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.
The Wii was essentially a powered up gamecube, which means it simply plays gamecube games instead of emulating (like ps3 poorly did for 2 and 1).
Emulators
| Name | Operating System(s) | Latest Version | GCN | Wii | Triforce | Recommended |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dolphin | Windows, Linux, OS X | SVN | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Gekko | Windows, Linux | SVN | ✓ | ✗ | ✗ | ✗ |
| MAME | Windows | 0.149 | ✗ | ✗ | ✓ | ✗ |
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. Mame is... well.. mame.
Dolphin is updated on a near weekly basis and has very good emulation of almost everything. Requirements are very high for even the simplist of games, even then they're issues but if you're into low fps and errors you'll like it.
