Discussion and News forum for all things video game emulation related, or tangentially. Platform agnostic. Mobile is welcome too. We'll keep it loose, but more focused on emulation. Piracy discussion is allowed, that's one reason we're on this domain.
A General Discussion will be stickied for the community to chat in about whatever. Staying on topic isn't important in any GD stickies.
Rules
#1: Obey our domain rules first and foremost.
- TheDude abides. Try to be like The Dude here.
#2: Mundane Tech Support/Game Sourcing Questions need to be kept to the stickied posts, unless it's something novel/interesting others might want to see.
- if the community grows, the stickies should be renewed monthly.
#3: Unless it's at least tangentially relevant to emulation, no politics. Don't get your toque in a knot.
#4: Be nice, and consider reporting an offending hoser of #4 instead of responding to mean people to begin with.
Inspired by negative impressions of /r/ROMS:
#5a: Strive to be polite & patient with noobs asking questions.
- We all start somewhere.
#5b: Doesn't mean be a doormat.
- Report rude, unjustifiably entitled, or ungrateful users asking questions too.

MODERATORS
Literally a stock Gamecube motherboard with an optical drive replacement and odd peripherals.
But still a pain in the ass because everything's rare, bespoke, and designed to prevent a whole different kind of piracy.
Anyone have good recommendations for Triforce games? Never heard of it before Dolphin's blog post.
If I had to guess, F-Zero AX would be one.
...having looked it up, that and the Mario kart arcade game are the only two I recognize, and its a short list. There was apparently an unreleased Star Fox game(!), Virtua Striker soccer (including several sequels), a baseball game with a long title, and a game called Avalon no Kagi (also with sequels) which was a board/card type game and used the card reader.
That basically makes up the entire list, on the website I found.
I really like Mario Kart GP with Namco characters.
I would like GP2 but they added the most annoying announcer ever who constantly calls out position changes.

There weren't many, as Nintendo wasn't all that interested. Notable was F-Zero AX, which had some content crossover with its GameCube counterpart via the memory cards.
Oh hey F-Zero AX, wasn't that game meant to come out to the states but never did for some reason?
