I was told that it was possible to play Nintendo Gamecube games on a PC or laptop, but how? Of course with a legal game CD, and everything like Wireless functions work like on the console.

You need the right emulator such as Dolphin. Software emulates the game console on the PC and you can usually load ISO's or Roms. I don't know if the MiniCDs can also be used to play directly in the LW. If necessary, create an ISO from the MiniCD. Hope to have helped.

Legally it is not possible, since the license is far from expired and nintendo will certainly extend the license even for gamecube games. So you are playing illegally because the game is not yours and illegal content has nothing to look for here at girlfriend. Sorry

look for emulator gamecube roms

What should be illegal if he has the original CD?

I probably expressed myself a little badly, I actually asked if it was possible to play a legal Gamecube game, e.g. Bought on eBay to play on the laptop since I don't have a Gamecube console.

Instructions are available for ripping CD's via PC.

Legally difficult. The games are released for the Gamecube / Wii to play you need the console and Nintendo of course wants to sell the console. I also doubt if it's legal.

Would be great if Nintendo would continue to manufacture the console, that they always have to make it so difficult, but of course you are right, I only ask in case I shouldn't find a working Gamecube console.

There's a very good GameCube emulator called "Dophin".

It allows you to play many (not all) GC games on the PC

Look on Ebay there are some offers. Of course, a lot is used and you may have to be willing to use eBay's buyer protection if something is broken.
