Although we may not provide you with roms, use your good friend google. be aware of that you sometimes need to download multiple files, and that these files are pretty big.

Is the Gamecube emulators worth it? I mean, do they actually play games yet?

yes i thought they do but with a lot of trouble and big files.

Not really, and not in a remarkably complete state. GC emulation is still very much a WIP. You also need a very meaty PC to even start getting something running, and even then the results usually aren't worth it.

Maybe in a year or 3 but a bit of a waste of time at the moment IMO.

Ok, Have you actually tried it, and recently? (And more than one game).
I wonder this because someone else told me he played Zelda Wind Waker fine on his PC.

Ok dude look a little while back Rockman and Forte was running two games almost perfecly using dolphin. These games were TLOZ: TP and TLOZ: WW.

I don't know all the specs but he was using two PC's to run it. It looked to me he was using XP so he probably was using two of his last generation computers. Now if you have a very modern PC with all the works you probably won't have a problem running a GC game. Now if you have what I have a last generation PC and only one you can expect to have some problems. And also what you want to do is google the game and put Mininova in front of it. And you should find what your looking for. And remember check the comments box.

even if it doesnt work quite well at the moment, you could start testing and learning so later on you can start off fast, so it wouldn't be a waste. still i think it is possible to run gc games almost perfectly with very high specs and very few games + the right plugins.{not now actually but i think in near future.} btw how could you see on this pictures it was running with great fps, so it proberly wasn't yet flawless, but that's my opinion

i've tried it but my laptop can't handle it {like i expected} but i've learned much from it.

First of all, don't call me 'Dude'.
What do you mean 2 PC's??? Are you talking about 2 core processors?

As for generation PC's I don't use those terms since the lines between them are not sharp enough. You could have 4 core processor but a shitty old graphics card. What generation is that? It's fine when you talk about consoles but I find it hard to apply the term to PC's. So can you be more specific, please?

And I didn't need or never asked for info about where to get a game. I have access to GC-games, just want to know if it's worth my time yet.

But yesterday I tried out Super Puzzle Bobble All Stars. It took forever to start and then it ran at 6-7fps. Using Tick modifier 4 (is that some kind of frame skip?) it rose to 12-13fps. Enabling Dynarec it went up to 16. (Modifier 4 + dynarec sends it up to between 25 and 55fps). oh, and on Tick 4 the screens flickers alot.

Are there any other recommended graphic plugins?
And another thing, I can't configure my gamepad. Is there any other pad plugins recommended?

[FatTrucker]

As I said, its still a WIP, meaning compatibility is variable, many things don't work properly and there needs to be lots of different configuration done just to get different games visibly moving, let alone moving at a playable frame rate.

Everyone jumped in stating that was wrong and rockman has done this and they've seen that etc. The fact is the emulation isn't that good yet. You might see some usable results with a quick Core2Duo, 2Gb+Ram and a decent GPU but even then there are only a few titles that might run and they won't run flawlessly without bugs.

To state any different will just see the boards swamped with requests from people trying to get their GC emulators working when in most cases there aren't actually any solutions.

IMO for anyone to say GC emulation 'works' in the sense that you can play most GC games on it at a playable frame rate without bugs is just spreading misinformation.

So I would wait a while until things improve.
