      Considering the fact that some PSX games even run fine on the Pi 1B and the Dreamcast reportedly runs fine on the Pi 3: might it eventually be possible that a Gamecube emulator (i.e. Dolphin) runs on the Pi 3 (or 4 in the future)? Because I always thought that the Dreamcast was a competitor for the PS2 and the Gamecube. So if a Dreancast runs...

        Probably not, N64 is still very iffy, as well as Dreamcast. Even on PC you need a REALLY decent computer to run GC games.

              Technically, not emulated on the Pi, but if you have a PC with an Nvidia card, you could use Moonlight to stream the Dolphin emulator to the Pi.

              using Android box.

              I've only streamed the PCSX2 emulator so far, but I could report with my findings for getting a Gamecube setup working.

                You can stream things to the Pi? Does that enable you to use your Pi controller? Say if I wanted to stream Street Fighter 5 from a PC to a Pi Arcade cabinet?

                  @GreenHawk84 In theory yes, Using moonlight-embedded and a supporting nVidia Card (Geforce 600 and up) you can stream anything to the pi by adding the desired applications to the list in Geforce Experience. I do this all the time to access my Steam Library, I have a Windows 7 box tucked away in a closet since i don't use it for anything else. As for the Pi controller though I'm not sure, i guess if it works for Emulation Station as a basic controller input device, all you really need to do is map the control input? (Im using a wired 360 controller which works flawlessly) I'm not sure how those work specifically.

                    Maybe in the future when they launch the raspberry 4? Would be cool.
