I got the GameCube version working on my Steam Deck. There isn’t any lag because it’s not an online game. But if you’re talking about the load times, that is a genuine problem.

i use a refurbished windows pc so it's not super powerful. i only got 4 gb of ram so idk if it affects it?? i played sonic heroes before (it was labeled as a fan remake, but the music didn't work) and it ran well. i think it's because it was specifically made for pc but i can't get the og pc version to work

Steam Deck has 16GB of RAM. So it may just be an issue with running GameCube games as a whole. Try running another GameCube game like Super Monkey Ball 2 and see if it has the same problem.

i tried running shadow the hedgehog and sa2b but they were also choppy. the thing is that earlier when i first got them they were fine, and i didn't have any audio on then so i wonder if the audio lags it? i checked settings and everything. its really annoyign

There are tweaks to the graphics you can make and also how the computer processes the game.

I don’t remember how I did this, but I had the same problem just to a lesser extent (it with the Cars game), plus in-game text wouldn’t appear including on title screens.

I think what I did was I changed which video renderer I was using. It’s somewhere in the Dolphin settings (probably with graphics)

i checked the settings and spent like 30 minutes reading them and making sure the lag wouldnt happen. either way i redownloaded sonic heroes pc and it works now for some reason i DONT KNOW WHY BUT IT DOES NOW

Old Reddit threads are your best friend.

Not directly related, but if you’re looking to emulate the Adventure games or anything else for the Dreamcast, I highly recommend a program called Redream. It runs smooth as butter!

i was also tryna emulate sa2b
i want to play the dc versions but i also want the upgraded version of sa2...

I haven’t really tried any GameCube or Wii emulators myself

I didn’t want to emulate the DreamCast so I just did the GameCube ports of old DC games.

Skies of Arcadia
Donald Duck Goin Quackers
Crazy Taxi
Puyo Pop Fever

Helps me keep them together with other GC games

Cool

i have a wii so i can also play those games if i managed to get a gcn controller and gcn discs of thiose games

Same. I generally try not to emulate games from consoles that I have access to and can play authentically, with the exception of the DS. DS games are hella expensive now.

i am broke af and its hard for me to find copies of games. most of them are f**king 90+ dollars online
anyway i got sonic heroes working!
