Salamander Posted July 17, 2013 Author Share Posted July 17, 2013 sorry. I failed to say that I've seen most emulators' readme files saying it could be done, & yet, they didn't describe how to do so. that's why I need some help on doing this. if it could be done on a cd-r disc, they sure didn't say so. btw, the gamecube uses mini discs on most of their games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldenegg Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 You need to mod your GameCube in order to do that. You're better off with the SD card solution and run the emulators off a card instead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salamander Posted July 17, 2013 Author Share Posted July 17, 2013 My gamecube is modded. Do I have to use cd-r mini discs to burn emulators? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldenegg Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 You should use mini DVD-R disks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldSchoolRetroGamer Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 My gamecube is modded. Do I have to use cd-r mini discs to burn emulators? You use mini DVD-r OR you get a replacement lid that allows use of full size DVD-r, as a last resort you could remove the cover entirely to boot full size DVD-r.

Salamander Posted July 18, 2013 Author Share Posted July 18, 2013 so i don't use a mini DVD-RW, right? cause that's what I've been using Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldenegg Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 (edited) I can't say for certain whether the system can read RW media. EDIT: Also, it should be noted that the GameCube can be very finicky with recordable media in general. I've come across several systems which wouldn't read any recordable media. A couple of those systems were made to read recordable media by adjusting the laser, but I own a system where even that doesn't help.

OldSchoolRetroGamer Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 (edited) so i don't use a mini DVD-RW, right? cause that's what I've been using In general systems that can boot from record-able media prefer CD-r or DVD-r are recommended for best results. Meaning if the optical drive was made for CD media than use CD-r if it primarily used DVD media use DVD-r.

Salamander Posted July 25, 2013 Author Share Posted July 25, 2013 i'll think i'll try the cd-r mini discs 1st. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldSchoolRetroGamer Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 (edited) i'll think i'll try the cd-r mini discs 1st. thanks Er, for gamecube you mean DVD-r right? All my backups are full sized and mini DVD-r. If you do mean CD-r let me know if that works for you............... This thread seems to confirm DVD-r or mini DVD-r........ http://128bit.me/ind...p?topic=25062.0 As does THIS thread: Step 2: Here you have 2 options. You can either buy some blank Mini-DVD's (recommended) from you favorite store or online retailer, OR you can buy a replacement top for your GC and use Standard DVD-R (Note it MUST beDVD-R not +R, +RW or -RW). http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/292668 Edited July 25, 2013 by OldSchoolRetroGamer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaWarrior Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 How good is the Emulators like on the NES, SNES on the Gamecube There's no Videos on YouTube about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldSchoolRetroGamer Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 (edited) How good is the Emulators like on the NES, SNES on the Gamecube There's no Videos on YouTube about it Hmmm not sure but considering even some N64 games were converted and played pretty good I suspect others would be good though not aware if there even is NES/SNES emulators for it.....I even have some bootable N64 games that load right up on my modchipped Gamecube. hmmm spoke too soon, here are some old links but touches on the subject at least: Easy Guide to Playing SNES on the gamecube http://forums.afterd...view.cfm/373765 Emulators on Gamecube http://www.zophar.ne...s/gamecube.html snes9x-gx https://code.google.com/p/snes9x-gx/ Edited August 23, 2013 by OldSchoolRetroGamer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbd30 Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 (edited) SNES9X was ported to the Gamecube. It's probably decent. http://code.google.com/p/snes9x-gx/ Edited August 24, 2013 by mbd30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toptenmaterial Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Hi, I'd like to bump this. I'm picking up a GameCube with some mods. I'm wondering if anyone has had good luck getting emulators to run smoothly. Please let me know about your experiences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
