The GameCube System Menu is the top-level menu interface of the GameCube game console, allowing the player to load discs. change settings, and manage up to two memory cards at once. To access these features, the player must either hold A on controller 1, have no disc inserted, or have the lid open as the GameCube logo animates.
Dolphin does not include the GameCube System Menu by default, and it doesn't need it; it is able to launch games straight from the Dolphin GUI. However, the System Menu is fully functional; it can load discs.
Problems
Accessing the Menu
The only way to access the menu is to disable skipping the BIOS, load any GameCube game, and hold A as the GameCube logo animates. There is no direct boot to the menu unlike the Wii System Menu having such an option in Dolphin.
Flickering Menu
Needs virtual or real XFB to display correctly.
Screeching Noise
Needs DSP LLE for proper sound.
Savestates/GameINIs/Cheats Do Not Work
Due to how Dolphin works, Dolphin only recognizes the first thing loaded as the game that is being played. For example, if you load Super Smash Bros. Melee from the Game List, and then change disc and load Super Mario Sunshine, the game settings from the GameINI, cheats, and even any savestates you make will be for Melee and not Sunshine. There is no solution at this time.
Compatibility
Only configuration options for the best compatibility where they deviate from defaults are listed.
