New GameCube Emulator Announced - Gekko

**Razor Blade** · March 2nd, 2006, 18:48

Gekko (Not to be confused with the Gamecube's Cpu) is a "proof-of-concept" Gamecube Emulator that we have been working on for the past few months. What this means, is at this time it doesn't offer anything the other emulators don't, it is relatively slow and no commercial games boot. On a different note, currently Gekko is probably the most actively worked on Gamecube Emulator, and considering the great leaps and bounds we've made in the past few weeks, new updates are expected in the very near future. Gekko is currently being developed by myself (ShizZy), aprentice, and thakis, with some assistance from ZeZu. Stay tuned..

Heheh...I said that PS2 emulation would be the last project that i'd follow, but it seems that GC emulation really has my interests peeked.

Great work, and good luck with the project; I hope it continues and thrives.

P.S Regarding what raksmey1308 said, if you need any testers, I am more than willing to assist.

Thanks for the feedback guys

As for testers - not yet, there isn't enough working demos to go around

But very soon...

If anyone's interested, those who frequent #Gekko on IRC will get first dibs

DJ Stenny · June 30th, 2006, 07:44

Well guys, it's been 3 months since the last post. How's progress on the emulator going?

Viper_Viper · June 30th, 2006, 07:53

They'll be the ones to tell you rather than the other way around.
