Talking about gpu, when opened the file i saw some text files mentioning openGL, SDL and all these stuff!

Dude, seriously, don't get your hopes up. While the idea of portable gamecube games is great, it will never happen on the n900. Portable gc is only possible with a good enough laptop right now. Maybe in 5 or 10 years we'll have phones powerful enough.

But see, GBA has an ARM processor ( like N900 ), running at 17mhz,
and even at 600mhz we still don't have a fast enough emu...
That's the emulator's fault, not the phones. Someone else did take up development on one so we'll see.

As for a Game Cube emulator, it will never be playable, this I can guarantee.

I would throw my N900 in the closest trash if it was!

Gamecube? On a 600Mhz/1Ghz processor? With a 110Mhz GPU and 256Mb RAM?
Forget it. My old computer with a 3,2Ghz processor and 1Gb RAM only had 3-10FPS. With my quad-core AMD running at 3Ghz along with 6Gb RAM and a ATI RHD 5750, it runs close to full speed.
Now, how would the N900 perform? 1FPS or lower is my belief.
It is true that the N900 is more powerful than a Gamecube, but emulating it is useless. Why not make native game that push the level of detail in 3D games instead?
