I just got in a used version of NTSC SD Media Launcher kit. The only reason why I have it...is so I can download a game save back up and play Gamecube version of Smash Bros and have all the levels and characters already open . Also, I own the gamecube Smash Bros disc, but it would also be nice if I ...

Curious...when playing a gamecube game off of SD media launcher to be able to use a downloaded game save, would that gamecube game need to play in a GC emulator(even though it's on the Gamecube)? If so, is there a performance penalty with that extra layer emulator?

Would N64 games(mainly just Mario Tennis, Mario Golf, and Smash Bro).... play as good on the Gamecube with Not64(or like emulator) as they would on first gen Wii VC? Would I notice a difference?

I have always like the Panasonic Q and now that I have decent job(20 years later) I can afford one. The issue is 2 things.... 1) I don't like opening up characters and stages in a game. I like for them to be already available. 2) I live in the united states, not japan. The only games I would be play...
