I remember reading a bit about a working Gamecube emulator. They were running Wind Waker, but all the polygons were transparent; made things look really wierd. I don't think there's a Gamecube emulator available to the public.
A hundred years from now, they will gaze upon my work and marvel at my skills but never know my name. And that will be good enough for me.

well, thats the thing. that is the site where i got the screen shots from and i did download the emulator they have on the site. but, like idiots, they ZIPPED the emulator, rather than .rar'ing it. and as most computer geeks know, when you ZIP something, folders within the directory zipped are al merged, as opposed to rar'ing it, which maintains each subfolder. since all of the subfolders have been merged into one big zip file, the emulator wont work, and i dont know what to name certain folders and how many there should be. im almost positive that at least one must be called "Plugin" or "Plugins", but thats just one. there could be a lot... thats why im curious if anyone has a WORKING copy, subfolders intact and all.

You fail it! Zips maintain folder information, so you must be extracting it wrong. I just checked this right now, and the folder data is fine.

Or, enable the checkbox that says maintain folder indexing or whatever it is. Or, load the zip in winrar, since you obviously have it too.

not sure if were allowed to talk about this kinda stuff but i'm gonna check now if i can just load it up in my dvd drive and make an iso with alcohol 120% *cough* since i use that to make all my ps2 and xbox iso files. (er.. i swear i dont anyone who works for microsoft of sony) EDIT - ok that did'nt work. checking the dolphin forum for tools. mabye they know of an iso maker for GC games EDIT 2 - ok after a bit of reading, you need a gamecube with a network adaptor and a cable. you have to mess around with your IP settings and then get a few tools so when you boot up a game, you make an image of it on your pc. unfortunatly GC games dont run on dvd drives in a pc. bummer. so much for that then.
