Submit your app

Dolphin Depot accepts homebrew games, emulators, utilities, demos, and media apps for the Nintendo GameCube. Follow the steps below to get your project listed.

1. 1

   Host your release

   Your app must be downloadable from a public source. Supported sources are GitHub Releases, GitLab Releases, itch.io, or any direct HTTPS URL. We store a copy of your release on our CDN to ensure it remains available. Make sure your software licensing allows redistribution!

2. 2

   Adopt the homebrew packaging standard

   GameCube homebrew never had a shared packaging standard the way Wii did. We're trying to change that. The release guide covers folder structure, file naming, and metadata so users get a more polished, consistent experience on their console.

   Write the manifest

   The manifest.json file describes your app: name, author, category, supported platforms and peripherals, and where to fetch releases. Use the generator for a guided form, or edit JSON directly against the schema reference.
