XLink Kai Original Xbox Homebrew Tutorial

Most Original Xbox homebrew titles that support LAN play do not use the native system link features, but rather more generic LAN functionality that uses the dashboard IP configuration.

In order to play these games via Kai, you first need to enable homebrew functionality via the configuration menu, as well as auto IP assignment if you want Kai to intercept DHCP on your Xbox.

Next, either set your Xbox to get an IP address automatically via DHCP, or generate a static IP to set in your dashboard with https://teamxlink.co.uk/ipcalculator.php. If you are using DHCP, you must start XLink before starting your Xbox.

Check and make sure that you have an IP starting with 10.25x, and netmask 255.255.0.0.

Finally, launch your game, and navigate to the LAN mode, then host or join matches. Quake 2x will show LAN servers in the same area as online servers.
