Then there's also Dolphin, which can run even on the PS4 with Linux. As others have said, both Wii and Wii U are fully compatible with the GameCube, and you can pick up a Wii for 20 bucks these days. Overall it's possible, but it would take a lot of effort and there's simply no incentive to do so. The GPU might be a bigger issue though, but thankfully the GameCube has a very standard (and very well known) GPU that isn't very hard to emulate, can't say the same about the PS3's GPU though (we haven't even been able to make a Linux driver).

Furthermore, it’s even compatible with Android devices, making it the top choice if you use multiple platforms. In fact, EPSXE is one such PS3 emulator that’s versatile enough to run on all three operating systems. The PS3's CPU has 3.2GHz PowerPC, while the GameCube is at around 400MHz, so there's plenty of room for a PowerPC to PowerPC JIT compiler and then executing the code using the single PPC core, or you can use the SPEs for JIT compilation and leave the main PPC to execute translated code, which would make it even faster. However, that doesn’t mean there aren’t any PS3 emulators that can run on Linux or macOS. It’s an open-source emulator that is currently in the works for Windows and Linux, which is bad news for OSX users. At the moment, Orbital is a work-in-progress program. People in these forums like to say "impossible" without really studying the viability of a project because it's an easy answer, but almost always an incorect one.Īs for Gamecube games on the PS3: I'd say it's completely doable and would produce some really good results if done correctly.Įmulating the CPU would be "simple" as its the same PowerPC arquitecture (same reason why PSP can emulate N64 depite not having nearly any power to do so, they share same CPU architecture so translation is fast). Orbital is the only emulator that could come close to featuring as an actual program in this list of the best PS4 emulators later down the line.

It's hasn't been done but anyone saying its impossible is probably talking out of ignorance (it was also impossible to hack a PS3 via software three years ago until we got PSXploit, it was impossible to run GBA games on the NDS via software a year ago until GBARunner2 happened, it was impossible to emulate N64 on the 3DS a year ago but then Daedalus was ported, etc).
