;[[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. As of May 2021, Dolphin's compatibility is at 96% of the games being playable or perfect.

To boot the GameCube's original BIOS, you need a dump from real hardware. Dolphin does not require it to load games but can be set to use it if desired. Current development builds have introduced a feature allowing users to load the BIOS directly from the interface in the Tools list without needing to load a game, as well as hybrid XFB. If you're on the stable release, use XFB Virtual and disable "Skip BIOS" in the GameCube options; you will have to load a GameCube title so that the startup animation begins , and like on the original console, you hold the first controller's A button down and the system will send you into the main menu instead of booting the game. You can then switch to another game with Change Disc, or you can explore the BIOS.

The GC/Dolphin includes a GBA Link feature is partially emulated; the Dolphin team collaborated with core based on [[VisualBoy Advance#VBA-M|VBA-MmGBA]] developers that is tied to get the feature supported in the emulatorsGameCube emulation, which allows for a very stable connection that works with features such as save states and netplay. Since VBA-M has fallen out Dolphin can also connect to standalone versions of favor, being replaced by [[mGBA]], the Dolphin team has since been developing a way ; this is necessary for other emulators to use the feature. Some GameCube games make use of the GBA's some less commonly used features such as [[GBA e-Reader emulators|e-Reader]]; this is not supported at support or cases where the GBA has to be disconnected from the GameCube. Both of these can be enabled by going into the controller settings and assigning the momentGBA to one or more ports. To get it working, The general config menu also allows you need to specify a recent copy of Dolphin and VBAGBA rom to be used if using the built-M, and DSP-LLE enabledin GBA core.

The [[wikipedia:List_of_Sega_arcade_system_boards#Triforce|Triforce]] is an [[:Category:Arcade|arcade system board]] developed jointly by [[wikipedia:Namco|Namco]], [[wikipedia:Sega|Sega]], and Nintendo, with the first games appearing in 2002.

Nevertheless, [https://dolphin-ROM system and upgradeable RAM modulesemu. [[Wii emulators]org/download/list/Triforce/ a branch] remains, and it can also still be used, albeit with some difficulty. Compatibility is patchy, and while all games boot, many require memory patches via gecko codes to progress beyond error screens. This is further compounded by the abundance of patched or modified dumps floating around, with many having patched headers for use with Nintendont, or being renamed versions of their GameCube counterparts. This is most prevalent with Mario Kart Arcade GP 1 & 2, with there being no (public) good dumps at all. The site that previously hosted the gecko codes for Triforce games has since shut down, and the replacement site does not have codes for Triforce games, requiring codes to be manually downloaded from the Wayback Machine. Furthermore, games have multiple revisions, and codes only work on specific revisions. To use the Triforce branch, certain settings must be modified:* Under Config/GameCube, SP1 and Port 1 need to be assigned to AM-Baseboard.* To actually play Triforce games, cheats need to be enabled. While the Mario Kart games have patches on their Dolphin Wiki pages, codes for other games should be downloaded from [https://web.archive.org/web/20181024045747/http://www.geckocodes.org/ here].

Compatibility ==Panasonic Q==[[File:Panasonic Q.png|210px|thumb|left|The Panasonic Q GameCube console.]]The Panasonic Q (sometimes referred to as GameQ by Gamecube fans) is abysmala hybrid version of the GameCube with a DVD player manufactured by Panasonic in cooperation with Nintendo. The system was officially released only in Japan. A feature of its main competitors Xbox and PlayStation 2, the GameCube lacked commercial DVD movie playback functionality due to the use of the Nintendo optical discs format for games and there are lots of unemulated features preventing the correspondingly small disc tray.Initially, the Panasonic Q was only able to play games and DVDs from even booting without patches like both Mario Kart GP Japan; however, a modified version, which could play American gamesand DVDs, began to be sold from Import shops, making it a popular console to import from Japan. The unit was priced at around ¥41,000 JPY and the modified version was priced at ¥46,000 JPY.The Panasonic Q is capable of using almost all of the GameCube hardware upgrades.
