Personally, I like the idea of using the Cell on my PlayStation 3 to run a GameCube emulator, especially since there are drivers that will allow the controller to be used on the computer.Forums New posts Search forums.

By doing this, you can allow people to run Dolphin and it's games under a native environment, assuming they have a PowerPC processor.

You don't need to know how to program specifically for the cell processor.Īll you'd need to do is compile the Dolphin source code with a PowerPC compiler gcc is the compiler that is explained in the link below while on a PS3 or any type of computer that Yellow Dog Linux supports. You guys should do just that with Dolphin. I found a page with detailed instructions on how to run linux and make programs that will work effectively with the Cell processor. The bigger Playstation 3's can also run Linux. I did my research on the Cell and found out it also uses PowerPC architecture. I've been brain-raped by the PS3's awesome power and potential to where I wanted to learn how to program for the PS3 and the Cell Processor. It got me thinking that, if you were to compile your source code with a PowerPC processor that can be runned by a general Operating system, such as Linux, you could basically create your own version of a GameCube operating system because GameCube games run natively on a PowerPC instruction set. I was actually surprised to hear that, seeing as that also means there's a way to convert PowerPC's instruction set to run on an x86 and 圆4 processor. I asked my friend how the hell it would run slow on 6 or 4 gigs of ram in 64 bit mode and he said that the GameCube processor is a PowerPC processor. I've used your emulator on a gaming laptop apparently a gaming laptop it looked more like a really good casual laptop with 6 gigs of ramand I noticed generally slow performance levels with Super Smash Brothers Melee. You can simply compile the source code if you run Yellow Dog Linux on a hardware configuration that it supports and by using the GCC compiler explained in the link below. It would also allow people like me to not have to buy an enthusiast PC build if I already have a working PowerPC processor. However, I would like to know if you have considered compiling under a PowerPC processor? It would benefit performance wise i think, since the GameCube runs natively on a PowerPC architecture. Hi, I have experienced your emulator and the progress is incredible on it. EmuVR - Play Retro games in virtual reality! - My virtual mancave Thread Rating: 2 Vote s - 3 Average 1 2 3 4 5.
