The Gekko GameCube Emulator is the latest, and presumed, best emulator for the Nintendo GameCube. It is not yet released, and release dates are not yet given out, but progress is being made and can be seen at Gekko's forum links. Currently, Gekko supports a number of commercial games. Many play at reasonable speeds even in interpretive mode, while others are still very slow and often contain glitches.

Gekko uses high level emulation techniques along with decent low level support in order to achieve good speed with a number of games. However, the emulator is far from completion, and still falls very short of many of the developers' initial goals. When these goals are met, expect a release to be made.

History of Name

[edit]

This emulator is called Gekko because the CPU (Central Processing Unit) in the Nintendo GameCube is named Gekko.
