I'm considering getting a Gamecube. Is there a way to play gc roms off the gamecube itself, or are the roms here strictly for pc emulation?
Yes, there is a way to play Gamecube ISO/ROM's on a Gamecube, but the Gamecube needs to be modded. Another option is to mod a Wii (Which is much easier), and play Gamecube ISO's from here on it. The Gamecube really isn't the easiest console to play Gamecube ISO's on. I highly recommend visiting a site called thepurplecube, everything you need to know about modded Gamecube/Wiis is there. http://thepurplecube.org/
