Will there be a game cube emulator do you think?

kjlaing · October 17th, 2002

I know none are listed on this site, im just wondering if any are in existance or being developed. There are a couple of games for the game cube that i would like to check out but i dont really fancy buying another console just for a couple.

Yeah it is. Indeed a looooong time before a gamecube emu is released and even then can a PC drive read the disks?

I think before anyone tries a GC emulator, they will try to PS2 emulation up and running first. So it may be quite a while before one comes along, if one ever does.
As for those of you who say it's to hard do, or it can't be done, remember the same things were said of Sega CD emulation and Sega Saturn emulation just a short while ago. Now look at where Sega CD and Saturn Emulation are today.

Next decade? It’s a fast machine, but my bet is that there will be demo emulators in a year, and playable emulation a year or so after that.

The PowerPC is reasonably well documented, and the Gamecube architecture is supposedly more straightforward to deal with than the PS2s. I don’t think a Gamecube emulator is all that far-fetched. Emulating all those registers might be a little slow, though.

**Yeloazndevil** · October 17th, 2002

to Snu but can pc drive be able to read the gamecube's discs

A PC can read Gamecube disks just as well as it can SNES cartridges. (In other words, it would be based on copied ROMs.)

**Yeloazndevil** · October 17th, 2002

i'm talking about can the discs be read in a cd or dvd-rom drive

Snu · October 17th, 2002

The answer is no — but reading the disks isn’t necessary for emulation.

The gamecube just appeared. Is there a Pc powerful enough to run a game like Mario sunshine these days, if it was developed for the pc platform? I don't know if I'm saying it right (my english sucks...)

I dunno about you, but I don't have 150 bucks to be throwing around... I'm a broke-ass college student and I have more important stuff like rent and electricity, and FOOD to worry about.
