If you own a PS3 and games you can transfer the bios/roms to your PC and its legal. What is illegal is using the bios/roms that isnt yours. Which is why companies dont go after them, because they cant. As others have said, both Wii and Wii U are fully compatible with the GameCube, and you can pick up a Wii for 20 bucks these days. Answer (1 of 2): Yes emulators are legal in every single way according to the high court. Overall it's possible, but it would take a lot of effort and there's simply no incentive to do so. The GPU might be a bigger issue though, but thankfully the GameCube has a very standard (and very well known) GPU that isn't very hard to emulate, can't say the same about the PS3's GPU though (we haven't even been able to make a Linux driver).
The PS3's CPU has 3.2GHz PowerPC, while the GameCube is at around 400MHz, so there's plenty of room for a PowerPC to PowerPC JIT compiler and then executing the code using the single PPC core, or you can use the SPEs for JIT compilation and leave the main PPC to execute translated code, which would make it even faster. People in these forums like to say "impossible" without really studying the viability of a project because it's an easy answer, but almost always an incorect one.Īs for Gamecube games on the PS3: I'd say it's completely doable and would produce some really good results if done correctly.Įmulating the CPU would be "simple" as its the same PowerPC arquitecture (same reason why PSP can emulate N64 depite not having nearly any power to do so, they share same CPU architecture so translation is fast).
Reddit where to download ps3 emulator games software#
It's hasn't been done but anyone saying its impossible is probably talking out of ignorance (it was also impossible to hack a PS3 via software three years ago until we got PSXploit, it was impossible to run GBA games on the NDS via software a year ago until GBARunner2 happened, it was impossible to emulate N64 on the 3DS a year ago but then Daedalus was ported, etc).
