History
ETH2GC is born
An affordable, open-source network adapter for the GameCube. With online connectivity becoming accessible, the idea of a homebrew app store emerged, giving the console a real reason to go online.
Dolphin Depot early beginnings
The name "Dolphin Depot" is coined and the project takes shape. The first version of the API goes live alongside the app registry concept and an early build of the indexer: the core infrastructure that powers the catalog.
GameCube client PoC
Work begins on a native GameCube client proof of concept. A dedicated binary API is developed in parallel, enabling the client to operate efficiently within the console's hardware constraints.
Preparing for beta
Intensive development on the GameCube client: polishing the UI, stabilizing network communication, and getting everything ready for the first public test.
Closed beta
The first beta launches to a select group of users from the community Discord server. Real hardware testing begins.
Public beta
Dolphin Depot opens to everyone. Anyone with a GameCube and a network adapter can browse the catalog and download homebrew straight to their console.
