Yes, It won't be easy and it will require a good PC to emulate it. It will take some time for the necessary hardware to be available to support emulation of the GameCube. Ahh… but the challenge!Quvack said:Difficult Question...
I mean it'll take ages to RE all the information you need from the GC to be even able to think about an emulator for the system, so I dont think seeing an emulator anytime soon will be a problem... and i think it'd be amazing to see an emulator eventually come out for it.. but if the system is to be emulated, it means that all of the anti-piracy schemes would have to be cracked, which would open the gates up for piracy, and we've seen what thats done before, just look at the Dreamcast![]()
This maybe true. But the rebel in me feels that even if the GameCube was emulated tomorrow, It wouldn't really hurt Nintendo. Nintendo doesn't make money on the system itself, but on the licenses it has with the game developers. If you could put a GameCube disk into your PC and play the game it would acually help Nintendo. (assuming that this was a purchased disk and not a bootleg one.)Quvack said:If the protection on the GC is cracked by anyone related to the emu scene, Nintendo will go nuts at the whole emulation scene again, and well I doubt it'll be pretty..... and emulating and creating "backups" for emulation so early is just wrong, the systems just a baby really.
Yes, lets get started now.Quvack said:So to sum it up, i'd love to eventually see emulators for the system come out, but not for many years... it would be excellent to have documentation available to people about all of the necessary information on the system, but it needs to be done carefully.
I understand your position. This is a "moral decision. You must do as you feel is right.devil:Quvack said:And to answer the question if I would pay for the system to be RE'd? um... im not sure really![]()
besides it was my idea

A GC emulator launched as the GC console becomes popular with some serious (Zelda) title around, just like when UltraHLE was launched around the time Zelda OoT being released in the N64 console.
I am curious, will it require a GeForce3/4 to make the GC emu possible?

Basically yes. The graphics chip is on the same level as Geforce4. With a few added extras and no vertex shader.
