I7 7700k (4.2Ghz, not big on overclocking myself, just the increased single core speed + the auto-overclock option on motherboard for sake of a tiny gain.) Shame Nintendo doesn't like people enjoying their old but gold games. and I really love AC:GC (aka AC:PG), Double Dash, and Wind Waker, but can no longer play them much at all, despite the compromises on the gamecube, the TV is just eye irritating and unusable. TL DR I have the proper items to play the gamecube, say if I can even repair some of the issues + find a NEW CRT TV that isn't dying/displaying symptoms of dying. The GameCube unfortunately has some issues, either my original controller ( - ) died on the plug end, OR the Player1 port on the GC is bad, need to test it on the Wii sometime, but also memory slot A neds to have memory cards pushed up/supported a bit since the connection seems to be loose, and the 2nd controller I h ave (forgot how I obtained it, it's a bit grimy, it's a Nickelodeon Orange color (technically Yellow-Orange) the left analog stick moves, but doesn't detect until you get to the edges, meaning in Mario Kart: Double Dash you wind up ONLY drifting. I am looking to emulate since th CRT TV is dying, pretty fast now. I have recently installed Dolphin, this is my first foray into emulating, I own a CRT TV, I own an RF Modulator, I own a GameCube, the game itself, 4 memory cards, and 2 controllers.

Further help for save file recovery from memory cards (if possible) or perhaps ways to repair loose memory card slots and/or replace controller ports if possible on the GameCube would be appreciated, but by no means is the original issue, more of a 'how to play this now?' question, thank you very much r/Roms and also I guess thank you as well u/BulletBarry for talking about emulation in some of your old videos as well as name-dropping 'Dolphin' and being openly advocating the purpose, reason, and good points on why emulation *should* be totally fine. I have found the ROM for AC:GC, thank you to u/sherl0k for linking me to edge|emulation indirectly on the 'Gamecube links are dead' thread.
