The Wii console with a Gamecube controller

The Nintendo GameCube (GCN) and Nintendo Wii are consoles produced by Nintendo in 2001 and 2006, respectively. These consoles marked the start of a long history of weak third-party support for Nintendo, especially in the Wii, due to its weak hardware compared to other consoles at the time (Xbox 360/PlayStation 3).

Emulators

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

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.
