Your DVD drive cannot read it. Read the stickies in the Dolphin forum for the answers to your question.

How do you emulate a gamecube game because my computer doesn't detect my game when I put it in the disk drive.

By using search you would be known by now than it does not work like that (Only GC-console reads GC-games from GC-disk) and before you ask, you don't have powerful enough computer to run games anyway.

Update: allso later versions of nintendo console might read them too..

I used search :p .. and found yagcd

Update: it describes at chapter "13 DVD Structure" information which is not compatible with your CD and/or DVD drive.

Update2: and how I know about your computer .. mainly GC emulators are for windows. there are not yet manufactured computer which whould emulate GC full speed from Windows.

I want to emulate Metroid Prime. Please. Don't laugh.

I don't laugh.. but it's impossible at a moment. It would be cheaper to buy that game and actual GC console .. that trying to get computer where it's playable at a moment.

update: MP requires about 50 / 60 fps .. my 2 ghz computer renders 1 - 3 fps .. and that is not all what it requires. Everything is not emulated.

I already have the console and the game. I just want to be flexible in where I can play it. I new to emulation so don't laugh at me if I donn't know much.

at a moment ..all consoles which are more than 23 bits .. are quite slow or not easy to emulate. That includes GC, PS2, XBOX and all consoles after those.

Emulators do exist but their capabilities are too limited or we don't have (yet) enough math processing in our computers.

GC is powerful enough to emulate N64... at full speed. It's several CPUs makes it difficult to study and emulate. All CPUs must be emulated, we don't have hardware at PC-side to do it without emulation.

Update: Nintendo 64 is 64 bit and could possibly be same case .. but that console has existed so long time than emulation programmers has had time to get know to it.

according to wikipedia ..
The N64 was released on June 23, 1996 in Japan, September 29, 1996 in North America, 1 March 1997 in Europe/Australia and September 1, 1997 in France.

I'm closing this because there's really no place for it to go. Computer disk drives don't read GC disks, and GC emulators are too slow on current hardware to make them a viable option (compared to the console itself). Any further questions regarding GC emulation should be asked in one of the GC forums.
