→Triforce Arcade Board: Should this section be its own page, like the GameCube and Wii? It would be like combining the Wii with the GameCube.
The [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triforce_%28arcade_system_board%29#Triforce Triforce] is an arcade system board developed jointly by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Namco Namco], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sega Sega], and Nintendo, with the first games appearing in 2002. The system hardware is based on the Nintendo GameCube with several differences, such as provisions for add-ons such as Sega's GD-ROM system and upgradeable RAM modules. Wii emulators can also play Triforce games.
You'll need the [https://dolphin-emu.org/download/list/Triforce/ Triforce branch] of Dolphin. The main branch doesn't even emulate itbut it had code for it. Support was eventually removed from the main branch by September 2016, but the old branch remains.<ref>https://dolphin-emu.org/blog/2016/09/01/dolphin-progress-report-august-2016</ref> The developers plan to bring it back, but only if there is interest and the code is cleaned up.
However, compatibility is abysmal and there are lots of unemulated features preventing the games from even booting without patches like in the case of both Mario Kart GP games (obviously thus requiring "Enable Cheats"). Check the Dolphin Wiki for more info. Various features including the NamCam camera, the save transfer functionality, and the multiple Triforce board networking, are simply not emulated.
