How long has the Dreamcast been out? like 3 or 4 years? It took what? 1 1/2 or 2 years for a DC emulator to come out, It'll probably be another 2 or three before it even starts to be able to play commercial games.
So probably a perfect Gamecube emulator will come out... never, but one that's pretty close will probably get here in six or seven years.

sounds harder than dc to me, but i heard that ppl have managed to rip all the data off a GC disc in this site (sounds pretty real 2me)

I still say somebody needs to remove the drive from their GC and install it in their pc and try to write a driver for it. Then it will be very easy to write an emu for it. And I was reading that link. the gc disks dont spin backwards. Its just a bunch of bull. Runs clockwise just like a normal disk.

it wont be, its not like GC is as easy to emulate as PSX or N64, its better hardware and more complex. And also it would require like 3ghz Normal emulation (mabie more) to emulate it at a decent speed any way. HLE would be a good route to go tho for a foundation for next generation emulation

OK Let's see. This is mostly opinion but:
1) Noone has ripped a gamecube disk, it is a proprietary DVD format, if they did it would be big news. "Writing a driver for the drive" is nowhere nearly as easy as it may sound. That kind of thing only works on movies. 2) If / when they do find a way to rip the contents, they will be encrypted. 3) Only someone with the expertise of Bunny could solve that security problem, and it would take a really long time, and extreme motivation. 4) Once the contents are decrypted noone will have the means to clone much less manufacture a proprietary disk. This is the motivation problem. 5) As for emulation, apparantly there hasn't been much done with PPC according to this thread, much less the GameCube's operating system and other hardware.
If any of this ever happens, it will be a reaaaally long way down the road, and attempts will unlikely be nearly as successful as a dreamcast emulator, if that tells you anything. I'm sure the dreamcast hardware doesn't hold a stick to the complexity of a gamecube.
