The GameCube is a console created by Nintendo in 2001. It is noted and praised for its quirky and innovative game library, and for its unique controller.
Contents
Ripping Tools
The GameCube uses DVD-based technology, which generally would mean that files are visible from a disk through any standard ISO viewer or by inserting the DVD into your computer's disk drive. However, Nintendo specifically designed their disk drives to read files in a unique manner, making the reading on GameCube game's disks require a special piece of software. There are a number of tools available.
Dolphin
It's possible to read the files from a GameCube ISO through the Wii/GameCube emulator, Dolphin.
Common File Formats
- .afc (Wind Waker sound file)
- .arc (Model file)
- .aw (Wind Waker sound file)

- Click on "Options", and then "Graphics Settings" from the drop-down menu.
- In the Graphics Configuration window, click on the "Advanced" tab, then check the "Dump Textures" box.
- Close the window, then select and launch the game you want to rip from.
- Play up to the point that has the sprites or textures you want to rip. Once you get everything you need, close or pause the game.
