[@SmashJT]

Great work! I was under the assumption you gutted a Wii and put it inside. I'd imagine the architecture of the Wii would be what Nintendo would use to run this. It's compact enough and able to run GCN games as roms perfectly. Maybe that would make more sense financially for them, but either way, yeah, I'd say this is a long ways off regardless. Really fun video!

[@dedpxl]

and a wii is worth about $20 Australian

[@muddycalendar3292]

dedpxl they are talking about making the parts not the system they can still make them

[@Wuerfel21]

That's what I'd assume, too. The Wii mini wasn't _that_ long ago, they likely still have the tools to make broadway and hollywood chips at reasonable prices. (Especially since they could go for a smaller MEM2) Not sure how expensive HDMI out would be, but GC games don't really need upscaling, simplifying the matter.

Despo THEMLG That isn’t exactly emulation. It’s running the discs through the original software, which is a lot easier then emulation.

[@YellowChoklit]

Peach Pie you could easily softmod the wii and install gamecube games on the wii's channels like you would the virtual console games.

[@MrMarinus18]

They could change some things in the Wii. It requires almost no additional hardware to run Gamecube games. So use the Wii mini as a base and shrink it down. I don't even think it needs to be shrunken that much as it will already be smaller without it's disc drive.

[@sodaddict]

My thoughts exactly, Nintendo could just reproduce the Wii's CPU, add a sleek and modern interface, add more RAM for better loading, and have about 128 gigs of internal storage for 60 games. And vuala, Gamecube Classic

[@MilaMarieRose]

All Nintendo has to do is dig up their Wii tech from 2006 and repackage it as a Gamecube mini. It's not even emulation so compatibility would be 100%. It has to be cheap enough to pull off in 2018.

[@CommodoreFan64]

The problem with that idea is IBM has stopped producing PowerPC chips used in the GameCube - WiiU, and ATI aka AMD no longer produces the Hollywood line of GPU tech used in those 3 consoles, and to get it cheap enough we would need to emulate on an ARM SOC, but it would need to be some seriously custom Linux code from the ground up to get good performance, and would need to be at least a 64bit octocore ARM SOC with 4GB of RAM.

[@UncannyGirl]

2018: Nintendo Fan States: "If Nintendo were to use a board like this, you can imagine they probably would be able to improve performance by working with the manufacturer and original code." 2020: Nintendo releases the 3D All Stars Collection via the CFW Switch Community confirms Nintendo does not have any original development code for any of their first party titles but as they have used ROMs for this collection it also shows they are missing important hardware design documents to create a functional emulator. (CFW Community proves emulation is present by creating tools to patch out games to other ROMs. While many do not function due to the incomplete nature of the Emulators included in the game, enough do to prove it being emulation.) 2022: As a result of a leaked development build of the GB/GBA emulator intended for Switch Online, the CFW Switch Community confirms that not only is Nintendo missing important hardware design documents to create a functional emulator but they no longer have talent at the company who can create the emulator using what design documents they do. The leaked Emulators confirm Nintendo was forced to commission third party developers to create the Emulators. (Once again, the CFW is able to create tools to patch out the ROMs in the leaked software but all of Switch Online consoles confirming them as emulators and ROM collections.) 2024: LOL... every single person who hears these words today.

[@sarkath77]

This could probably be made with a trimmed down Wii board. The Wii has perfect compatibility with all GameCube titles and can function with a shocking amount of its main board removed, provided essential components are replaced. The front controller ports could use the ports from the top of the Wii. It could also play Wii games as a bonus as long as a sensor bar and wireless module is added. Everything could boot from an SD/MicroSD and run to the TV through Wii component cables. It would require the sacrifice of a functioning Wii or salvaging of one in repairable condition, and a lot of work to fine tune component placement, soldering, cooling, etc, but it would be a cool project with a one of a kind product.

[@ajbanimatedstudios5014]

You know the 3ds is a GameCube like powerfully console right?

3DS uses entirely different hardware from the GameCube and it's not powerful enough to emulate it. It would be easier to saceifice a broken Wii for its motherboard and some other parts since it's just upgraded GC hardware anyway.
