCap-less.
  • Integrated chat in all areas.
  • No port-forwarding required on almost all network setups.
  • PC to PC and PC to XBox Dashboard voicechat using the SPEEX codec.
  • Extremely simple and global user-interface.
  • Auto-update on startup.
  • Multi-console compatible.
  • Compatible with wireless networks (not all wireless network setups).
  • Superior compression algorithms for less lag.
  • Support for university dorms and proxies such as Italian FastWeb ISP.
  • Trusted clan and tournament / ladder arenas.
  • Remote functionality through homebrew dashboards (XBMC - Using Xbox Media Center with the LinkStation)

Installation

From Precompiled Binary

It even may work on a LS2 (MIPSel) because binaries exist for both architectures. The only problem is that there is no static binary for the MIPSel.[2]
