The '''[[gametech:Nintendo GameCube|GameCube]]''' ('''GCN'''/'''NGC''') is a 32-bit sixth-generation console released by [[wikipedia:Nintendo|Nintendo]] on November 18, 2001for {{inflation|USD|199|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.

Nintendo produced a [[Wikipedia:Nintendo GameCube – Game Boy Advance link cable|special cable]] (<code>DOL-011</code>) that allowed connectivity with the [[Game Boy Advance emulators|Game Boy Advance]] in specific games. Up to four ports could be taken up for the game. While the third-generation Pokémon games are the prime example of it being used in conjunction with Colosseum, XD, or Pokémon Box, they aren't the only games to do so.
The GC/GBA Link feature is partially emulated; the Dolphin team collaborated with [[VisualBoy Advance#VBA-M|VBA-M]] developers to get the feature supported in the emulators. Since VBA-M has fallen out of favor to , being replaced by [[mGBA]], the Dolphin team has since been developing a way for other emulators to use the feature. Some GameCube games make use of the GBA's [[GBA e-Reader emulators|e-Reader]]; this is not supported at the moment.
To get it working, you need a recent copy of Dolphin and VBA-M, and DSP-LLE enabled.
===Microphone===
This was an accessory bundled with ''Mario Party 6& Mario Party 7'' that allowed the GameCube to receive audio from the memory card slot. There were also other games known to support it.
In Dolphin, set slot B in the emulator settings to the microphone. In the operating system, you then make your default recording device available.
