Gekko - A New GameCube Emulator

**Chrono Archangel** · March 3rd, 2006, 00:39

Our buddy*ShizZy*announced over at Emulation64, the Nintendo GameCube emulator called Gekko that they're currently working on. I'll let him tell you all the details :

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..

Nice. I cant say anything about ShizZy, but aprentice and ZeZu know their stuff.

Good luck to all the team. UltraHLE, Gamecube version?

No, only the emulator called 'Gcube', I think.

Actually, one of the devs has an iBook, and he's seriously considering a port. So you never know
