Gamecube Emulator

[Dark Aspect]

Is there a Game Cube emulator thats worth using?

I found this (http://gcube.exemu.net/) which looked promising but the Linux download link is broken.That and Gcube I think is a project thats ended:(.Does anybody know if Dolpin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolphin_(emulator)) runs on wine or cedega?I would like to play RE0 on my PC since I rarely ever use my Game Cube.

Edit:Ops I typed that to quick can a Mod change the Topic name to Gamecube Emulator

Don't know if it's worth trying or not, but had you search you'd have found many mirror sites.

You'll have to compile it, and I'm not sure what the dependancies are. Best of luck.

Cedega is worthless IMHO, check to see what can/will run via WINE here: http://appdb.winehq.org

Also your title has been fixed.

Ok thanks I searched for it for about two minutes but I had other stuff to do,thanks for the link.

I am beginning to come to that conclusion as well.Wine does almost every thing cedega does.......The only thing I wish I could do with wine is have more then one version installed.

Cedega is a total waste of money. WINE is doing better and it's much more functional for running things other than games.

Yeah I had installed Star Trek Elite Force 2 on Cedega and the game kept hanging up in various spots,Then I installed the same version on wine and it worked perfectly with a No CD crack.Splinter Cell works with the new version of wine too,I sent the test data to wine AB but they don't have it up yet.

I'm improving gcube and it's called TuxCube

It's not really active now, but if no other gamecube emulator is available for linux and is running a lot of games in the future, I have no choice but to make it a stable compatible efficient emulator. Enjoy the vid.

Hey that looks really good. Keep us posted on it! :)

I haven't really been active in the emulation scene for a couple of months now, but last i checked Dolphin was the best GC emulator out there, and at the time, the max fps you could expect to get was around 35, and that was on a VERY good computer.
They recently released a new beta (only for 64-bit systems) that is supposed to be able to use dual core processors pretty well, thus increasing the fps. Someone has even managed to run SSMB at 100% speed, but that's obviously just one game.
And, it's for windows.

So in short, there's no fully functional GC emulator, and there probably won't be for some time.

Once you get beyond the processing power of the N64 (or about there), emulation starts to get difficult and power hungry. I once got a Playstation emulator to run halfway decent, but not really worth it. Unless you have a pretty good gaming rig, you might have to stick with the real consoles. Besides, if you have that much power to run those systems, you'd be better off with some of the newer PC games. :)

GameCube (Nintendo) is famous for their excellent nintendo-consoles-only games.

Wow I know its not finished yet but lets say a year from now and you got the emulator as prefect as a Game Cube emulator can get.What do you think the final FPS would be on a 2.4 Ghz possessor and a Nvidia 6 series card?

The video looks good as far as a accurate emulation goes,it just needs a little speed now.

Do game Cube games run at 60 FPS or 30 FPS?

[hikaricore]

That video is actually running at 5fps and is playing sped up to look more interesting. :p

I've played lots of PSX games at perfect speed, on a crappy computer with 512mb and an nvidia geforce 440M graphics card. However, any systems after THAT are trickier to emulate.

indeed; and good luck ever replicating the Wii experience anywhere else.

As I said I'm not working on this right now, I have a (RLY) bigger project in the works :)
