Fast Facts on the Triforce

Made by: Sega, Nintendo, Namco

Triforce is an arcade board developed in a joint venture by Sega, Nintendo, and Namco, based upon Nintendo's GameCube. All Triforce games run off GD-ROM (except Donkey Kong Jungle Fever, Mario Kart Arcade GP, and Mario Kart Arcade GP 2, which use ROM cartridges).

Porting

In 2012, a homebrew application was released for the Nintendo Wii that enabled this GameCube-derived console to run Mario Kart Arcade GP and its sequel (see the list below). The coder stated that support for other games and additional features are possible but emphasised that he would not be releasing homebrew or information due to his anger at others in the homebrew scene who had leaked his work.[1]
