The GameCube (GCN) is a 2001 console produced by Nintendo. Due to how similar the architecture is between the Gamecube, Triforce and Wii, many GC emulators offer support for them.

The Triforce is an arcade system board developed jointly by Namco, Sega, and Nintendo, with the first games appearing in 2002. The system hardware is based on the Nintendo GameCube with several differences, like provisions for add-ons such as Sega's GD-ROM system and upgradeable RAM modules.

Emulators

Name Operating System(s) Latest Version GCN Wii Triforce Recommended
Dolphin Windows, Linux, OS X SVN
Gekko Windows, Linux SVN
MAME ? ?

Comparison

Dolphin is the only real emulator you should use; Gekko is still in very early development after being on hiatus for many years, and is nowhere near achieving Wii emulation either.
