Converting Gamecube to n64

[Shonumi]

If you have access to a Windows machine you could try something like this: https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-howto-extract-rom-from-a-virtual-console-game

Although, be aware, it may not work well with OoT. There are probably other tools that can extract an N64 ROM from the Wii WAD. Or you could just upgrade. Just saying.

I could do that, but I have partitioned my disk twice already and I'm not so sure if I have enough space to do it again, but I could try.
I could also always use Parallels to play that game on Windows, but I would really prefer if there were a way to get Dolphin to work or convert my save file to n64.

So this would allow me to play n64 games with Dolphin? Or am I able to use that to convert my gamecube save into a n64 save?

That would allow you to extract the N64 ROM to use in an N64 emulator. It won't convert the saves as far as I know; I doubt VC saves would be compatible with the saves for any other system.

Well I already have a ROM that I can use in an n64 emulator, the only problem is I really don't want to start from the beginning since I've already gotten so far.

Okay, totally misread your original post. I thought you just wanted to be able to play OoT. Like I said, I don't think there's any way to convert the saves. However the VC saves its data is most likely going to be different from the console the VC emulates. If you want to keep your progress, you're tied to Dolphin.

Is Parallels enough powerful to let the virtual Windows access all your GPU power and run such a performance-demanding app like Dolphin without problems? I would prefer BootCamp.

How will upgrading to OSX 10.10 break stuff for you? Apple designs their updates so that it doesn't break things.

As for that error message, it's because OSX 10.8.5 has older video card drivers that we don't support anymore.

They are supposed to ha ha. Apple sucks at making OSes now, especialy for non-mainstream users. Those who only go to Facebook and use their macs the way Apple want are fine.

Let's stay on-topic here. That has very little to do with solving TheBandit's problem.
