I was wondering since Dolphin can now work with the Wii OS, is it possible to get the Gamecube OS working with it? The reason I'd prefer to get the Gamecube OS working is because I have two Nintendo Gamecubes, one which has an (almost) broken CD drive -- it takes many tries but eventually it might read a disc, and one that works perfectly. I'm interested in trying to hack the Gamecube that barely reads discs at all and extracting the Firmware so that I can try to run it under Dolphin on my PC. It would be useful to have the Gamecube OS running under Dolphin so that you can change settings that apply across all games, as well as manage memory and transfer individual game files from one virtual memory card to another. Is this possible or is it planned in future releases of Dolphin?

You CAN transfer files from one virtual memory card to another. You find it under misc>memcard manager.

Hmm... well it would still be useful to extract the Gamecube Firmware, we could learn a lot about how the gamecube renders games if we could get the original Firmware and reverse engineer it to work on a PC.

I wouldn't doubt that the devs have tried that very thing. Otherwise they'd just be guessing.

Gamecube games dont really use the firmware, they all have their own apploader code
