GameCube Linux

From Nintendo-Scene Wiki

This is GNU/Linux on the Nintendo GameCube -- a port of the Linux operating system kernel and assorted GNU userspace utilities to the GameCube video game console from Nintendo.

  • IBM PowerPC, 486 MHz
  • ATI graphics
  • 24+16 MB of RAM
  • 8 cm optical drive
  • (optional) 10/100 Ethernet

As it is a computer with decent RAM and a good CPU, it makes sense to port Linux to this platform.

Linux can be used:

  • to use a GameCube as a thin client
  • to use a GameCube as a multimedia terminal
  • to use a GameCube as a tiny PowerPC-based server
  • as a runtime environment for homebrew development

The GameCube Linux Project is in constant development. You are welcome to contribute!
