Atm no version, unless you port it yourself. I would say, drop this thought before you think any more of it, it's a waste of time... And yeah, that's a cazy idea :p

I prey, not pray.
Well, just because it has the same processor doesn't guarentee that the overall hardware environment is the same (more specifically, memory addresses and mapping, display hardware, network hardware, etc, which on a GC are way differen than a PC, and I guarentee you that the linux kernel isn't compatible with it without quite a bit of modification.)

I bet you that some linux hacker will do it eventually though; it happens a lot these days. (but then again, this is not a PS2 or xbox we are talking about)

Just because it can execute PPC code does not mean linux will RUN on the system. There are alot of other factors which you must consider, lightknight.

The code running on the processor also has to communicate with the other chips around it - co-processors and other stuff
The operating system is the interface for the applications to talk to the hardware (on pc's to talk to the different types of hardware in a generalized way - this is what drivers are for ;))

Well durrr, it works because the Animal Crossing you downloaded is identical to the one you'd BUY AT A STORE you cheap fuck. In other words, Animal Crossing was designed to run on the GameCube's hardware in the first place (shut up, I know it was originally N64, go away). Linux doesn't have any versions that run on GameCube's hardware though.

ha, i still by game cube games.but still i like to try them out before i keep them!i had 3 of them, mario sun shine, metriod prime, and star fox advetures which got stolen!!!!!!!!!!!!!after paying $25.00 usa for it used.that is one reason i am for the ngc emulation, so that we the people who owns the games can have abackup, and can have a way of playing the backup on the cube!

so that if someone steals your ngc game you can still play the backup on your ngc!!

and i mean the animal crossing demo from where you download from dextrose.it's not a game it's just a program that allows you to load your gcms onto you ngc.besides i only download the games i own to keep them backed up!and the ones i don't own i buy later, on after if i like them!!and i delete the ones i don't own after 24hrs is up!

Tagrineth is a girl.... and let's not have flames for the sake of it hey Cyryl- I noticed you doing much the same the other day.

If you disagree with what someone is saying, please try to do so in an adult manner, rather than in a mocking one.

Yessir. In fact.. I move to have that post stricken from the thread. I was in quite a strange moment early this morning. Wow.. I only half-way remember even making that post. Definitely in bad taste coming from me. :yucky:

:yawn: I need more :sleeping: . Heh...

My apologies. Especially to Tag. *feels even worse since you're a girl* Man.. Didn't expect that one. Heh.. :p

EDIT:

I felt a need to show more humility in my embarrassment... Here goes...

:blush:

Yeah.. Not sure what's gotten into me. Guess life has been a bit rough lately.

:p

In the future just smack me and tell me to put my sorry arse to bed. Heh..

:beer: is on ME. Cheers!

Cyryl, you are officially a dumbass. =P I was being facetious with my previous post, anyway - notice the ^^; at the end?

Umm... Maybe I deserved that? Heh... Erm... ??

Not sure what the ^^; is. If I look at it for a few seconds and try to see something in it, it looks like a smiley face in the abstract nature of a Van Goh piece...but I'm not quite sure. :p

*shrugs* Oh well. I tried. I'm just a tech after all. Not the most socially adept I suppose. :borg:
