The '''[[gametech:Nintendo GameCube|GameCube]]''' ('''GCN'''/'''NGC''') is a 32-bit sixth-generation console released by [[wikipedia:Nintendo|Nintendo]] in on November 18, 2001. It has a IBM PowerPC Gekko CPU at 486 MHz with a ATI Flipper GPU. Nintendo, Namco, and Sega later designed the '''[https://segaretro.org/Triforce Triforce]''' arcade board based on the GameCube, releasing titles for it the next year. The Triforce had a IBM PowerPC "Gekko" at 486 MHz with 24MB of RAM. The GPU was a Custom ATI/Nintendo "Flipper".
Nintendo released the successor, the [[Wii emulators|Wii]], in 2006 where it was revealed to have very similar (albeit more powerful) hardware and compatible interfaces. This meant that the Wii could handle GameCube games natively rather than use emulation. In contrast, when the [[Wii U emulators|Wii U]] was released in 2012 it contained a Wii mode that could use Wii remotes, but didn't have ports for GameCube controllers or supported GameCube games; the controller issue was later resolved with the Super Smash Bros. adapter, but this still didn't allow GameCube titles to be run.

===Comparisons===
*[[Dolphin]] is the emulator of choice for the GameCube, and the first and only emulator for the Wii. It's updated on a near daily basis and has very good emulation of almost every game, though some games have known bugs on their issue trackers. It is the first emulator to [https://dolphin-emu.org/blog/2016/09/06/booting-the-final-gc-game/ boot the full game catalog of a sixth generation home console] (Before any emulator for the same generation rivals like the Dreamcast, PlayStation 2 and Xbox) and did so on September 2016. The developers maintain a wiki containing known bugs, tips, user-provided tests, and much more for every game. System requirements are high, more so for Wii games than GameCube.
*Gekko is still in very early development after being on hiatus for many years and is nowhere near achieving Wii emulation either. For Triforce emulation, [[MAME]] is not optimized for 3D systems yet, nor is Triforce emulation very good either.
