An emulator is basically (as far as the software that runs on it) a copy of the machine it's emulating and anything that's legal or illegal on a real console is legal or illegal on an emulator. You must own the original game discs just as with a real console.
CONVER GCM TO ISO CODE
Emulation is questionable in terms of legality/morality in some peoples' eyes but officially, providing the emulator contains no copyrighted proprietary code from the console then it's legal. PCSX2 (a Windows/Linux PS2 emulator) is about the best last gen console emulator and still, despite the efforts of the programmers, cannot play PS2 games anywhere near as well as a real PS2.Īs for your original request, you might want to (try Googling, or) look up the Dolphin emulator, it's what I believe to be the most complete Gamecube emulator to date but don't expect your PC to suddenly be a full-fledged Gamecube, it won't happen. As a side note, speed isn't everything either, a fast emulator may be fast because it fails to emulate a certain portion of the original machine that may be essential to run some games yet it might not matter to others if this part of the device doesn't work or is only partially emulated.Īlso factor in that these are not commercial products, they are written by hobbyist programmers in their spare time and while they do a sterling job most of the time, writing software that emulates a machine like this is far from simple and it will take a very long time to do so. My emulation theory may be rather out of date, but simply comparing specifications will not tell you much about how well an emulator will run on a given machine, especially as the emulator cannot be 100% compatible with the real machine. The may seem modest in terms of consoles especially considering current generation machines but bear in mind that as a rough guide a PC must be ~3 times as powerful as the machine you wish to emulate. Any current or last gen console emulators aren't going to be good enough yet, PCs simply do not have the power to emulate these amazing machines. There are Gamecube emulators, though they won't turn your PC in to a Gamecube.
