Haven't looked for any on Gamecube yet.

They may not be perfect but trust me, they do run the games.

wow that's kinda fast... that took them no time at all... I knew there were some for GBA... But that's news! how advanced are they so far?

first of all, like Rez said, the graphics don't make the game.

my two cents:

X-Box- most of the games on X-box are available on GC and PS2. Halo really was an awesome game, but I would not buy an X-box just for Halo. Also, X-box is more susceptable to glitches and bugs.

GC- I love mario and zelda. I personally can't find anything wrong with GC 'cept its narrowed choice of games. oh and smash bros melee. OH YEAH!

PS2- PS2 definitely has the crappiest games. It also has the biggest selection of games. My favorite thing about PS2 is that you can also play PS games on it, and you can get PS games for dirt cheap now.

overall: out of these 3, I would probably get a GamCube, because it has the best selection of awesome games. Mario Sunshine, MP, Zelda, Smash Bros, etc etc.

the system that rules them all: N64. Goldeneye, Starfox, Smash Bros, Perfect Dark, Bomberman (for multi-player purposes only). What more can I say?

I said it before, none of those run commerical games, and probably wont for many years.

I think you're wrong there. I'm a rather "inside" member in the DCEmu/Homebrew scene (i'm actally one of the creators and my site is hosted by DC Emulation) and I know that DC Has fantastic emulation capabilities. As I said before, it's all my systems, yadda yadda.
Other systems such as XBox and PS2 are not as good for emu (Many have slow emulation or poor sound), but they do in fact run many commercial roms. For instance these screenshots: http://ps2.consolevision.com/snesstation.shtml

Okay, well Impetus I actually have a question for you...

I've been in to the DCEmu seen for many years now, I have several of the emulators on CD and running on my Dreamcast, and while there are several good emulators, I can never get a good Genesis or SNES one... (Well the FIRST Genesis Emulator works well, but I lost the files to burn that one to a new disc)

My question is, about the PS2/XBOX scene, how well do they run the SNES/Genesis games? are there some emulators good enough to support them? do I need to mod a PS2 to use the burned CDs, or do they self boot?

For Dreamcast:
SegaGEN is the best Genesis emulator but it is illegal....

DreamSNES is a fantastic, almost-full speed SNES. You can get it at dcemulation.com once it goes back up. PM me and we can talk about details.

The other systems I don't know as much about, but you can see what's new at consolevison.com

I tought the question was about DC/PS2/X-box emulators on PC... My bad. Emulators on DC do work.
