The first Gamecube emulator to play commercial games has had a preview release! I have tried several games with Dolphin, and I'm pretty surprised at how well some of the games work. There's obviously still a ton of work to do, but kudos to the authors for what they've already accomplished. This, along with the new GC-Linux project successes (it partially boots now) has given an amazing 1-2 punch to the GC community. Gamecube emulators are available here.

I have been working on Gamecube development in the past few weeks, and am happy to announce the release of my first utility/Gamecube executable! Gamecube Broadband Adapter Debugger v0.1 will let you experiment with the Gamecube BBA by letter you switch speed modes and viewing and changing registers. If you've got a Gamecube, BBA, and Phantasy Star Online, check it out! Hopefully you'll see more releases from me in the future.

Rork has resigned. I did not receive any more updates from him. Positions are now open for every section again.

Happy New Year!

Today, believe it or not, is the 6th anniversary of Patent Pending! I have a working implementation of the database as well as a new template system, and will be adding content as I have time. As an example, you can check out the NES Game Genie codes that Rork submitted a few months ago. I'll be uploading a bunch of emulators when I get the chance. Ignore the broken links; they will be fixed in time. Rork is currently working on the MOD section. More to come!!

What, an update? Yes! After a few years without update, I want to lay out the plans for the future: Implement a database (for real this time). I already have the basic functionality done and it will be integrated into existing pages soon. Next, I need to add search and sorting capability. Implement a news system. This shouldn't be too bad once the database is done. Coupled with the database, this will make it far easier to manage the site. Redesign the website. I'm planning on redesigning the site to utilize the latest web standards/eye candy and extensive DHTML. This will mean a (temporary, at least) drop in support for legacy browsers. I don't think that will be a problem, though and hopefully usability will be increased greatly. The database will make it easy to generate simple pages for those who choose them. Also, we have a new staff member, Rork! Rork will be helping update archives, starting with the Music and Codes sections. You can e-mail him here. We could use more staff members; applications accepted. If you'd like to help monetarily, tou can visit our sponsors in the banners above. I'll work on moving them to a less annoying location. I'm not going to give an ETA on when sections will be finished right now, because I don't know how much time I'll have in the future, but I'll stop talking now and get back to working on the database.
