I honestly do wish Nintendo would take advantage of that emulator then... I am so much more likely to play Zelda on my GameCube just because the graphics are a lot cleaner. N64 video output is absolutely awful on my HDTV.

Maybe to spike sales in October, since it isn't a normally large Christmas selling season and you won't get the parents in to buy the game for their kids so early, perhaps it makes sense to release a pre-order bonus disc. It's a game that not many have played, and they can use it to their advantage to gain a lot of sales for the title. I'd like to see something along the same lines for Star Fox as well, the reason being that the title might get lost.
They seem to be putting the MP Bundle out there to help promote MP:E, and maybe to promote Star Fox they could offer the same type of bonus. In a season where many games will get lost in the shuffle, such pre-order policies can help distinguish games.

They could go all out - preorder Star Fox Armada, get a bonus disc with Star Fox, 64, and Adventures.

And for a $10 deposit, they'll leave Adventures off the disc!

(Anyway there is something to be said for completism, even if the games suck. I mean, they put Mega Man 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and both Power Battle games on MMAC.)

Hey! Don't talk about Mega Man 4 that way!
There are lot of neat things though for the people that do own all of the things. There is even a program out that runs KDE on your Cube, making it into a Linux based webserver that you can access with your computer
EDIT: Bah, we can still talk specifics about it. Such as how nearly none of the N64 games listed in the emulator itself actually work with the thing. Or how the NES emulator inside of Animal Crossing is way more advanced than the one inside of The Legend of Zelda: Collector's Edition disk.

This is how I've been able to preview Pikmin 2 before the US version get's released
I know what you are probably all thinking about this thing (Arrr!)
But actually, this exploit has lead me to purchasing more games than I otherwise would have as well as opens up the possibility of playing games that would not be available locally. I was dubious on Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles but have since bought the game after trying it out with friends over this method.

What people need to understand is that playing ROMs from your computer through the GameCube (the only method possible right now), simply doesn't work well enough to enjoy a game. The gameplay is usually smooth, but the music skips violently or is just so bad you need to mute it, it takes forever to load through FMVs (if the game ever loads), and just causes a lot of waiting.
It barely gives you a taste of what some games are like, but its still nice having backup copies of all your games. With the ROM sizes, it wouldn't be worth your time downloading them to be honest.

No, PSO3 doesnt work with either PSOLoad or PSUL. Also these loaders were created for home brew not piracy, you can get devkitPPC R7, a legal build environment + sdk (supporting 3d, bba, etc), from www.devkit.tk
... anyway Max Drive Pro will probably make PSO unnessecary

i have heard that it works, but you have to do alot more work because you can't use a LAN IP (192.168.x.x) and have to instead use a WAN IP which makes it a pain to be able to set up...einhard said:
