Hello all. I wanted to post about this earlier.. but hte boards werent up yet.. so i figured id post now..

Some of you may or may not know of a gamecube emulation project named Dolphin. Dolphin was released late night January 26 2004 as a teaser version (experimental) with several games FULLY PLAYABLE on a 3 GHz P4 (amd athlon xp barton or higher) with the GeForce FX series cards.

the origional compatibility list is...
Recommended games to try (of course your own ripped GCMs of your legally bought discs):
Bust-a-Move 3000 (fully playable)
Crazy Taxi (slow, gfx glitches)
Zelda (slow, gfx glitches)
Mario (slow, gfx glitches)
18 Wheeler (slow, gfx glitches)
Ikaruga (slow, gfx glitches, crashes after four waves, but still cool)
and more...

here are some screenshots of it running...

Since then the version has been updated and is more stable

If some of you are skeptical then go and download the emulator for yourself at www.dolphin-emu.com however downloading GCN files are illegal so dont ask me, the team, or anyone else for these.. youll have to obtain them your own ways.. at your own risk.

So far.. Gamecube emulation seems to be moving VERY quickly. ;)

You obviously have never used ePSXe (psx emu), which often produces better results on ocmputer than it does on the actual console. ;)

It's called broadband streaming. Look it up. Trust me, it's the only way to emulate GCN games. It completely ruins your broadband adaptor for LAN or online play, but you could buy another one for those purposes and it would still be worth it monetarily. The only downside is that you'd be helping the market take a nose dive into the realm of Piracy, where only p*ss poor games come out due to cheap people that don't want to fund the next marvelous, inspired project of the developers they're ripping off. Awww, who am I kidding? The Gaming industry is becomming parallel with the Music industry, in that most of the popular stuff sucks, and a few songs are truly good. That's why people pirate stuff. In protest... at least that's why I DID it... Q_Q ....

I dont even live with my parents at all anymore.. and as for owning a GC im saving for a new laptop so id rather not spend even 100 on something else.
