Pixel processing problems: on the road to pixel perfection

The GameCube GPU is a complex, tight-knit piece of hardware with impressive features for its time. It is so powerful and so flexible, it was used unmodified within the Wii architecture. For a comparison, just imagine a SNES running with an NES’s graphics system. This is completely unheard of, before or since. The GameCube is a remarkable achievement of hardware engineering! With its impressive capabilities, emulating the GameCube’s GPU has been one of the most challenging tasks Dolphin has ever faced.

Fantastic in-depth look at specific parts of the GameCube/Wii GPU, written by the developers of the Dolphin emulator.
