How to play Wii & Gamecube on your PC - Dolphin Emulator
Emulators
To be able to play Wii or Gamecube games on your PC you will need a so called Emulator. An Emulator is software which is simulating the hardware and software of other systems like consoles. It´s a program which pretents to be a console. If you want to play Wii or Gamecube games i would recommend you to use the Dolphin Emulator.
Dolphin Emulator
In my opinions Dolphin is one of the best emulator ever made. It is very ergonomic and easy to use, there are a lot possibilities to costumize the graphics and the performace is a lot better than it is on the original consoles.

I love emulators. They are a great way to enjoy games (arcade) that are not available anymore or when you don't own the console. I tried Dolphin once in the past but it was not finished yet. What kind of CPU power do you need for the emulator?
When you want to play gamecube games it does not need to be as high as when you play wii games. But i would recommend an Intel i5. I am using an Intel i5 6600K. On dolphins website they say "Fast CPU with SSE2."
