Hey there guys, I purchased a full licence for Launchbox. Everything works well for other emulators and isos and roms. They load directly from LB with no problems. The only system that doesn't load is Gamecube. I am not sure what's going on. I need to let you guys know that I have renamed all the games to Japanese for my kids. All the game titles and discriptions are in Japanese. When I try to run the Gamecube games from LB or BB it goes to a loading screen with the CD spinning but then it says the specified file does not exist. I have checked the path and everything is fine. Am I doing something wrong?
OK, I am very confused! After changing a little even my Wii games do not load anymore. What should I do? Sorry to be a pain guys. I followed the tutorial videos for all systems and had no problems for any other system but Gamecube, and now Gamecube and Wii will not load. The other systems load wonderfully!

Still haven't had any luck guys. I reread some tutorials, watched some tutorial videos and am still stuck. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm trying to get this done for my sons birthday. Here are some screenshots of the Emulator info, the error I get and the Locations of the Emulator and Isos.
OK, here is the issue. I think I figured it out. Lordmonkus sent me a message. He thinks the issue is that I have all my Gamecube roms named with Japanese titles. I changed one of them and it worked. I can still edit the title to Japanese in Launchbox so that helps me with the Gamecube Isos. Still have to figure out what is going wrong with the Wii Isos titles are English but still not running.... Hmmmm. back to the drawing board.
Extract your isos. Dolphin can't read compressed files. Also, you should enable file extensions in explorer, that will save you from headaches in the future. That and avoiding using non English letters as much as possible in western software.
Alternatively, you can keep you isos compressed and enable "Extract ROMS archives files before running" in the Emulator's configuration window of LaunchBox.
If you want to have your isos compressed, the best thing you can do is compress them with Dolphin itself. Dolphin can read those compressed isos directly.
Longing for the days of Nintendo's most cubiform console? On Valve's Steam Deck, you can emulate the GameCube with a tool called Dolphin (not to be confused with the Deck's file manager). We'll walk you through getting it running and show you some tips for making the most of the GameCube emulator.
The first thing you must do to emulate the GameCube on your Steam Deck is open Firefox---this is the default browser in SteamOS, but you can use any browser you like---and summon the keyboard by pressing the "X" button, then type EmuDeck.com in the address line. Click the "Download" button on the home page's upper right-side to get to the download section of the EmuDeck website and hit the "Download Installer" button.
EmuDeck is not a Steam Deck emulator; instead, the app can download and automatically set up virtually every emulator available for the Steam Deck, making emulation on Steam Deck a breeze to set up.
To install EmuDeck, you have to copy the installer to your desktop. To do this, open Dolphin, the default SteamOS file manager, click the "Downloads" button on the left side by pressing the right trigger or the right touchpad. Next, right-click the "EmuDeck.desktop" file by pressing the left trigger on your Steam Deck. Next, click the "Cut" option.
Wait for the installer to download some files, after which you'll be greeted with the installation menu. Once inside the EmuDeck installer menu, click the "Custom Mode" button and then click on the "Continue" button.
The first option laid before you is to select where you want EmuDeck to create your ROM directory. We recommend getting a microSD card to store your ROMs on. Otherwise, they're going take up precious space on your internal drive. Plus, if you store ROMs on multiple cards, you can hot-swap them to move seamlessly between games.
The following window lets you choose which emulators you want EmuDeck to optimize and auto-configure. Select "Dolphin" from the list. Also, we recommend you let EmuDeck set up every emulator you plan on using since that's much easier than trying to configure them yourself. Manually setting up controls alone is enough to make you pull your hair out in frustration.
Next, you'll have to toggle a number of other emulation-related settings, such as whether you want GameCube games to be in the 4:3 or 16:9 aspect ratio. Pick whichever settings you prefer, and once you finish with the setup process, EmuDeck will complete the installation by installing the selected emulators and setting them up.
If you followed our advice and created your ROMs folder on your SD card, you can access it by clicking on the SD card tab located on the "Removable Devices" tab in the Dolphin file manager. Once there, you should see a folder named "Emulation." Enter the folder.
Once in the ROMs folder, look for a folder named "gamecube." That's the folder you want to copy your games in. The Dolphin emulator supports the following GameCube file types: CISO, DOL, ELF, GCM, GCZ, ISO, NKIT.ISO, RVZ, WAD, WIA, and WBFS.
Once you open Steam ROM Manager, look at the right side of the app. There you'll find a parser list that includes various consoles with a toggle button next to each console. Toggle the switch on for each console you want to see in your Steam Deck's Game Mode. This will show each game for that console as a standalone game in Steam.
If you toggle the button off for a particular console, remember that games for that console will only appear inside the EmulationStation DE app. You won't find them in your Steam library or in Steam Deck's Game Mode. We also recommend you keep the EmulationStation toggle button on so you can easily access all your emulated games in one place.
This will launch a new window where Steam ROM Manager will show you artwork for each game it locates in your "Emulation" folder. If you can't find a game you've copied, you most likely copied it to the wrong folder, used a file type unsupported by the Dolphin emulator, or made some other mistake.
In any case, if you find your games and like their default artworks, click the "Save Apps to Steam" button. If you don't like an artwork, you can customize it by hovering over the image with your mouse and clicking on an arrow to switch it or by tapping the artwork with your finger and then also tapping on an arrow to pick a different artwork.
You need to wait for Steam ROM Manager to add your GameCube games to Steam. This can take a few minutes when you have a bunch of games, so don't worry if it takes a while. Once you see the "Done Adding/Removing Entries" notification, you can exit Steam ROM Manager.
To test whether Steam ROM Manager did its job, open Steam while in Desktop Mode, go to your library, and see whether you can find a tab called "GameCube." If you added games for other platforms and selected them to show in Steam in Steam ROM Manager, those should also be present. If the games are there, that's it! Now you can emulate GameCube games on your Steam Deck!
Note that you can tweak Dolphin settings if you want. We don't recommend this unless you have a good reason since EmuDeck default settings are meant to be optimized for the Deck. If you still want to play around with settings, you can locate Dolphin by clicking the "Application Launcher" button and then the "Games" tab. Dolphin should be there. Now you can open it and tweak its settings to your liking.
Almost every emulator on Steam Deck supports controller shortcuts while in Game Mode, allowing you to save and load games or tweak some settings while playing games. These are the controller shortcuts for GameCube:
You can use separate controller settings for each emulated game, but only if you chose to show games for the specific system, in this case the GameCube, in Steam Rom Manager. To access controller settings, press the Steam button while inside a game. Then, press the "Controller Settings" tab with the "A" button. Next, press the "Controller Settings" button.

With the GameCube just turning the ripe old age of 20, there's never been a better time to get nostalgic about the best GameCube games. Nintendo's quirky and much-beloved fourth home console had some absolutely smashing titles, which have gone down in history as some of Nintendo's most unique and eclectic games.
