You dont need a Bios because it is stored in each game i think.

MGFox · June 17th, 2004

None of the Emus "Require" a BIOS file, however Dolwin 9 upwards (i think) does support the GC IPL (or Bootrom) as the filename "bootrom.dol".

This is basically the GC logo that appears at bootup and i'm pretty sure it also contains the Menu System you'll get when no disc is inserted.

The Dolwin team mention it in the News archives of their page and there is a screenshot of it running as well.

It's startto look like like a "How to get (so and so incomplete emulator) to play (so and so game)" n00b party

You can't play GC games yet on any emus all of them are still work in progress and unreleased ,don't even bother asking how to decrypt the GC discs as no one managed to decrypt it let alone run it on a PC

bust a move 3000 is fully playable on dolphin....
and many other games work up to some point

Player-X · June 17th, 2004

Still you'll need to decrypt the GC disc and most games can go up to a certain point and crash that's called unplayerble

l3illyl3ob · June 17th, 2004

there's no decrypting of the disc going on, since you can bypass the encryption by making images through the gamecube. Look for how to on google

. alot of games can boot up on dolphin, and some can even play through.

**Chrono Archangel** · June 17th, 2004

l3illyl3ob is right....the GC images arent decrypt. there exact copies of the games in ISO format. well at least ive never heard any of the emus having to decrypt the games. IINM only the bios is encrypted (the bootrom as they would say)

Player-X · June 19th, 2004

My mistake then
