Just wondering.

Thinking of buying a GC just to get mario kart. but I was wondering if this game can be backed up and run on another console, such as the xbox or ps2?.

There this one game I want from GC (mario kart), but I am aware that PS2 and Xbox has lots of mods and more easily access to game. Hence I wanted to find out if GC games can be backed and using an emulator run another console.

Thz.

So, I gather this:

1. GC games can be backed up using a dvd and a PC. Good, I'll use the magic of google to find out how.

2. Can a GC emulator be installed on a ps2 or xbox?.

OK.

Decided to buy the GC just to play mario kart (gotta love that game!!). Anyway, do I need the memory card to play the game? i don't know much about the console.

Moved to general GC emulation64

and yes, GC needs a memory card if you want to save your game progress.

Yeah, they don't even have a full speed GC emulator for high-end PCs. If the Xbox had extremely similar hardware to the GC (which it doesn't) it might be remotely possible for a full speed emulator to be written for it, but that's a moot point. It'll never happen on the PS2 (at least, never at full speed or anywhere near it) as the PS2 has inferior hardware to the GC. So yeah, buy a GC and a mem card and play Mario Kart to your heart's content. :)

The Xbox is almost exactly like a PC from ~2001, and the PS2 is weaker than both Xbox and GC in terms of power. Given that a custom-built dual-core/SLi PC from 2006 cannot run an emulator anywhere near fullspeed in 98%+ games, those consoles would fair a lot worse. You also can't emulate a system on a platform that is weaker than the one you want to emulate. That is just simple logic.

On my way to Target to buy the GC. I'd buy it online or used from ebay but kinda desperate to get the thing today.

Anyway, now that I will be the proud owner of a GC, what mods are available for it?. So that backed up games can be run?. I read that the drive can be changed for a dvd drive, even though it won't entirely fit. Is this true?. Can a HD be installed on the GC?.

Thx
