==Hardware variants=====Triforce===

Triforce games can also be run on a Wii using [https://github.com/FIX94/Nintendont Nintendont]. Patches and gecko codes are not required. Triforce support is essentially unmaintained and lacks features such as LAN connectivity, internal saving (for things such as high scores or F-Zero AX time attack ghosts), and GameCube memory card reading. Mario Cards and F-Zero License Cards can be emulated for the Mario Kart Arcade GP games and F-Zero AX respectively, but linking F-Zero AX to an F-Zero GX save is not possible. Note that this method cannot be used within Dolphin, as Nintendont utilizes the Wii's ARM "Starlet" processor which Dolphin does not emulate(Starlet only exists to run IOS, which Dolphin reimplements anyway).

====Recommended builds for Triforce====

*Another suggestion is to use the latest builds by Crediar, found [https://crediarmega.devnz/crediar/tools/-/tree/main/dolphinfile/ kg1REZzC#tRfsBXw5kZv1zLo05MgBJIdWbwCnIT21_k9IyhsjDAE here].

===Panasonic Q===

The Panasonic Q is capable of using almost all of the GameCube hardware upgrades. A special version of the Game Boy Player was designed for the Q because the Player was designed to fit onto the bottom of the GameCube, and the Q's different bottom form factor kept the Player from being installed. Other features of the Panasonic Q include a backlit information LCD, a front-loading slot disc tray, an optical sound output supporting Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS, a separate subwoofer jack, DVD remote control, and a stainless steel chassis. These high-end features, as well as the aforementioned multimedia playback capabilities, have made the Panasonic Q a popular console to collect.
