WhineCube (GameCube)

WhineCube was a promising GameCube emulator for Windows written in C++. The game can play a series of homebrew games and a few commercial games. Developed by Masken, this project is able to load and execute DOL, ELF, or GCM format executables with graphics, audio, DVD, and pad emulation.

WhineCube was last updated back in 2008. Although it was never able to achieve much compatibility with commercial games, it was successful in making progress in the other areas of emulation - becoming extremely beneficial to other emulators such as Dolphin. The project's documentation of how BBA network works and other low-level functionality of the console was used by other emulators - further improving GameCube emulation in general. Although WhineCube can theoretically run many games, it is prone to framerate drops that most games are actually unplayable due to performance issues.

Development of the project has been halted in favor of the development of the Dolphin emulator.
