Installing on 32bit Ubuntu, new user that would really appreciate the help

[Wdcook3]

I will be building a new pc for my arcade over the summer but I was really hoping to get just a couple games working for the Wii and GC. I've read that there is no support for 5.0 but just to clarify is there anyway at all to install an older version even just to get a few gamecube games playing? I do apologize, I wish this was as easy as my higher end windows PC. Just installed, threw in the game and it all worked perfectly lol. But I do highly appreciate your help and hope I am not asking to much for something like this. I realize it will not play the best either but I would just like to have it working at all!
