Gekko emulator relaunched

**Hard core Rikki** · March 5th, 2012, 06:31

After a hiatus, development of the gamecube emulator Gekko has resumed.

Quote:

Wasn't Gekko dead?!?!

After about 3 years of inactivity, ShizZy started a new build of Gekko in early 2012. The project is unofficially named Project Cafe after Nintendo's successor to the Wii. The goal of the project is primarily to revive Gekko and its community, but also to help bring some life back to the emulation scene

This build of the project is planned to include a OpenGL 3.3-based video core, XML-based configuration manager, dual-core support, and better cross-platform support. The project is also intended to be a platform to eventually expand to Wii (and future Nintendo system) emulation.

The Gekko Project Cafe build is currently actively maintained here, while the project website and forums are hosted on http://6bit.net.

The latest "bleeding-edge" release of Gekko Project Cafe is publicly available and licensed under the GNU GPL v2.

If it can reach the level of Dolphin, it would be great for the emulation scene. Oh, and this is my 1400th post

He should just join dolphin, and help the open source project along. No point re-inventing the wheel.

We weren't condemning you, I think it's excellent to see people still interested in the emulation scene. The more, the merrier

The community has had issues with haters in the past and will continue to do so. You just have to believe that there is a majority of people who actually welcome your efforts
