by far my favorite console of all time since i first got it, i love pretty much everything on it. someone actually ported a game to the gamecube in the modern day (albeit it needs Swiss, a homebrew app to run) and it's just so cool to see that it refuses to die

I haven't powered my gamecube on in the 8mo since I moved, but I also now have a steam deck, so I've been playing the heck out of Eternal Darkness via emulator

Uh, I haven't even thought about that possibility. Which emulator are you using?

They're probably using Dolphin. That's the one I'm trying to use at least

I ended up installing retrodeck (I think, it's been a minute since I booted my deck - modded Minecraft has been my obsession lately) and it's pretty slick. Not sure what emulator specifically is running under the hood, but it lets me drop ROMS into platform folders and it functions like the old MAME packages where it's all in a simple to use dashboard to launch games.

It's definitely worth it. I bought a 512gb sd card and put everything on there and it's been fantastic
