So I was wondering, why aren't there any GameCube ROMs on this site? Is it because they're too difficult to upload? Or is it some legal issue? Please let me know. Thanks again!

There are multiple issues with uploading Gamecube games. 1) There is still money that can be made off of them, so Vizzed cannot consider them to be a form of Abandonware. 2) Gamecube games are not ROMs. They are ISOs because they are disk-based. Because of this, they are simply too big for Vizzed to host them anyway. The amount of bandwidth needed would be absolutely insane --several hundred MBs just for one person to play one game.

So as you can see, uploading Gamecube games is impractical in every way right now.

AuraBlaze :   shoot Aura, I think you pretty much nailed it all down on why we cant have Gamecube games on vizzed..
But would the fact the since the wii is still popular and you can play Gamecube games on the wii make it another reason
via money wise for why we cant have Gamecube games on vizzed?

Since this was posted on GYR, I'm assuming it's a GYR question.

JigSaw :

Is there a reason there aren't Gamecube ROMS on GYR? Or is it the same reason they aren't on Vizzed?

legacyme3 : We don't have enough disk space to host more isos currently its also very risky. Plus hosting gamecube is begging for attention, especially if SOPA passes

SOPA needs to throw itself off a cliff. Why must they always try to take away our fun?

Yeah, down with SOPA and all those other things trying to take away our freedoms! That aside, I appreciate the responses and thanks for your help. Now with that question answered, I have just one more question. WHEN can we put GameCube games on this site? I know all the reasons we can't, but will there ever be a time when we CAN put GameCube games on this site? Once again, all answers will be appreciated. Thanks!

From what I gather the site has to pay for each system used. I base that fact off the current donation drive money being used to add more systems. The games themselves shouldn't take up too much space as they can be compressed.

Local Mods : This question was answered by AuraBlaze and Jigsaw a long time ago. Despite the future implementation of early disc emulators here, GameCube is risky to put on here now. This should be closed before more people start posting here to do the following things:

1. Ask if and when they will be added
2. Ask why they can't even though it's been answered
3. Post reasons they think why it will or won't (because the answer is here)
