Zelda TP finishable?

I don't believe anyone has tried this, however it may be possible. I don't know exactly what you're talking about with INIs (Guess your not the only one whos 'noob' ) but i don't think you'll have much trouble if it runs properly from the start.

Just remember these things:
- Use Dual Core
- Use DynaRec

It will greatly improve speed, but your machine may be too fast (and you'll need to find a way to limit the frames. NVidia Control Panels Vsync and Triple Buffering options may prove useful.)
That's about it. And of course, you need 64-bit for it to run worth a damn, but you seem to already be aware.

How the heck do you get DynaRec? It should be on my computer I think, but I can't find it.

In terms of technology I'm so incompetent you'd think I'd need help dressing myself each morning, but I seriously have no idea where it is. All I know is my computer is a Vista (Thunder, lightning).

I hope that's helpful to you...

DynaRec is part of the emulator, if I'm not mistaken it is a group of functions used to help speed up the interpretation of the games logic. This enables the emulator to work more efficiently in other areas as well. How ever the emulators just have too much overhead with the modern Computer Processor, which uses a CISC architecture while the Broadway (or gecko) uses the RISC architecture which is used in things such as the PowerPC. This change of architecture technically makes the Gamecube "completely" incompatible with our computers. But as has been proven it is possible, albeit through very obscure and illegal means, to reverse engineer this to work on the i386 or a64 based processors.

EDIT:
I said something miss leading, while it is illegal to reverse engineer it for any type of profit it is not illegal to do it for educational purposes only (but we break that rule anyway don't we ¬_¬ *COUGH* compaq *COUGH)
