emulating a gamecube on my laptop

[garrendesares]

There is a soft mod for the GameCube but it's not the best some games will lag due to disc speed of DVD-/+R vs Retail discs is slower not all games lag though the mod uses GCoS there are several ways of running that my fav was via the Max Drive Pro because that made it very easy to run there is also an Action Replay method that does work but is a lil more tricky to work

i wasnt aware they made discs that small, and i know of that mod but i dont have the means to try it (no discs and no ar for the gamecube)

im having the exact same problem here. I want to play the Zelda games for the gamecube but if I have to walk through the entire game at 50% fps, then its going to be too frustrating for me cuz I tend to die a lot. I read somewhere that the issue here is that emulating a system requires a lot more processing power than the system itself uses. so, even though your specs seem like they ought to blow the gamecube into outer space, the emulation still lags. there is a youtube video I watched where a seemingly computer-savvy child taught me how to configure my Dolphin emulator for optimum performance, and it did increase my fps by about 125-150%, depending on what was happening on the screen, that still only got me to about 50% fps, and the fact that it speeds up and slows down depending on how much it has to render is still one of the more aggravating issues. im wondering if anyone has made versions of the Zelda games that decompile directly to windows, but im a bit cautious about downloading exe files anyway (you should've seen all the filth that was included in a MS DOS games torrent that I downloaded).

its not a problem it was something i was wondering as i have a low quality laptop. and yeah, to emulate something your computer needs to be alot powerful than the thing its emulating, which is why we only now have a working ps2 emulator and we still dont have a ps3 emulator yet. and when your dealing with games, stay away from torrents or that will happen, and as far as i know, there arnt any zelda games developed for the pc.
