Here is an idea...I don't know if I will work, and I am not a programmer...

1. Connect the Gamecube to a PC with a USB port (using a modified cable)
2. Run a GBA emulator on the PC
3. Run a Gamecube game utilizing a GBA enhanced mode (eg. Zelda, Rayman 3)
4. Play the GBA feature of the Gamecube game without a GBA!!!

Responds to this thread if you think this idea would work!!!

Dont think its feasable. poeple would have to tap into the skillz cube connector, then would have to find out how to emulate the GBA's multiboot function, and then would need to find a way to sync the Gamecube.

This has been discussed before; and if I recall correctly the problem is the gamecube and the timing. The gamecube is, as of yet, pretty much a unknown piec of hardware; that is to say that noone really has enough info on how it works to do something like this.

As far as I know noone has succeded in hooking a gamecube up to a PC with any meaningful results.

That Master Quest leak is almost definetely a Dump of the N64 version of the game that was made under a N64 development (you can sometimes buy development carts on eBay occasionally, if they are being sold at the time) cart, so don't use that as proof of a NGC->PC interaction.

Sorry, but, GC to PC has seen success, and the Master Quest rom is a result of it.
